You might be sounding different on mic due to several reasons such as nervousness, speech pace, tone, accent, or even background noise. It’s common to sound slightly different when recorded, as the natural feedback loop in face-to-face conversation is missing. To improve how you sound on mic, try the following:
– Relax and be yourself, don’t stress about sounding perfect.
– Speak at a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow.
– Use an appropriate tone and ensure you articulate your words clearly.
– If you have a distinct accent, embrace it but be aware of any words that might be misunderstood.
– Reduce background noise by using a noise-canceling mic or recording in a quiet room.
Finally, practice makes perfect. The more you record and listen to yourself, the more familiar and natural it will feel.
