Recommendations for Recording - Tips for Good Sound

Recording directly from your laptop may result in poor audio, so we recommend a digital recording device or your smartphone as the best option.

Find a reasonably quiet spot like your office/study. If you need a retreat, your bedroom or bathroom will do just as well.
If you have a pair of earbuds with a mic built-in (like the one you have for hands-free phone calls), you can definitely use those for recording and it’ll sound great. If you are going to use the internal microphone on your phone, just make sure that you have the phone microphone about 8 inches or so away from you and record at your normal voice level.
If you make a mistake and don’t have the ability to edit your recording, you can send the audio to us as is with a few small mistakes. If there are more than a few small mistakes, we recommend redoing the recording so your segment of the podcast is the best it can be.
Begin your recording by introducing yourself: Your Name, Your Tribe, It’s Location, and/or Other Organisation Affiliation
