This is all thanks to something called the proximity effect. When you get closer to the mic, your voice becomes richer with more bass, which can add warmth and depth to your sound. On the flip side, increasing the distance will give you a more natural and balanced tone. Here’s the trick: If you want that deep, radio-style voice, try getting just 2 inches from the mic. But if you’re after a more conversational, natural sound, stay about 6 inches away. And if you’re really looking to impress, you can even adjust your distance on the fly—move closer when you’re speaking softly and pull back when you get louder. This small adjustment can give you a surprising amount of control over your audio’s tone. Give it a try in your next recording session and see how it transforms your sound! ​Watch our video: [Must-Know Audio Tips for Podcasters, Streamers, and Creators](=)​ for more insights.
