I get -73 dB for “room tone” – is that good? – Use an Analyze tool (such as is in Twisted Wave) to get a value of the Average RMS for this. – Normalize your audio so that the Peaks are generally hitting -3 dB. – Record about 15 seconds or so at this level. – Don’t say anything (or breathe on the mic, etc…) – Set your input so that your voice levels are peaking in roughly the -12 to -6 dB range. Simplest method to test for noise floor in your raw recording: Noise floor is the background sound when you are recording at appropriate input levels. In other words, one important consideration is the difference between the background sound/noise in your recording and the general peaks of your voice. It’s important to think of the noise floor as a value that’s relative to the recorded level. Many people who claim super low noise floor levels in their home studios are simply reducing the INPUT level when they record. Noise floor is the sound in your recordings when you aren’t talking. Topic: Studio room tone, noise floor, background sound It’s a key tool for efficiency in long-form recording.

Adobe Audition, Ocenaudio and Audacity have it as well. (Destructive) Twisted Wave just added it (to the cheers of many of us). (Nondestructive) Studio One, Reaper and ProTools all have excellent implementations of this option. – You continue until you make another error. Some destructive recording environments allow you to “push” the original recording along the timeline as a way of not deleting it). In “destructive” recording software, it is deleted by the new recording. (In “nondestructive” recording software, the old error is retained and can be accessed – it’s essentially in a hidden “layer”. – This creates an immediate “edit” and overwrite of everything following the cursor point – so the error you made earlier is now replaced by the new recording.

– When the playback reaches the cursor point, the software begins recording. You can talk along with yourself to lock in cadence and volume. – The pre-roll is audible in you headphones, allowing you to find the tone and timing of your last good sentence or phrase. – The software begins playing the part you previously recorded from a certain amount of time before the location where you placed the cursor. – You “Record” (if P&R is on) or “Punch Record” (if it’s a different menu option). – You stop recording and place the cursor in front of the error. It is a specific feature in many DAW’s which you turn on or implement with a different command than regular Record. In current digital systems, it’s really referring to a “pre-roll” system of recording. The term comes from tape days when you “punched in” a recording while the tape was “rolling”. Recording Techniques What is “Punch In” or “Punch and Roll”?

Note: This is a work in progress and I’ll be adding older resources from my voiceover archives and appending new responses as voice actors ask more questions.

If you have a vo technical recording or workflow question that isn’t covered here or in those articles, please ask me directly through the form at the bottom of the this page. Didn’t find an answer to your voiceover question? I’ve also linked to previous voiceover tech and VO workflow resources I’ve written where appropriate. That will bring up articles and resources I’ve published which may go into deeper detail. (If you are on a computer, it should appear in the upper right of the screen, on mobile/iOS flick down to the bottom of the page to find it). The “Search…” box will take you away from this resource page and give you results from all of my resources and articles. The “SEARCH” box is a site-wide SEARCH for JustAskJimVO.studio site. You’ll see a “Search this page” window pop up where you can type in a phrase or keywords. You can search this page by pressing Command/Control-F in almost any current browser. I’ve grouped questions on similar topics together, and supplied links to resources posted on this site if you want to learn more. It seems to make more sense to just make those answers generally available here.

As more people enter the world of voiceover, I found myself returning to that document, refining those answers and reposting them. A few years ago, I started adding certain answers into a text document before sharing them. Over the years, I’ve been involved in various online communities – USENET groups, BBS’s, Flickr photo gangs… and of course Facebook and LinkedIn voiceover groups. Do you have a VO question? I may have answered it…
