Digital Voice Recording: Easy, Breezy.

WATCH VIDEO:  StarSpeaking Minute

Did you know that you can purchase a headset with a microphone for as little as twenty dollars?  You can use the equipment to record your voice, reading a script, as I’m doing now.  For easier reading, use larger fonts and double spacing for your script format.   

Begin by clicking the START icon on the desktop.  In the search menu, type in: SOUND RECORDER.  Click on the microphone icon and drag it to your desktop for future use.

Double click the microphone and a simulated recording icon appears.   Plug the headset into your computer. Situate your script, get comfortable and begin recording.   Save the recording as either a WAV, MP3, MP4, or by using a file extension of your choice.

Finally, listen to your recording.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised by your own voice attributes. You can record until the sound byte meets your approval.
