There's a lot of people who will say, don't ever wear your headphones.
So today I wanna talk to you about headphones.
I wear headphones in my booth, and the reason why is a long time ago, when I had a new booth built in a new house, I had a lot of construction going on around me, a lot of building. For me, there was no other way for me to be able to hear if that noise outside was going to affect my recording unless I had my headphones on, because it would be very either low, uh, frequency, uh, drilling, it might be a truck a mile down the road, but I would not be able to hear that until I actually had my headphones on. The other reason also was that my computer happened to be outside of my booth. So if I press -- I would press record and hop in my booth and not be able to necessarily see at the time, uh, the recording levels. I made sure my lev- els were all good, and I knew my place, where to stand in the booth and where my, uh, where I should be in relation to the mic. So I had that all set up. And so I would press record and go on my booth, and then I had my headphones on.
Do your headphones hurt you or help you when you're reading for voiceover? Should you wear them or discard them? Anne gives you the definitive answer.
