Recording Sounds with Hippie

Hippie is a very talkative cat. To prepare for running virtual programs, I've been making test recordings. I've tried a lot of different methods of recording sound. Sometimes I just use the built in microphone on my laptop or phone. But I also have headphone with a microphone and now an actual microphone that clips on to my shirt. But even with the microphones that are supposed to just pick up my voice, I can still hear him talking. He's just that loud!
