Hi, it's Renee.

The Center for Teaching and Learning would

like to offer some lecture recording tips,

audio matters and remote zoom recordings.

We really want to get the best sound

possible. The input you use matters.

Try ear buds with microphone, Airpods,

a USB headset or a microphone.

You can borrow a CTL loaner

microphone for best results.

We have Yeti microphones and they

are available for use at the CTL

rowhouse test the equipment beforehand.

And if you need help,

the audio producers will walk you

through setting up the microphone,

the zoom recording session starts

with an invite and a zoom link.

The final product you're recording

is an aerated PowerPoint,

but retakes in the audio are fine,

even encouraged.

Use the time during your two hour recording

session to work with the audio producer.

They may ask you questions about sources,

slides, titles,

or sections for best results.

You'll share your screen with your

PowerPoint during the session.

And that way you can move through

the lecture at your own pace,

afew tips about delivery from the team.

We want you to be comfortable.

Write a script if you want to.

You can put it in the notes

section of the PowerPoint file.

No one's going to see it in the

finished product or write an outline.

Practice, practice, practice.

It always helps, just so that you feel

comfortable before your recording.

Think about your audience,

what's important to them?

Who are you really talking to?

We want it to feel like an intimate

personal experience for the learners.

Focus on meaningful content.

What are you really trying

to say in this lecture?

But be personal and authentic

in your presentation.

You're the expert and the

learners want to hear from you.

If your lecture has illustrations,

tables, graphs and Maps,

we want you to be the guide share with

your learners why the material you've

included in the presentation is important,

and remember to add sources

and citations for the images

you've included in your lecture.

In summary,

take the time to prepare.

And work with the ETL team and the

resources available to get the most

out of your scheduled audio recording.

We want your lecture to be

the very best it can be.

We hope these tips have helped.

Thanks.

We look forward to working with you soon.
