When recording voiceovers or audio for my website, what's the best way to capture quality sound?

Your smartphone is excellent for this—especially newer iPhones, which have great built-in recording quality. Use wired earbuds with a microphone (the kind that plug into your phone) for the best results, as they position the mic close to your mouth. If you have a dedicated wireless lavalier mic, that’s even better. Find a quiet room, use your phone’s built-in voice memo app, hit record, and speak naturally. The quality will be more than sufficient, and the file is easy to download and share.
