Audio Recording

An audio recording will provide a sound file that can be integrated into visual presentations, saved as a podcast, or uploaded into your BlackBoard course. Our sound technicians work with you to help you record quality sound files in our sound-proof booth. The edited files are then burned to DVD or transferred to your thumb drive.

Audio recordings provide an oral presentation of hard-to-grasp concepts, address multiple learning styles, are used to accentuate pictorial content such as photos or diagrams, facilitate mobile learning due to small file size, and promote active engagement.

Ready to schedule a recording?

1. Three to four weeks advance notice
2. Review the Audio Recording Preparation Tip Sheet (PDF) 
3. Bring two copies of your script to the recording session (it’s best to avoid improvisation).
4. If you make a mistake during the recording, pause, say the word “again”, and repeat the sentence.
5. If recording audio for slides say the slide number prior to reading the slide script.
6. Allow at least one week for the technician to edit your recording; you will receive an email informing you that the CD, DVD, or files of your recording are ready for pick-up.
