Simple things you can do that will help: Make sure you are in the quietest place you can be.  Turn off fans, A/C and other noise-producing things in your recording area. Soundproof behind you. Put a rug on the floor if you are in a room without carpet. Close curtains / blinds so the noise doesn’t echo off the windows. Get closer to the microphone and turn down the gain. You can boost it in post-production with something like auphonic. If you have a dynamic mic, use that instead of a condenser mic. Remember, a little bit of ‘ambiance’ doesn’t hurt sometimes.
