Audio Quality Optimization
Master these factors to achieve professional-grade voice cloning results.
Environment
Recording location affects overall quality
Best Practices:
- Use a quiet room with minimal echo
- Record away from air conditioning and fans
- Choose smaller rooms over large spaces
- Use soft furnishings to reduce echo
Record in a closet full of clothes for natural sound dampening
Microphone Position
Distance and angle to microphone matters
Best Practices:
- Keep 6-8 inches from microphone
- Maintain consistent distance throughout
- Speak directly toward the microphone
- Avoid moving while recording
Use your phone's voice memo app held at arm's length
Speaking Style
How you speak affects cloning accuracy
Best Practices:
- Speak at normal conversational volume
- Use your natural speaking rhythm
- Include natural pauses and inflections
- Don't over-articulate or speak robotically
Read a paragraph from a book in your normal speaking voice
Audio Levels
Proper recording levels prevent distortion
Best Practices:
- Avoid speaking too loudly (clipping)
- Ensure voice is clearly audible
- Maintain consistent volume throughout
- Check playback before uploading
Test recording volume with a short sample first
