- Step 3

Pro tips
Voice close to the mic
Quality radio voice records 4 inches from the mic, in a textile-rich room to absorb echo.
Music under the voice
Set music 6-10 dB below the voice so it's present without covering the message.
Think frequency
A jingle heard 50 times a day must stay pleasant. Avoid harsh or shrill sounds.
Respect the rights
For FM broadcast, declare your jingles to your local rights organization or use royalty-free music.
