1. A method in an electronic device including a plurality of microphones, the method comprising:
- receiving an input for selecting a voice recording mode among a plurality of voice recording modes, wherein each of the plurality of voice recording modes respectively corresponds to at least one voice beamforming direction determined based on a number of at least one sound source and a location of each of the at least one sound source;
controlling a microphone array based on the at least one voice beamforming direction corresponding to the selected voice recording mode, wherein the microphone array includes the plurality of microphones;
recording at least one sound signal by using the controlled microphone array; and
displaying a visual effect for indicating that the at least one sound signal is being recorded based on the at least one voice beamforming direction.
