I'm editing the second season of an audio drama podcast right now. Before we started recording, my husband (our sound engineer) showed me this video. He thought this was a great idea, bought a dog clicker, and wanted to use it for recording. I thought it was great in theory, but horrible in practice. I didn't want our actors to feel that they were being treated like dogs, and that the snap sound in the headphones would be distracting or even painful for them. He talked it over with our director, we shared our concerns, and she tried it (with the caveat that only the director would use the clicker, to reduce confusion). After letting the performers make the inevitable puppy-training jokes, I have to admit, this is extremely helpful. The crisp snap of the clicker gave the actors structure, like the clap of a filmmaker's slate, and as I'm editing all this dialogue (it's going slowly but surely), having those pops on the sound file makes things SO MUCH EASIER.
Nice one Mike. Just to add to what Mike used. He used a clicker. That is important to note as the sound and waveform for it will be uniform all through the recording. If want to choose some other way of doing it, choose something that will give you a uniform waveform all the time. I use one of those pens that you press the top to release the tip and it makes that clicking sound.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. As a noob to VO and the enduring torture that editing can sometimes seem to be, thanks for sharing this way of speeding it up!
Listening you reading the book I would swear this is a TTS voice. Seriously, you have the exact formant of voice as the James US TTS voice. I love the click idea - good for other things like video etc... Clever!
And the beauty of using a DAW like Reaper for recording and editing means that if you edit a mistake incorrectly you haven't destroyed your file, so you can always adjust those splits later.
Absolutely right Jeff. Non-destrictuve editing for the win! And for those viewers reading this, you should definitely subscribe to Jeff's channel. Great stuff over there!
This is best voice over hack I have ever come across. I literally use my clicker on every project. Takes the editing time on long form narration down drastically.
I have to tell you- as having just completed voiceover for my first gig (a sci-fi novel- what a MARATHON), this one tip saved me SO MUCH TIME AND FRUSTRATION. I love all of your content- but this one tip right here has been COMPLETELY INDISPENSABLE. Thank you THANK you THANK YOU
Imagine how I feel... I just discovered this channel in just the last few months and have watched many of his videos and this is a first for me. Fun fact: I’ve heard him talk about his dog clicker but I’ve never seen the origin. Very cool. He doesn’t look much like modern Mark Hammel but once you get past the initial shock of beardlessness (real word), he’s not terrible to look at. 🤙
I totally agree about "staying in the flow", I've used the clicker method for many years and 100% prefer it to Punch & Roll. If anyone is concerned about the extra time it might take to remove unwanted takes - this process can be sped up significantly by marking the audio. Another thing you have to get used to is where to "come in" when you re-take so you end up with a clean natural-sounding edit, this comes with practice. Another side-benefit is that you have all your "fluffed" takes -- sometimes you might end up actually using one of those instead! Thanks for a great video :)
I got a dog-clicker from Petsmart and wore it out in a few months. Looking for a replacement around the house, I happened on some Mason Jar lids with the pop-up button in the center. It works great, and I'm still using it.
It is belated...but I just wanted to say how much I appreciated this video. It has saved me A TON of time editing, and is fantastic to use for audiobooks.
What a fantastic idea, Mike! I can't order a clicker from amazon, but I bet a tap with my pen on my drinking glass might work for me! I'm going to give it a try. I'm new at voicing over projects and have been using long pauses as visual signs of where to edit, (I may also have heard that tip from you,) but a quick sound jump will save a lot of time. Thanks!
I SO enjoyed listening to you clearly explain what I was trying to learn about. I searched and found it, the "clacker", but I needed to learn what to do with it. You explained really well just how to use it by putting us there in the booth with you, on the page with you. AND what to do afterward about the editing! Thank youuuu!
A very cheap clapperboard (the cool thing that helps with audio sync in movies) is what I use when recording podcast, but this Dog Clicker thing is more handy and easier to hold/use. Very nice ^^ Thanks for the tip!
Been watching the channel’s videos for months now and am tickled to finally see the origin of the clicker! (...and first time I’ve seen this beardlessness.. if that’s a word)
I purchased this tool... and people it works like a charm! And just like the genius Mike said, it makes the clean up (editing) super fast! Thanks Mike!
I tried it out like few months even did it for a friend that wanted to edit my audio. Which she even thought it works. So you really helpd me from losing my mind cause re listion over and over on every single parts be annoying XD
Mike, I didn't see anything in your collection of vids about audiobook editing and settings in your DAW for people like ACX, I'm just starting and info on audiobooks would really be helpful, I like doing the books and I need to refine my process--- maybe doing a detailed overview on doing audiobooks would be very helpful to your audience--- I notice that the end result files they use sound really bad compared to the originally produced files that you send them--- what are your thoughts ? thanks!!
You can also just set track markers. I have a shortcut set to M (in Reaper). The hitting the ,marker # on the keyboard in post will take you right there. Big time saver.
Found this linked from a much later video by Booth Junkie on punch and roll technique. I'm curious to try the dog clicker technique too. I think the challenge is that unlike Booth Junkie, I'm not quite good enough to nail the second take each time. So I suspect that I'd have to do multiple takes before hitting that "click" to let me know which take to go with. Still, it's better than the time wasting technique I've been using previously (rereading the whole thing when I wasn't satisfied with a couple of takes). Thanks for this tip anyway!
Thanks for sharing Mike. I guess it can also double as a trainer tool for yourself as you do not want to hear that sound, so you will do whatever you can to avoid it. I know in WaveLab you can set any key function to Insert a mark in the file. Therefore there is no audible clicks, just markers to go back and look at. Same concept, just a different way of marking the waveform for later editing.
