Hi Christian
During recording, you really need some headroom, -6 to -12 dB levels are
fine even -18 is OK. You can then bring those levels up afterwards. I
assume you'll be recording at at least 44.1kHz at 24bit?
What do you mean by "Since I want the recordings to be balanced in volume"?
Some of this is down to the voice and how good they are. A non-professional
with little understanding of mic technique can be difficult to record as
they will move around and pull off the mic etc. If you're using a
professional voice then you'll have less trouble.
My advice would be to try and do some test recordings prior to the job. You
can then get a feel for mic positioning and the type of level coming in to
SF. I'd be happy to have a listen to these, please get in touch off-list.
All the best
Ian

Hi all,
I am going to do some voiceovers for a company and I'll be using Sound Forge
for recording.
Just want to hear some tips from you. Since I want the recordings to be
balanced in volume, then it is 0DB I suppose? Any tips when recording voice
for good levels so that it will not be too quiet or so?
Many thanks for any help,
Christian
