Think of it this way -- you're essentially recording a podcast, except including your video as well. Become really aware of reverb/echoey sound in your audio, and adjust for it. Ideas to try: Bring your mic as close to your mouth as possible (well, not so close as to distort the sound.) Fewer hard surfaces around you where sound can bounce around -- cover it with soft material like clothing or blankets. Or sound tiles. Which can be pieces of art! Get a better mic :) my favorite are Earpods (the wired type) purchased direct from Apple (don't get the knockoffs from Amazon and many retailers) Comment below with mics that have great sound for you!

I just got some Apple wired earpods to hopefully have better sound however, the first video I recorded started having a terrible static sounds partway through! I had to re-record it without headphones. I was filming on my phone. Does anyone have any ideas why this would be?