Great idea thank you. One idea I have been using is to stop speaking for 10 seconds and that then shows up in the recording, however, your idea is better (and I don't have a dog so it is all good). Thank you again.
I would advise anyone to use punch and roll for long form recording like audiobooks as we do in the studios. But whatever system you use, you should always listen back to EVERYTHING, to make sure there are no tiny errors or external sounds or anything else that you missed because you were understandably concentrating on your performance. Those won't be highlighted by a clicker, of course.
You know what would make editing really easy? A plug-in for your DAW that would create a "track" that would be the voice-to-text conversion of the audio track. So this track would be the text of the audio, and be in sync with the audio. Then, just by looking at the text track, it would be easy to spot the errors.
This was so helpful!!! I've just been clapping my hands, but that starts to hurt after a while and throws me off balance. Definitely going to pick up one of these dog clickers!
Great idea, i've been recording voiceovers for quite a lot of years, but it never occurred to me, though it seems to be floating on the surface! Thank you)
I've watched so many of your videos and some podcast appearances. I even followed your advice while building my booth. I have to say this was the first time I saw you without the beard. Caught me off guard a little. LOL Love your video's thank you for sharing your knowledge. Loving it!
I found this video and GODALMIGHTY seeing you without a beard is terrifying ;;;-;;; But yeah! I've been doing that, but snapping my finger was what I used. Didn't always catch it, but this is much better!! Thanks :D
Although this is pretty cool ~ I found a way that I think is even faster, and won't freak out my dog in the other room ~ Did you know you can insert an actual marker directly into the project EXACTLY when you want, during recording? In my humble opinion, I think that method is much faster, because I don't have to "look" for the edits ~ I can literally jump right to them, with the push of a button! I have heard people say it take 2 hours to make an hour of finished work, but it only take me 1.2! :) I have only made about 40 or so Audiobooks for other publishers, so I don't know if I am still considered a beginner ~ good stuff!
You convinced me on the clicker (ordered). I wanted to help out, try editing in Audition, this way in Reaper is just too time consuming, typing S, S then ripple edit... Here's how I do it in audition.., *Drag select the waveform I want to delete, press the top button on my Wacom pen. Done.* I mapped the keyboard [Del] key to that button. So all I have to do, is with your tip, find those mistakes, select, and click. Done. Next one, see how much time you could save? I've been doing audio work for years, so I'm always on the look-out for the most efficient workflows possible! Hence why I got the clicker after seeing how useful it will be. Thanks!
I clap now, but I also use dynamic split with random color per item in Reaper - it saves some time. But I will get the clicker as clapping is uneven sometimes.
Pags2k6 I notice that when watching his videos, his face seems to constantly morph into different celebrities. Zach Galifanakis, Mark Hamill, Sean Astin, and I'm sure there are more.
Hey Mike! Love your videos! I have just recently started using Reaper and have found your videos to be invaluable. One issue I've always had is that I tend to make mouth noises and clicks when I record, sometimes even in the middle of a word. When using ProTools, I can really zoom in tight on the wave form, find, the click, and do a really precise edit to get rid of it. I have yet to figure out how to do that on Reaper. Is there something you'd suggest with Reaper? (Other than teaching myself not to do it in the first place!) what about adding in something like izotope? Thanks!
+Motus Productions Good question. I happen to use markers for something different in many of my projects -- marking dialogue spots for other actors working with my file. But it certainly *can* work. You do have to be very careful with markers as they don't always play nicely with certain edits which means they can end up in the wrong place as you edit long narration pieces.
Does anybody else agree that Audacity is probably the best software when it comes to speed in editing? I love using Audacity because it's like the people who made it knew exactly what settings people would need to use. I haven't adjusted anything except the compressor and normalizer. I don't record in Audacity unless it's to correct something and edit it really quickly to put it back out, but I always edit in Audacity.
I'm brand new and I TRIED to use REAPER...but I agree, Audicity is much more 'user friendly'. REAPER has more features and I know how to create an FX Chain to use as a default for all new projects (thanks to Booth Junkie), HOWEVER, I am going to switch back to Audacity and figure out the same process because I am just SUPER lost in REAPER, whereas I have used Audacity for about 6 hours and already feel at home.
This is a year-old comment, but I agree with you that using Audacity is easy. However, using EQ is a hunt-and-peck affair. For that, I use my old Adobe Soundbooth CS4, as well as for compression. Audacity's noise reduction is absolutely amazing. For making stereo tracks, fade-ins and outs, etc., Audacity is the program to use.
2:10 - you missed the mistake in the first sentence! :) nice idea though, I will suggest this to clients for sure (and probably pick up one or two myself)! Thanks for the video!
Ironic. Telling Mike that he missed something, which he didn't. While you yourself missed that he actually noticed the mistake, by not bothering to finish watching the video.
Seems like a Snapple cap would do fine 👌🏻
I'm editing the second season of an audio drama podcast right now. Before we started recording, my husband (our sound engineer) showed me this video. He thought this was a great idea, bought a dog clicker, and wanted to use it for recording. I thought it was great in theory, but horrible in practice. I didn't want our actors to feel that they were being treated like dogs, and that the snap sound in the headphones would be distracting or even painful for them. He talked it over with our director, we shared our concerns, and she tried it (with the caveat that only the director would use the clicker, to reduce confusion). After letting the performers make the inevitable puppy-training jokes, I have to admit, this is extremely helpful. The crisp snap of the clicker gave the actors structure, like the clap of a filmmaker's slate, and as I'm editing all this dialogue (it's going slowly but surely), having those pops on the sound file makes things SO MUCH EASIER.

