Ten small habits for better voice tracks

Stand up if you can. Your breathing is freer and your voice sounds more awake.
Mark the script. Underline words to stress and add a slash where you will breathe.
Smile on friendly lines. Listeners can hear it even when they cannot see it.
Use closed headphones so the playback does not leak into the microphone.
Record in WAV, 48 kHz, and export a compressed copy only at the end.
Leave a clap at the start of each take to find it quickly in the editor.
Re-read a line straight away when you stumble instead of stopping the recording.
Keep the same position across sessions so the sound stays consistent.
Take breaks every twenty minutes; a tired voice gets flat and dry.
Back up raw takes in two places before you start editing.
