Tips and Prompts for Audio

Write down what you want to say.

Things to consider including in your audio clip:

  • Your name
  • Your county
  • Your 4-H project
  • Details about your project
  • Describe to the viewer what you are doing in the picture
  • "My favorite part is..."
  • "I like..."
  • "I have learned..."

Once you have your transcript, practice reading it aloud several times before you record.

Most mobile devices, tablets, and computers have a recorder that will save a .WAV or .M4A file.
