Thank you so much! I looked this video up in a pinch right before a voiceover session, and just the simple coconut oil and gum tricks combined saved me about an hour in post-recording cleanup, and, more importantly, alleviated a lot of frustration around the raw quality of recording. You are an absolute star!
THANK YOU. I have started a podcast where I do all the voice acting (it’s a narrated novel, so it’s got a LOT of accents in it, eight so far) and the mouth click thing was driving me NUTS. I’m usually a vocalist, ie singer, so I don’t have to worry about mouth sounds generally speaking. A whole new way of recording, is narration. You’ve helped me so much, not just here but also in the American accent department. I used to be able to do an amazing Californian accent after staying in LA for a few months in my twenties, but I had oral surgery in my late 20s and half of my tongue was made numb so I’ve had to learn to move half of my tongue ALL over again. I never really nailed the American accent again after that, but I can finally do it now. Thank youuuu!
I can't tell you how helpful this was for me. Thank you so much! I was doing absolutely everything recommended for staying hydrated and keeping moisture up during a session, but my clicks and pops were getting worse not better with most suggestions. I create a LOT of saliva and have issues with post-nasal drip, so trying the cranberry juice and focusing on clearing my mouth rather than adding more saliva made a huge difference. My iZotope plug-in thanks you! XD
Really helpful. I've recently bought a Snowball Ice that requires me to be very close to it in order for my voice to become clear. Was very annoying when I heard the mouth sounds.
I love this video! Bragg's is wonderful stuff, and don't even get me started on coconut oil! Your philosophical approach is very harmonious to mine. Xylitol gum, excellent practical tips-I love it!! And oil pulling is amazing. I'd like to point out that, as a health practice, it's best to do first thing when you wake up and to swish or "pull" the oil for 20-30 minutes. During a performance, just a little coconut oil to lubricate the mouth is not just effective, but delicious and healthy I'm heading to your website right now. I just love your shine! Instant fan.
If you want to remove them completely, try using a gate and white noise. Unless you want to spend ages editing. Otherwise keep the videos as they are, it's no big deal for TH-cam.
Thanks for this, Amy. I'll be sure to share this really great list of tips with my voiceover clients who suffer from chronic mouth noise and don't want to rely on audio processing to fix it.
This was so helpful! I've started to get a lot of voice over work and have been spending a wild amount of hours editing out mouth sounds and sinus sounds (allergy congestion) and was so frustrated because I couldn't keep up with my work. Trying these has changed my recording sessions and editing from being insanely frustrating to being fun again. Thank you!!!
keckm88 have you tried using nasal strips by any chance? They really help to open up my nasal passages when I narrate. You can sometimes find them at the dollar store, too! Good luck :)
what about deep inhales in before words? I tend to take in a big noisy breath before words, usually through my nose. how do I reduce my breathing sounds?
Good!! Thank you. I'm a hypnotist who records audios. This is helpful especially about training myself how to handle certain letters. Lovely video..Jan
Good info, thanks, Amy. You mentioned spearmint gum. I'm going to record something now, and I don't have any gum, but I do have spearmint tea, which I like a lot - either plain or mixed with chamomile or green tea. I'm going to give that a try and see if it will help.
I keep avocado oil in a sprayer and squirt a tiny amount when needed. I also us a k-cup container to stretch my jaw. Works amazingly! Thank you for sharing your tips and posting this video!
I've tried quite a few tips from various people. I've tried water and apples. They don't work very well. They either don't have any effect or they make *MORE* saliva sounds afterwards. I have tried gum, and it either makes it better or makes it worse. Did record some voice lines and some sound great, but others sound worse!
Had a shit mic, had terrible latency when recording, now I have a great mic but it picks too much up and now I can hear everything I don't want to hear in my recordings, ahhhhhh, why can't it just be easy
Brilliant!! Thank you so much. How do I get in touch with you about getting some coaching? I'm an audiobook narrator, and have just recorded *the most difficult chapter of my life!!* I"m not sure why it was SO beastly, but jeez, it was f#@%ing arduous.
Awesome video! Some really good tips :) To cut down the length of the video and make it a bit more punchy, it might be an idea to edit out the fillers parts. For example, any "ums" and "yknows", for this a script might help. Also any anxious thinking out loud thoughts, whilst endearing, bulk out the video. Keep it up!
Damn, and here I thought it was nice to connect with a human without all of those annoying cut edits. Being real is endearing. I'm way more inclined to connect to this person then some polished princess with 1000 edits.
I find that gum really hinders me, probably due to malocclusion of lower jaw, cramped space, a.k.a. tongue too big, which causes slurred speech and makes me sound drunk.
It depends on how audible your saliva clicks are. Mine are at the end of every sentence for some reason. You can't hear them when I'm talking to someone, but a microphone (that's designed to pick up sound) will pick it up, and having one at the end of every sentence is brutal to listen to and brutal to edit out. I have to be like 12 inches from the mic or else the mic picks them up, but being that far away makes the sound echoey so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, so yes, it can be a big problem for some people.
@@luminous6969 I hate some noises, I'm really picky when it comes to noises (I hate dogs barking, I hate chutes slamming, doors slamming), but mouth clicks, I don't notice or care for that. I thought I even might be autistic because of how much stress some noises cause me, but mouth clicks? no
@@luminous6969 Know what, I just realized I have these infamous mouth clicks when I speak in videos and recordings, and they are pretty noticeable. wow, I learned what that is in practice.

