Your condenser or dynamic microphone should be roughly 4 to 12 inches away from your mouth and chin to get the best possible results. If you place the microphone at too close of a distance, it will only pick up the low-frequency noises in your voice. If you use a dynamic microphone, you won't have a lot of wiggle room. Suppose the volume of your voice is too low. In that case, you may improve the recording quality by moving the microphone farther away from your mouth and turning the gain knob up. However, there is a possibility that the ambient noise in the room, such as the noise from the computer fans or the air conditioner, will be picked up by your microphone. If you use a headset microphone, you should position it to the side and approximately an inch away from your mouth to get the best results. In the end, the guidelines presented before are only a rule of thumb. Because everyone has various rooms and voices, it is essential to try out numerous configurations to find the one that works the best for you before going live.
