Audio for Language Tutors
Updated October 2026
A language lesson lives on clear pronunciation. A steady voice, a close mic and short, well-separated clips help a learner hear every sound, and a light cleanup keeps the audio natural.
The short version
- Record model pronunciation close and steady, at a slightly slower pace.
- Keep clips short and separate them, so learners can repeat each one.
- Clean gently; over-processing can blur the sounds learners need.
- Export at a loudness that works on a phone.
Clear model speech
A close mic in a quiet room, a steady pace and clear word endings give learners a good model. Speak slightly more slowly than normal, without distorting the sounds.
Short clips
Record each phrase as its own clip, with a short pause before and after. Learners can repeat each one and replay it.
Cleanup
Clean the room noise gently. Blurred consonants and vowels defeat the purpose of a model recording, so keep the cleanup light. The pronunciation recording guide covers the learner side.
Clear models, light cleanup
