The voice seems fine, but the audio is awful. I am slightly hard of hearing, and trying to listen to what is actually being said would take away from the point of the lectures.

Maybe they can be salvaged with some post-processing where the voice is bumped up.

I'll keep that in mind. Given the interest, I'll make sure to get myself a professional grade microphone for future videos :)

Are you using a regular microphone? I would imagine that a decent one would do the job, but your current one makes it sound that you are shouting from the bathroom or something. :)

I think a cheap headset would do just fine. Sal Khan doesn't use anything expensive.

I don't hold the microphone to my mouth, but simply put it on my desk. That's to prevent it from picking up my "pops". I need to start using a pop filter.
