Costs of doing it yourself

Now let’s look at the recording session. Let’s say you get all of the recording done in two hours (a very low estimate). It’s just you and your voiceover talent. While you have two hours of recording time, you also have to factor in the time to prepare and some incidental time. It’s not like you just stop your work and teleport to the conference room and then teleport right back. We’ll say that the two hours of recording also includes an extra hour of prep time. So, two people at three hours equals six hours of labor. At $100 per hour, you’re looking at $600 just to do the recording. This doesn’t include the lost productivity of using in-house talent. Because you’re doing the recording yourself, you’ll have increased edit and review time. If you run some quick estimates, I’m sure that you’ll find that you’re easily spending over $1000 for your free narration. And you’re still making compromises on the quality.

Quality Microphones

The microphone you use affects the quality of your audio. There are many resources online to teach you about microphones. The main thing to understand is that microphones are not the same and how they record audio is different. Take some time to learn the basics of microphone technology. It’ll help you get the best results when you record narration. I also recommend visiting a community forum to ask others what mics they use and how they record their narration. Ideally, you get to record your audio in a controlled environment like a studio. However, this is usually not the case. Many times you’re forced to record the narration in a conference room with limited control over the ambient sound like office chatter, copying machines, and air conditioning. In this case, make do with what you can. Turn off the air conditioner. Unplug office machines. Ask people to be quiet.
