Recording Tips
- Set your second monitor up higher so you can see the slides and read the transcript off of your main computer (you will put it in presenter view and project the presentation to the second monitor)
- Small space to avoid echoing (some people choose to record in a closet)
- Carpets, things on the wall to absorb the sound and prevent echo
- Keep mic about 6 inches from your mouth
- Take a deep breath!
- If you need to restart a slide just stop and pause, clap twice and say restart slide, wait 10 seconds and restart. Our editors are AMAZING!