Hearing these people in the process of making books is so cool!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. As a noob to VO and the enduring torture that editing can sometimes seem to be, thanks for sharing this way of speeding it up!
Listening you reading the book I would swear this is a TTS voice. Seriously, you have the exact formant of voice as the James US TTS voice. I love the click idea - good for other things like video etc... Clever!
Thank you sooooo much. I have pain for this problem for 1 year, spend lots of time to remove my mistake. It is a life saver. !
And the beauty of using a DAW like Reaper for recording and editing means that if you edit a mistake incorrectly you haven't destroyed your file, so you can always adjust those splits later.
Absolutely right Jeff. Non-destrictuve editing for the win! And for those viewers reading this, you should definitely subscribe to Jeff's channel. Great stuff over there!
Thanks, Mike!
If you have a stapler lying around at home you can take the pins out and it works too!
I really appreciated just seeing how you read the script in segments. So happy I found your channel.
This is best voice over hack I have ever come across. I literally use my clicker on every project. Takes the editing time on long form narration down drastically.

As someone with a speech impediment, this has made editing my Voice Over so much easier. You're a genius my good sir!
I don't like seeing him without a beard, this isn't right.
Yep. Some people just rock a beard. Including Mike.
Imagine how I feel... I just discovered this channel in just the last few months and have watched many of his videos and this is a first for me. Fun fact: I’ve heard him talk about his dog clicker but I’ve never seen the origin. Very cool. He doesn’t look much like modern Mark Hammel but once you get past the initial shock of beardlessness (real word), he’s not terrible to look at. 🤙

It is belated...but I just wanted to say how much I appreciated this video. It has saved me A TON of time editing, and is fantastic to use for audiobooks.

