Mask – using sound to cover a bad edits or to smooth a transitions
Mastering - the process of preparing and transferring an edited and mixed audio file from which all copies will be produced
Mic fright – the fear of talking in an audio or video situation
Mic level – the volume of the microphone input channel
Microdynamics - the difference between the loudest moments and the quietest moments over a short timeframe, usually referring to transients
Microphone – the device which picks up sound and turns it into electrical energy so it can be broadcast or recorded
Mix - to combine several audio sources into a single finished piece
Mixed audio – see ‘dry’ audio
Mixer – the equipment that allows various inputs of audio or video to be broadcast or recorded at different times and levels
Modal voice- your usual speaking voice
Monaural (or ‘mono’) - sound on one, single channel, that is, not stereo
Monitor speaker (or ‘loudspeakers’ or simply ‘speakers’) – used to hear studio or playback output
Monotone – when a person talks with little or no variety in their pitch, volume, and speed
Montage - several pieces of audio combined sequentially to create a single sound element
Monthly retainer - an agreement in which the voice-over is paid a set amount each month for ongoing work, based on the average amount of recording minutes or scripts per month
Mouth axis – the direction of your mouth in relation to the microphone: ‘slightly off axis would mean that you are not speaking towards the mic and so you will be heard slightly indistinctly
Music bed (or simply ‘bed’) - music played underneath a voice
Mute button – the manual switch which significantly quietens an audio feed, maybe completely. This is automatically activated on studio loudspeakers when the microphone goes live, to avoid feedback
