To make a better recording, speak normally. You’ll know you’ve got a good recording level if you can see peaks and valleys in the computer image of your voice as it's recording. If you see a solid bar, you may be too loud or too close to your computer’s mic. If you make a mistake just hit Start over and try again.
We choose SoundCloud because it's the ultimate in freedom for you. Say as much as you want: it's for background only. We'll ask your permission if we want to broadcast what you said.
