After a very NOISY 4th of July holiday with fireworks \U0001f387, I thought noise would be a good topic for the podcast today.\xa0 Noise, noise pollution, audio landmines\u2026They\u2019re all great words to describe the unwanted sounds I DON\u2019T want in my audio when I record projects. Producing clean audio is important to my clients, so it\u2019s important to me.\xa0

I talk about noises I struggle in this episode so that you understand the challenges narrators and voice actors face.\xa0 If you\u2019re not a narrator or a voice actor, you may still find value in this episode.\xa0 Maybe you\u2019re a podcaster, an online course creator, or someone who presents content another way online, like being a speaker at an online conference.\xa0 You might find this episode eye-opening so you can change your recording environment or practices for the better. \xa0

Noises are distracting, and they diminish the listener experience.\xa0 It can be hard to concentrate on what I\u2019m saying when you can also hear noise in the background. Which noises do I struggle with?\xa0 Some noises come from my body.\xa0 Others come from things I wear.\xa0 Vehicles create noise.\xa0 Mother Nature does too.\xa0 Machines outside my home make noise.\xa0 Some noises come from inside my house.\xa0 Noises also come from my computer, critters, and unexpected places. \xa0

In this episode, I also talk about strategies to help, like recording in a windowless room containing sound-absorbing material, using common sense, waiting for sounds to pass, finding patterns to noises, listening to coaches and audio engineers, removing noises with iZotope RX8 audio repair software, and knowing when to quit for the day. \xa0
