i'm trying to record vocals (not mine) just like i hear in
commercially-released audio books. currently, when i record narration
or singing without much music accompaniment, i hear mouth sounds,
e.g., smacks, pops, glottals, etc. i don't hear those annoyances in
audio books, so there must be something in the audio chain that i'm
missing. here's my chain. what do i need?

How about a glass of water? Having the talent avoid dairy can also
help. You'll probably still have to cut out a little of this unless
you're dealing with a real pro, but you can certainly help out a non-pro
with a little water.

Best of luck,

Non-pros usually dry up under the pressure of being on mic. Water can
help....sometimes.

Then there's

Talented performers who are chosen because they have a minimum of unwanted
mouth sounds

Post production that edited them out

Clever use of an expander or gate to minimize the noises during recording.

A combination of some or all of the above help a lot.
