- For others of you that have never recorded audio before, the quality of the audio is quite important. And/or check out this tip sheet from the ABC. Also consider introducing yourself and the title of your presentation at the start of the audio to set the scene.
- Transcript for Accessibility: Aside from ensuring good audio quality with as little background sound as possible, we encourage providing transcripts.
