I also adjusted the set up so that the microphone was covered by a pop guard , this eliminates the chance of any feedback being received on words which have 'P' or 'D' sounds in them as those are generally the words which present the most problems. By sitting the voice actor close to the microphone I was maximising my chances of getting usable audio for my short film as if he was too far away or too close there may be muffling or quietness when the soundtrack was exported from garage band and into Adobe Audition.
Having started recording on Garage band , the script was read in time to the visuals as the recording of sound was one of the last elements for my audio visual product - I had the video playing through the Mac , however had to use the external volume controls to ensure the audio from the footage wasn't leaking into the voice recording of the narrator. I made this mistake and then had to rectify it by re recording a section of the audio . By muting the video the voice actor was able to read from the script with the additional support of the visuals , this helped us time when the recordings should start and finish which was helpful in post production and editing the sound to the video.
