How I Film Voiceovers for Shorts and Reels

Introduction

Filming voiceovers doesn't have to be complex or require high-end gear. I'm currently using the voice memo app on my iPhone to record all of my voiceovers. The gear you use might matter somewhat, but what's more crucial is your filming location. Let me show you mine.

Yes, that's right—I use my closet. This is literally where and how I film all of my voiceovers for Instagram reels and YouTube shorts. The reason I choose my bedroom closet is that it's full of clothing. Don't mind the mess, by the way; this is a very lived-in situation.

The clothing in the closet absorbs a lot of the echo that you would otherwise hear in my voice. As a result, the recording ends up sounding much better, in my opinion, than if it were done outside or in a big room with lots of echoes.

Another tip: No matter what kind of microphone you're using to record, make sure it's about a hand's length away from your mouth. This way, it won't sound too close or too far away; instead, it'll sound just right.
