Re-takes and Re-records
If at all possible, try to avoid having to re-do lines. Whether in a pro-studio or a home-studio, the re-take may stand out:
· It’s very difficult to recreate exactly the same setup - Make notes of mic and desk settings from your original studio session, to more easily replicate the original setup if you have to re-do lines later … or use pre-sets on the recording software so that as far as tech goes you are doing your best to sound the same
· And consider the time and conditions of your voice of the two recordings – what time of day did you record the first version? What had you eaten? How did you feel? Were you relaxed and properly prepared, or were you recording tired, after a difficult week of work and not enough sleep, or taking some medication? All of these issues will affect your voice and will be difficult to replicate exactly.
