Tips for Better Recording
When your kids hear you reading to them, you
obviously want them to hear your voice as
clearly as possible, instead of sounding as if you
were talking into a tin can. So follow these tips,
and they should hear you loud and clear:
• Speak slowly and distinctly. Most people
talk too quickly when they record audio.
Remember, this isn’t a race; it’s something
you want your kids to enjoy.
• Practice reading each page a few times
before recording it.
That way, you’ll learn
what words and syllables to emphasize, and
what kind of emotion you want to put into
your voice.
•
Make sure there’s as little background
noise as possible.
Car horns and emergency
sirens don’t make for the most pleasant
listening experience.
• Hold your NOOK between a foot and a
foot and a half from your face.
That’s the
optimum distance so that your voice will be
recorded clearly with no distortion.
• Don’t cover the microphone with your
fingers.
The microphone is a small hole on
the upper-right side of the NOOK, to the left
of the sound jack. If you cover it up, your
voice won’t be heard.
