Recording at home requires some special strategies. Your bedroom, office, and living room are not acoustically designed for recording, and if you don’t do anything to adjust the sound, you won’t be happy in the long run with the recordings you create. You can do things to mitigate that with your mic placement, but it’s a good idea to create some kind of specialized space.
This could include building a blanket fort, clearing a space between clothes in your closet, or just putting pillows all around you as you record. You could even record in your (turned off) car! Planning should also include turning off the A/C or heat, staying away from loud appliances you’ve stopped noticing (refrigerator, notably) and communicating clearly your scheduled recording with other people in your space.
Luckily, on many fronts the public radio community is way ahead of you. In this article from 2013, radio producer Yowei Shaw writes about various strategies for getting a nice intimate vocal sound at home. Radio reporters regularly file stories on the road, and have often described recording under hotel room blankets. When more reporters started working from home this spring, they took advantage of their road tricks to record from their own homes.
