Shhh... Camtasia Studio Audio Trick

Sometimes when I narrate a screencast, I stumble over my words. OK, most of the time I do audio in a screencast, I mess up. :-) I was playing around with Camtasia Studio tonight and once again, I made a mistake on my audio. I was reminded of a quick audio trick I thought I'd share with you.
Whenever I make a mistake narrating my audio, I will often either tap the microphone or pause for a minute. That way when editing, I can quickly locate either spikes in the audio or dead time which signals to me where I need to edit my audio. It makes it a lot faster for me to locate the problem areas to edit.
Hope this helps you! See the screenshot below showing where I tapped the microphone to indicate to myself where I needed to start editing. The spikes in volume stand out on the audio track.
Do you have any quick tips to share about audio?

Yes I have madam :D
1. Do not Put your PC at the same place as your Microphone. In my case, I've got a Samson COU3 Podcast pack, and my pc is far far away from my desk..Very far !
2. Make some test before recording. I've done a video about Blender for a Friend.. The microphone wasn't turned on. So playing back can be fun and cool for avoiding mistakes.
This is my contribution, Hey Betsy, make a tutorial in French :P
