Wrong!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The last thing you need is to record the CEO and have him\/her sound horrible or look ridiculous because they are holding a fuzzy mic on a long wire up to their mouth. Instead, just learn a little about mics and you can purchase and\/or choose the right one.<\/p>\n<p id=\"h-all-mics-are-not-built-equally\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>All Mics Are Not Built Equally<br \/>\n<\/strong>I had someone who was having audio trouble tell me that they used a \u201cBrand Name\u201d mic before and it sounded good, so maybe they would go back to using a \u201cBrand Name\u201d mic. As you can imagine,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.learningguild.com\/articles\/choose-the-right-microphone-for-virtual-sessions\">choosing a mic<\/a>\u00a0for a certain purpose based on the brand name is equivalent to choosing a Chevy mini-hybrid car to tow an RV because your truck used to tow the RV well and it was a Chevy. Brands make different types of microphones and understanding how mics are built can help you to choose the right one, no matter the brand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check Your Mic Before You Wreck Your Project &#8212; from learningguild.com by Kendal Rasnake While a lot of our narration may be produced by AI nowadays, there are times when you need to record audio, such as when you need someone in-house to do a voiceover, or you are recording an interview, job shadow video, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[354,260,200,8,119,64,196,195,118,367,822],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-av-audiovisual","category-content-development-aggregation-repositories","category-corporate-universities","category-digital-audio","category-instructional-design","category-it-in-he","category-productivity-tips-and-tricks","category-tools","category-training-corporate-universities","category-vendors","category-voice-recognition-voice-enabled-interfaces"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98770"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98770\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":98771,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98770\/revisions\/98771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
