YOU MAY CONSIDER THESE SUGGESTIONS

  • Turn off your TV and other mobile phones while recording the narration.
  • Choose a place with natural lighting to shoot the video.
  • If shooting in an large enclosed space ensure that the voice does not echo. A space with wooden & cushion furniture is likely to reduce the incidence of echoes.
