When you plan to record a voice dataset to be used for a TTS model training you should check these tipps and tricks:

• Use a good microphone and a quiet recording room setup (no computers fans, air conditioning, ...)
• Use a text corpus with cleaned numbers/abbreviations and good phoneme coverage
• Read neutral, but with a natural speech flow and do not swallow up letters
• Adjust tone and pitch with punctuations
• Use a constant recording speed
• Check your recordings regularly in high volume for background noise
• Make breaks regualarly and do not record more than four hours a day
• Record error free
