Saving an audio file in .wav format

Hello,

I'm writing a program to record audio and save it as a .wav file. I'm able to record and play the voice, however, while using the audiowrite function the audio is getting clipped. The range of my audio signal falls between -1 and 1. I will attach my code and the plot of the audio graph. Can someone help me as to how to save the audio clip. I also used the 'save' command, but the file is not playable by VLC, Windows media player, etc.

a= audiorecorder(8000,8,1);
disp('start speaking')
recordblocking(a,5);
disp('End of recording')
myrec= getaudiodata(a);
plot(myrec);

Can you please help me with the above code? I went through the links previously, but I was not able to figure out the solution.

Thanks

audiowrite('NameOfFile.wav', myrec, 8000)
