<\/span>Positions for Recording Voice Overs<\/span><\/h2>\nThe position you record your eLearning voice over in is critical because it definitely affects your tone, not to mention your health because you’re likely to be recording for long periods of time. Typically, you may either record your voice overs while sitting or standing. There is a lot of debate on whether it is better to sit while recording or to stand.<\/p>\n
Let’s go over each …<\/p>\n
<\/span>Sitting Position<\/span><\/h3>\nIf your recording material is extensive, the first choice would be to sit near the microphone for maximum comfort. Have a look at the pros and cons of sitting at the mic while recording eLearning voice overs:<\/p>\n
<\/span>Pros:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Optimal comfort and convenience.<\/li>\n
- You can record for longer periods of time.<\/li>\n
- Allows you to create a more intimate atmosphere and record with a soft, gentle voice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Cons:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Limited freedom for hand gestures.<\/li>\n
- Your voice overs may lack personality because body language isn’t possible.<\/li>\n
- There are health implications for sitting for too long.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Standing Position<\/span><\/h3>\nSome people may find it appropriate to stand at the microphone while recording voice overs. Here are the pros and cons of recording in this position:<\/p>\n
<\/span>Pros:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Your body language can be ‘heard’ in your voice.<\/li>\n
- It brings more energy to the table.<\/li>\n
- It’s easier to make hand gestures.<\/li>\n
- Breathing is more comfortable when you’re standing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Cons:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- You can get tired while recording a long-form voice over while standing.<\/li>\n
- Certain medical conditions (if any) can get worse if you stand for too long.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
So, should you sit or stand while recording your eLearning voice overs?<\/em><\/p>\nI’ve done both. In fact, I’m sure I’ve both sat and stood for recordings used in the same online course.<\/p>\n
Standing is going to produce better sound and a better voice over. There’s just something about not being hunched over that makes you come across better. In addition, you can be more animated while standing up. So I try to do most of my recordings standing up, but there are just some days where I admit, I’ll sit.<\/p>\n
I recommend you try both ways and see whether sitting or standing up works better for you. Make sure to listen to the end result before you make your decision.<\/p>\n
Also, make sure you take regular breaks while recording whether you’re sitting or standing at the microphone.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Microphone Stand: An Essential Item<\/span><\/h2>\nA microphone stand may come in handy while you’re recording your eLearning voice overs regardless of your position. Doing a voice over involves a lot of speaking and plenty of sitting\/standing – you shouldn’t have to handle the mic on top of that!<\/p>\n
Using a microphone stand ensures that your hands are free while you’re recording. The position of your mic is as important as its quality. A microphone stand keeps the microphone fixed at one position, making your recordings sound more consistent and even.<\/p>\n
With stands, you’ve got options. The main two types are microphone desk stands and regular stands.<\/p>\n
I use a microphone desk stand now. Prior to that I had a regular microphone stand. I found that the stand was always in the way and I’d have to move it out and re-position it several times throughout my recordings. This made it difficult to get a good position or at least the same position each time (and that can make a big difference).<\/p>\n
I highly suggest a desk stand. An adjustable desk stand allows me to move my microphone out of the way when I’m not using it and it’s easy to pull it down when I need it. I can sit or stand with the desk stand since mine is adjustable.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Choosing the Best Microphone Desk Stand for eLearning Voice Overs<\/span><\/h2>\nWhen it comes to choosing a microphone desk stand, there are tons of options – microphone boom stands, built-in mic stands, floor tripod stands, tabletop desk stands and more.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the best microphone stands based on your sitting or standing recording position.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Standing Position<\/span><\/h3>\nSome people may find it appropriate to stand at the microphone while recording voice overs. Here are the pros and cons of recording in this position:<\/p>\n
<\/span>Pros:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Your body language can be ‘heard’ in your voice.<\/li>\n
- It brings more energy to the table.<\/li>\n
- It’s easier to make hand gestures.<\/li>\n
- Breathing is more comfortable when you’re standing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Cons:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- You can get tired while recording a long-form voice over while standing.<\/li>\n
- Certain medical conditions (if any) can get worse if you stand for too long.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
So, should you sit or stand while recording your eLearning voice overs?<\/em><\/p>\nI’ve done both. In fact, I’m sure I’ve both sat and stood for recordings used in the same online course.<\/p>\n
Standing is going to produce better sound and a better voice over. There’s just something about not being hunched over that makes you come across better. In addition, you can be more animated while standing up. So I try to do most of my recordings standing up, but there are just some days where I admit, I’ll sit.<\/p>\n
I recommend you try both ways and see whether sitting or standing up works better for you. Make sure to listen to the end result before you make your decision.<\/p>\n
Also, make sure you take regular breaks while recording whether you’re sitting or standing at the microphone.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Microphone Stand: An Essential Item<\/span><\/h2>\nA microphone stand may come in handy while you’re recording your eLearning voice overs regardless of your position. Doing a voice over involves a lot of speaking and plenty of sitting\/standing – you shouldn’t have to handle the mic on top of that!<\/p>\n
Using a microphone stand ensures that your hands are free while you’re recording. The position of your mic is as important as its quality. A microphone stand keeps the microphone fixed at one position, making your recordings sound more consistent and even.<\/p>\n
With stands, you’ve got options. The main two types are microphone desk stands and regular stands.<\/p>\n
I use a microphone desk stand now. Prior to that I had a regular microphone stand. I found that the stand was always in the way and I’d have to move it out and re-position it several times throughout my recordings. This made it difficult to get a good position or at least the same position each time (and that can make a big difference).<\/p>\n
I highly suggest a desk stand. An adjustable desk stand allows me to move my microphone out of the way when I’m not using it and it’s easy to pull it down when I need it. I can sit or stand with the desk stand since mine is adjustable.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Choosing the Best Microphone Desk Stand for eLearning Voice Overs<\/span><\/h2>\nWhen it comes to choosing a microphone desk stand, there are tons of options – microphone boom stands, built-in mic stands, floor tripod stands, tabletop desk stands and more.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the best microphone stands based on your sitting or standing recording position.<\/p>\n
