Keep breaths shallow, quick breaths in or out cause a lot of air to rush over the mic which sounds very noisyĪ better mic will tend to record your narration with greater depth and quality.

Don’t run any other programs if possible so the CPU isn’t under load – that way the fan is less likely to run fast which tends to make it louder.

Turn off all other equipment including mobile phones, fridges and fans.

Isolate your recording environment – be in a room by yourself with the door shut and windows sealed.
