The good news? You donโt need a fancy studio setup to sound pro.
Here are 5 easy (and cheap) ways to level up your audio:
1๏ธโฃ Quiet the room. Blankets, pillows, or even that pile of laundry you keep meaning to fold can absorb echo. Soft stuff = better sound.
2๏ธโฃ Use Krisp.ai. App that cancels out background noise on your laptop. Kids, dogs, coffee shop chaos. Itโs like a mute button for your environment. 3๏ธโฃ Mic hack. If you donโt have a mic, your earbuds probably have a better one than your laptop. Plug those in and call it an upgrade.
4๏ธโฃ Podcast.adobe.com. Works like magic with a night and day difference in sound. Upload your recording and it will clean, crisp, and improve your audio like youโre in a studio. 5๏ธโฃ Stay close. Donโt record across the room. Get that mic (or phone) 6โ12 inches from your mouth. Close = clear.
Remember: people might forgive bad lighting, but theyโll bounce fast if your audio is trash.
