Invest in a quality microphone that suits your recording environment. **Dynamic mics** are great for loud sounds, while **condenser mics** are better for softer sounds.
Soundproof your recording space to avoid unwanted noise. Use **soft furnishings** to absorb sound and reduce echoes.
Use headphones to monitor audio levels while recording. Aim for levels around **-12dB to -6dB** to avoid clipping.
Prevent **plosive sounds** (like 'P' and 'B') by using a pop filter in front of your microphone. This ensures cleaner audio.
Always do a test recording to check the audio quality. Make necessary adjustments before your final take.