My big takeaway: Spinach has no redeeming qualities.

Well you are just adorable, thank you. Mouth noises are the bane of my VO existence! lol. I have both braggs and Coconut oil at home. Hurray!
This is the most helpful advice I've heard! Thank you,I will try these techniques.

Tronicate Same here. I was wondering if anyone else had that issue.

Hi! Which method worked best for you?

Dont breathe lol jk. Try breathing a bit to the side or through your mouth...

This is my current situation..
Tell me about it, friend. I’m in the same boat 😂

Thank you!
I needed to hear this haha
Trying to get better recordings for TH-cam videos, thanks for the tips! My voice is awful so any small tips go a long way!
you are so pretty 🥺 and thank youu!
you are beautiful and your voice is so relaxing and nice :) thank you for your videos!
As I'm watching this eating my eggs and spinach with a banana and coffee...oops.
I saws watching while finishing my third lollipop-
Very helpful, thank you
FYI I've found a small piece of cheese completely primes my mouth to record without mouth noise.
This video is dumb all i was searching how to stop your mouth from clicking and all they do is talk about voice overs
@@jaykyle1094 she states very clearly that it's about mouth noise when recording..lol. And voiceover is where this issue stands out the most.
Hey Amy. Just wanted to say that you look like Lucy Lawless.
You got to expearmint a bit %^/ Thanks for the vid!
that video was really helpful thx for it
and
u r really beatiful
I have no idea why I'm watching this but it's interesting 😄

I couldn't say was kneeling without noise for the life of me lol.
I'm going to apply the vinegar method. If I die it is fault hahahah, Thanks for the tricks.

When you started to mention “CL” sounds cunnilingus came to my mind, go figure 🤷♂️
She's too beautiful
I was going crazy recording my song on the lyric, "that life" --It's impossible to say without mouth noise!
How do I send this to Kamala Harris?
I've been doing that with gum for years :P
I find that gum really hinders me, probably due to malocclusion of lower jaw, cramped space, a.k.a. tongue too big, which causes slurred speech and makes me sound drunk.
luv you
Do you mean Phlegm? Love your videos. Thanks so much for the great advice.
No just normal siliva (sometimes you can hear it in recordings), when you move your lips/tounge.
Thank you... And you are beautiful... :)
She's adorable
You're supersmart, I'm impressed. However, why go through so much trouble for something so minor? Maybe this is too much nitpicking?

did she just talk about having to interrupt a session to take a shit?
lengthy video and less info.
Felt kinky a bit
Definitely very pretty
You are so good looking.
eww mouth noise grosses me out
Stay away from ASMR then!
Sounds like a nightmare for you.
She lost me on the second word.
I could hear her mouth sounds while she was trying to explain how she's learned to not do them
This was so helpful. Ty !
Thank you!
