Sound quality matters! Poor audio or distracting noises can be a major turn-off for viewers. Follow these tips to ensure your videos have great audio.

Find a place with minimal background noise, like fans, traffic, or people talking. The quieter the space, the clearer your audio will be. You can also make the room quieter by turning off fans, TVs, and other noisy devices.

Always test your audio by recording a short clip and listening to it. This helps you catch any problems before you start filming the entire video.

Set your phone to airplane mode to avoid message alerts or calls interrupting your recording and ruining your video.

Position yourself at arm’s length or closer to your phone’s mic for clear audio. Staying close helps capture your voice without too much background noise, but don’t get too close to avoid distortion.

If you have access to one, use an external microphone like a lapel mic or USB mic. These provide much better audio quality than your phone or camera’s built-in mic.

Try to record in rooms with soft surfaces like rugs or curtains to absorb sound and reduce echo.

If your video already has background noise, you can usually fix it during editing. We recommend using Audo Studio, a free and easy-to-use tool for reducing background noise.
