Camera mics catch too much noise. Use an external mic like a lapel or shotgun mic for cleaner, sharper voice audio. It makes your brand videos sound much more clear and professional right from the start.

1. Use Better Microphones

Wear closed headphones while recording. They let you hear background noise, buzz, or static instantly. You can fix issues on the spot instead of finding problems after everything is already recorded.

2. Always Wear Headphones

Before recording, turn off anything noisy like fans, fridges, or ACs. Even small, unnoticed sounds can get picked up by your mic and ruin the clean voice recording you need for a polished brand video.

3. Keep Background Quiet

Choose a room with curtains, carpets, and cushions. These soft items absorb sound and reduce echo. Try to stay away from windows, large halls, or outdoor areas that bring in outside noise.

4. Pick a Quiet Room

Put a pop filter in front of your mic. It helps block sharp air sounds from letters like “P” and “B.” This makes your voice smoother and avoids harsh sounds in your final video audio.

5. Add a Pop Filter

Always do a short test before recording the real take. Make sure voices are not too soft or too loud. Adjust the mic or recorder volume early to avoid problems that are hard to fix later.

6. Check Sound Levels

At the start, clap your hands or use a clapperboard. This creates a spike in sound that helps line up audio and video during editing, so the voice perfectly matches the mouth movement in your video.

7. Clap to Sync Audio

If filming outdoors, use a windscreen or furry mic cover (called a deadcat). It blocks loud wind sounds that make it hard to hear voices. These are small tools that really help with clear outdoor audio.

8. Block Wind Noise

Use a second mic or audio recorder during shooting. If the main one fails or sounds bad, the backup saves the day. Having two recordings gives peace of mind and avoids reshooting the whole video.

9. Always Record Backup

Use editing software to clean up your sound—remove noise, adjust volume, and improve clarity. But remember, editing works best when your original recording is already clear and well-recorded.
