How to Keep Your Voice Consistent in Your Screencasts

Hi Storytellers! Happy Filmmaking Thursday!

I don’t know if you’ve noticed that when you’re watching a video that starts with someone speaking to the camera and then switches to a screencast, there is often a big change in the quality or volume of the audio.

Here are a few reasons for why this happens:

           1. They use 2 different microphones

           2. They sit in a different position

           3. The parts were filmed on different days

Our voices change from day to day. The differences are very subtle in person, but become more obvious in recordings. Big differences also occur depending on how you sit or stand while you speak.

There are two things I do to avoid vocal differences after I’ve filmed all of my parts with me talking to the camera:

           1. I hold my script for my screencasts out in front of me and level with the camera.

           2. I make sure I am still projecting my voice to the camera.

These 2 tips will ensure you get the same quality and level of audio throughout your video.

It’s as easy as that. Stay in your filming setup, hold up your scripts, use the same mic and speak in the same position.
