How NOT to Edit Breaths on Podcasts (Proceed With Caution)

2 years ago

Breathing is part of speaking.

If you were to delete all of a person’s breaths between speaking, that would sound extremely unnatural.

Probably the only thing that sounds more unnatural than that is when you remove, let’s say, half of a breath. It will sound really weird.

So when you’re editing out pauses or “dead air,” be sure not to chop off parts of anyone’s breaths.

One cool exercise for you to do — listen to some pop songs and listen for the breaths of the lead vocalist — they are SO LOUD — but it sounds natural, and you didn’t even notice them before I pointed them out.
