I welcome you all to my participation in @marvinvelasquez 's challenge in which we have to write a script and do a camera and a sound test to make our videos better. I'm really excited for this challenge so lets get right into it!

For my video topic, I decided to focus on something that I really enjoy doing in my free time which is singing. Instead of covering complicated theory, my video is a simple guide on how to sing naturally, control your voice when the sound gets loud so your recording sounds great.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I wanted to map out a quick breakdown on how to get the best audio quality when recording your vocals on a phone. Here is the game plan we're following today. Let's get started

Singing with confidence isn't about memorizing a bunch of textbook theory. It really just comes down to relaxation. If your body is tense, your voice is gonna sound tense.

So, before you even think about attempting a full performance, you need to ease into your natural vocal range. A warm up tip I always use is just humming a simple melody like this...

See? Super simple. Just get comfortable first.

Next up, let’s talk about how where you stand completely changes how your recording sounds.

If you get way too close to your phone like this... [Lean in slightly to show the bad example], the audio gets muffled, and your voice totally overpowers the mic.

Instead, you want to keep a comfortable distance away from your phone. [Hold up your hand to measure the distance from the mic/phone]. This keeps your voice sounding clear and sharp without any extra effort.

Finally, you need to know how to handle those high notes and louder lines so you don't ruin the audio.

When you're about to hit a powerful line, don't just stay in one spot. Watch what I do here. When the volume goes up, I slightly lean my head back or take a small step back from the camera.

Doing that simple movement keeps your audio from cracking or distorting on the phone, meaning you get a clean take every single time.

And that’s pretty much it! Managing your audio on a phone doesn't have to be complicated. Just remember to stay relaxed, keep your distance, and back off the mic a bit when you're hitting those loud parts.

Try these out on your next recording and let me know if you notice a difference. If this helped you out, drop a comment below and let me know which tip worked best for you. Thanks for watching, and I’ll catch you guys in the next one.
