THE VIDEO LIBRARY
REAPER and Audacity are alternative ways to record. Pick the one you use. Scrivener references are for writers preparing scripts; performers do not need to own it.
Booth Junkie
Booth Junkie starts with the space around the microphone. A useful place to begin when your voice sounds distant or roomy.
Any recording app
Listen for reflections before buying more equipment. Soft furnishings can help reflections; they do not soundproof a room.

Understand direct monitoring before changing settings at random to chase a delayed headphone signal.
REAPER · interface controls vary
Monitoring options depend on your interface. Hearing both direct and software monitoring can create a doubled sound.

Booth Junkie and Acoustics Insider discuss treatment for a voiceover space, beyond simply surrounding a mic with foam.

Source & context ↗Keep the original. Save an untouched take before cleanup or processing.
Use the written spec. The default is mono, 48 kHz / 24-bit PCM WAV, without baked-in effects. Your written project brief takes priority.
Export an audio file. A REAPER or Audacity project is useful for editing; it is not the same thing as the WAV someone needs to play.
Keep the performance intact. A breath or pause can belong to the scene. Cleaner does not always mean better.
WHEN YOUR SCREEN LOOKS DIFFERENT
Some videos use earlier releases. Check the current documentation when a control has moved. For Scrivener, choose the Mac or Windows version you use.