Great Video! Thanks for being transparent and sharing some of your "imperfect experiences". Learned a lot.
A very cheap clapperboard (the cool thing that helps with audio sync in movies) is what I use when recording podcast, but this Dog Clicker thing is more handy and easier to hold/use. Very nice ^^ Thanks for the tip!
LOL. The funny thing is a clicker is used to tell a dog what he did RIGHT.
Been watching the channel’s videos for months now and am tickled to finally see the origin of the clicker! (...and first time I’ve seen this beardlessness.. if that’s a word)
I use tongue clicks to mark out sections when recording answers for language learning tasks, but I might well pick up a dog clicker now.
Very clever for video interviews and podcasting too.
Oh my god, this is a great idea! I was just pondering this problem of editing long recordings last night.
Bad A$$! I can't wait to give it a shot!
I purchased this tool... and people it works like a charm! And just like the genius Mike said, it makes the clean up (editing) super fast! Thanks Mike!
I tried it out like few months even did it for a friend that wanted to edit my audio. Which she even thought it works. So you really helpd me from losing my mind cause re listion over and over on every single parts be annoying XD

Great, Great tip Mike!
Nice idea. But how do you know that the cut is clean if you don't listen it?
Sometime those cuts are audible if you cut a breath or so.
Thanks for sharing Mike. I guess it can also double as a trainer tool for yourself as you do not want to hear that sound, so you will do whatever you can to avoid it.
I know in WaveLab you can set any key function to Insert a mark in the file. Therefore there is no audible clicks, just markers to go back and look at. Same concept, just a different way of marking the waveform for later editing.
I like this much better than tapping my desk. I will have to obtain one for future projects. Thank you!
That actually is a good idea:D like that's why I hate editing my own audio. This could be alot helpful especially sense i do many mistakes XD
Great idea thank you. One idea I have been using is to stop speaking for 10 seconds and that then shows up in the recording, however, your idea is better (and I don't have a dog so it is all good). Thank you again.
Me: Now, get back in your kennel and record something amazing.
Dog: But. . . I don't know how?
Me: You're a talking dog. Figure it the fuck out.
Great idea. Gonna give it a try
Amazing tip. Thanks Mike. This will make life a million times.... Click click.... a ton easier 🤣
Yeah was about to buy a clicker but thought I'd try clapping - seems to work fine & better than finger snapping for an obvious visual reference
Interesting idea
I would advise anyone to use punch and roll for long form recording like audiobooks as we do in the studios. But whatever system you use, you should always listen back to EVERYTHING, to make sure there are no tiny errors or external sounds or anything else that you missed because you were understandably concentrating on your performance. Those won't be highlighted by a clicker, of course.
Hence why he says this helps in a *rough* edit. You still need to go over it completely.
I don't have enough words to thank you!
Excellent idea. This is a very helpful technique. Much thanks!

This was so helpful!!! I've just been clapping my hands, but that starts to hurt after a while and throws me off balance. Definitely going to pick up one of these dog clickers!
a nail clipper works just as good, if you were wondering
Brilliant!
Great idea, i've been recording voiceovers for quite a lot of years, but it never occurred to me, though it seems to be floating on the surface! Thank you)
My solution was just to make a pause longer than usual, so i could see it in the waveform, a couple of extra seconds is often enough
🤣 Excellent! It's a life changer 👍
I've watched so many of your videos and some podcast appearances. I even followed your advice while building my booth.
I have to say this was the first time I saw you without the beard.
Caught me off guard a little. LOL
Love your video's thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Loving it!
I would also assume there must be a key you can press on the keyboard to "mark" a mistake and have it stand out as a mark and not just a waveform?
I'm so happy i found your channel. Thank you
Genius
Oh my goodness.... thank you for this video you have made my life so much easier!!
I use the clapping technique but this is a great idea. If I was doing some recording for a long while my hands would probably fall off
Dude, you are my new hero.
This is amazing
+Juan Martinez THanks Juan!
I found this video and GODALMIGHTY seeing you without a beard is terrifying ;;;-;;;
But yeah! I've been doing that, but snapping my finger was what I used. Didn't always catch it, but this is much better!! Thanks :D
AMAZING TIP! Thank you! :-)
Greetings from Germany,

