Usually "transcribe" means writing down or typing out what you hear. eg you were busy transcribing a Joe Rogan podcast last night. It goes from audio to printed form, not the other way around. You wouldn't say that the prime minister is "transcribing" the teleprompter during his speech.
You know you'll have to read what you wrote, right? I suggest keeping a glass of water, throat lozenges handy - cause you'll be doing a lot of talking. You don't want to sound parched half way through.
You will want a sponge or screen for your microphone. The sponge/screen acts like a filter for those unwanted popping sounds by blocking excessive air coming from plosives especially bilabial plosives.
Use contractions as often as possible as you often do in conversations with other people. Unless when you want to stress something, then don't use contractions. Bypass the contractive form and use vibrato and cadence in your speech to punctuate the importance of what you are saying. eg "The Irish king should
not have crossed the leprechauns."
Don't just read what you wrote. Know what you are saying when you are saying it at every given moment. Be wrapped up in the story you are telling. If not it will sound monotonous, just a bland recital of words.
