Welcome to podcasting for solopreneurs, and FAQ Friday, where I answer a podcasting question in 5 minutes or less. Today's question is, should you edit out breaths from your podcast? This question is from doctor Natalie Amgott, host of the Let's Speak French podcast. Hey, Natalie. Thanks so much for listening. Honestly, before I was asked this question the first time a few years ago, I never even thought about this. Podcasters are human. Humans breathe. Why would you edit out breaths? But a lot of people have this question.
So my short answer is no. I don't recommend editing out breaths from your podcast in general. It can be strange and unsettling to hear speech without hearing some breathing. And even if you don't consciously recognize that it's weird and off, Your subconscious often recognizes that there's something not quite right with the situation. But as usual, I have more to say than just my simple answer. While breathing in podcasts is completely normal, we also don't want it to be overly loud and obnoxious. When it's subtle, we can easily and naturally tune out the breaths and focus on the content. But if it's too loud, then it can be distracting.
If this is the case for your podcast and that's the reason you're asking this question, usually adjusting your microphone technique will help. Try moving slightly further away and or angling the mic a bit to the side so that you're not breathing directly into it. Using a windscreen on top of your microphone can also help. Windscreens are really inexpensive, and you can find them on Amazon. If you have a medical condition that causes abnormally noisy breathing or absolutely cannot stand the sound of your breaths in your recording, you can remove them. My favorite tool to do this is auphonic.com. I'll leave a link for you in the description. They have a noise reduction section that has an option to remove breaths, and it works really well.
But for most podcasters, I recommend just leaving your breaths alone. Keep it simple and don't create extra work for yourself. If you have a podcasting question, click the send me your question link in the episode description, and I'll answer it in an upcoming episode. Until next time. Happy podcasting.
