I'm excited to have you as a guest on the Earmark Accounting Podcast!

If you’ve listened to a lot of podcasts that feature a guest interview, you probably already know that guest audio quality can vary quite a bit from person to person, depending on recording environment, equipment and plenty of other factors.

To ensure you sound your best during our interview, I've prepared some tips and best practices that will ensure the highest recording quality for your voice. Please spend a few minutes carefully reading over the following tips about preparing your environment and computer.

Let me know if you'd like to schedule a 15-minute "pre-interview" session to touch base and make sure you're comfortable with the technology.

Before we record

Please review these instructions:

Instructions For Guests

On the day of recording

Close unnecessary programs & tabs

Before you log into Zencastr, please take a moment to close down all programs running on your computer or other Internet tabs open on your browser. Please also disable notifications on your computer, and if your cell phone is in the room, please silence all alerts.

Allow access to your microphone

You will be prompted to allow access to your microphone in the upper left hand side of your screen — please do this. If you are using Firefox, please select the “Always Allow” option. This will then make it possible for you to make audio input/output selections from inside Zencastr.

Wear headphones or earbuds

If possible, please wear headphones or earbuds while we record and keep the volume on them low while still being able to comfortably hear. Headphones help prevent audio feedback and ringing.

If you have one available, an external microphone (like a USB-mic or a headset with a mic) is encouraged, and will make your voice quality sound fantastic.

Earbuds with a built in microphone work as well, but if you use this combo, please be careful that the cord and microphone do not brush against your shirt.

Set up in a quiet, comfortable space