I have only made about 40 or so Audiobooks for other publishers, so I don't know if I am still considered a beginner ~ good stuff!
Hey, does the ripple edit still work like normal when doing the marker method?
Heve you ever tried a mic mute button ? So you can just edit the silence instead of searching for a specific point on the waveform to slice?
Fantastic
Oh gosh, this is brilliant! Great tip!!
Genius idea.
You convinced me on the clicker (ordered). I wanted to help out, try editing in Audition, this way in Reaper is just too time consuming, typing S, S then ripple edit...
Here's how I do it in audition..,
*Drag select the waveform I want to delete, press the top button on my Wacom pen. Done.*
I mapped the keyboard [Del] key to that button. So all I have to do, is with your tip, find those mistakes, select, and click. Done. Next one, see how much time you could save?

I clap now, but I also use dynamic split with random color per item in Reaper - it saves some time. But I will get the clicker as clapping is uneven sometimes.
Do you usually submit a completed chapter as you go? How long would it take to complete a book like what you're reading at your current skill level?
Thank you! Brilliant tip
This is Samweis Gamdee turning into Luke Skywalker!

Great tip
Thanks for this wonderful tip :)
Ball point pen click 😉
Amazing!
I just wanna do it!
sooo simple....wow
Wow! When you were a baby.
I just cough, but I'll try this, thanks Mike!!
You don't really wanna put extra stress on your voice if you're already doing multi-hour recording sessions.
He looks totally different than now lmao
Good stuff!
I didn't have money for a clicker though, so instead I just clap.
Living that student life.
Sir Ayme it's the same thing!
Even a lighter cd do!
Great video, but also have not found Reaper intuitive enough for this old school guy lol
Hey Mike! Love your videos! I have just recently started using Reaper and have found your videos to be invaluable. One issue I've always had is that I tend to make mouth noises and clicks when I record, sometimes even in the middle of a word.

Ken Giglio I use the waves x-click plugin and it works really well. sometimes the waves plugins go on sale in a bundle, that's hour I picked it up.
NEVER SHAVE AGAIN!
why not just put a marker directly in reaper?
+Motus Productions Good question. I happen to use markers for something different in many of my projects -- marking dialogue spots for other actors working with my file. But it certainly *can* work. You do have to be very careful with markers as they don't always play nicely with certain edits which means they can end up in the wrong place as you edit long narration pieces.
Sorry but punch and roll kicks the absolute crap out of saving time doing long form, in comparison to a clicker.
It's very good to know that this is a normal number of mistakes to make, haha!
wait.. what is your job?
Does anybody else agree that Audacity is probably the best software when it comes to speed in editing? I love using Audacity because it's like the people who made it knew exactly what settings people would need to use. I haven't adjusted anything except the compressor and normalizer. I don't record in Audacity unless it's to correct something and edit it really quickly to put it back out, but I always edit in Audacity.
I'm brand new and I TRIED to use REAPER...but I agree, Audicity is much more 'user friendly'. REAPER has more features and I know how to create an FX Chain to use as a default for all new projects (thanks to Booth Junkie), HOWEVER, I am going to switch back to Audacity and figure out the same process because I am just SUPER lost in REAPER, whereas I have used Audacity for about 6 hours and already feel at home.
This is a year-old comment, but I agree with you that using Audacity is easy. However, using EQ is a hunt-and-peck affair. For that, I use my old Adobe Soundbooth CS4, as well as for compression. Audacity's noise reduction is absolutely amazing. For making stereo tracks, fade-ins and outs, etc., Audacity is the program to use.
2:10 - you missed the mistake in the first sentence! :) nice idea though, I will suggest this to clients for sure (and probably pick up one or two myself)! Thanks for the video!
:) He caught that at around 4:30.
Ironic. Telling Mike that he missed something, which he didn't. While you yourself missed that he actually noticed the mistake, by not bothering to finish watching the video.
You can just snap your fingers and you don't need more ♥ but this is a great Video
But the very first line!!! You said “on March 2011” the text says “on March 2 2011”
Oh and you caught it 🤙😎
Did no one notice that he made a mistake on the first line, he read the date march 2011 not march 2, 2011...
Literally everyone noticed, and if you'd bothered to watch the video before commenting, you'd know why...
You do realize that you didn't even catch your first mistake, leaving out "second" from "On March 2, 2011..."
Great tip man! Going to purchase right now.
