Tips for Self-Recording
Best Camera Placement
• Position the iPad or camera horizontally (landscape).
• Place it at eye level if possible (use a tripod or stack of books).
• Stand 6–8 feet from the camera so you’re framed from about mid-thigh or knees up. This allows natural movement without being too far away.
• Make sure there’s plenty of light on your face (a window or lamp in front of you, not behind you).

Best Music Placement
If you’re using a speaker:
• Place the speaker 3–6 feet behind the iPad/camera (so it’s closer to the camera than to you).
• Stand 6–8 feet behind the iPad, facing it.
• The order is Speaker → iPad → You
This setup helps the iPad microphone prioritize your voice while still picking up the accompaniment clearly.

Volume
• Keep the accompaniment just loud enough for pitch and tempo.
• If you have to raise your voice to hear yourself, it’s too loud.
• Do a short test recording and make sure your voice is at least twice as prominent as the music.

If You’re Using Bluetooth
Avoid it if possible. Bluetooth speakers can introduce a slight delay. A wired speaker or a second device (another phone, tablet, or laptop) playing the track is usually more reliable.
