Tips for Creating Audio Visual Resources

Audio Recording Top Tips

• Record in a quiet place without background noise.
• Speak with a slow clear voice.
• Find out preferred format e.g. CD, audio file, digital recording.
• Clearly label the recording including details of the recording and recording length.
• Make sure the recorded version matches with the print so people can use the two together if they wish.

DVD Recording Top Tips

• Record the DVD against a simple non distracting background.
• Look directly at the camera and read the text in a slow clear voice.
• Find out the preferred format of video e.g. DVD, file on a USB stick or posted to online on sites such as Bambuser.
• Clearly label the recording including details of the recording and recording length.

“Make sure everyone on the committee has information in the way they understand.”
