Use pauses to your advantage: Pausing in the right places can also help emphasize points.
When planning your pauses, think not only of punctuating your delivery, but also of
taking breaths where they don’t disrupt your flow.
Gesture for effect: Use gestures carefully—the right gestures can make a show more
effective, the wrong gestures can be ineffective or distracting. This is not to suggest that
you should be statue-still except when you make a choreographed move; just be conscious
of your actions and find a balance of stillness and gestures.
Adjust recording settings
Before you record, turn the audio Output Volume down on the Setup tab so you don’t get
feedback from the speakers through the microphone.
Click Setup, and then select Audio.
Drag the Output Volume slider down to a medium or low level.
Hide the audio clipping indicator
By default, a microphone icon appears in the Output Monitor window if the audio you are
recording is too loud. That icon lets you know when to lower the recording level and try
again. If you aren’t concerned about clipping and find the icon visually distracting, however,
you can hide it.
Select Settings > Application Settings.
In the Preview Monitor Options section, deselect Enable Audio Level Clipping Indicator.
If you are not relying on audio cues for your dialog, click Mute to completely mute the
output for best results.
