Good day, I'm currently in the process of trying to get a demo put together for a 3D adventure platformer type game and have been thinking of doing some voices for character dialogue.
I was wondering has anyone ever used their phone to record a script if they were in a quiet room with no loud ambience noise or is there any standard recording mics I can look into as I don't have a fancy setup, but would like to try getting some work done until I find some help.
There are some tutorials for youtubers how to record audio. While it is for other reaons, the tipps there apply to your setup.
Basically, the entry level is a lavalier in the 50 bucks range.
You could try to put a cloth over your phone to reduce ambient breathing noises, similar those fluffy things are put over lavaliers and just try it out. The microphone in phones is not really optimised for all this, but tech got better, so maybe it will be enough for your tests.
Other than this, just use your gaming head set, if you have a good one.
So what ive done is use audacity to record myself and also use it to clean up the audio with a low pass filter plugin.
if youre recording on phone I recommend using otters free plan so you can get a transcript of what youve said and scrub through audio for workflow purposes.
The other application Ive used it AVR X pro which allows me to export my audio in a number of different formats (mp3 FLAC etc..) to my google drive.
as far as a mic is concerned, I use a cheap daiso lav mic that I got for around $2 and once I throw it into a post editor like audacity the audio is really not bad at all, but even apple inline mics do really well if you have something laying around.
