Sound advice

Kristine King took her recorder out in the field and gives an excellent account of the experience on her blog. She is already putting into practice some of the sound advice we received last night from Jon Greenberg.

Tips that stand out in my mind:

1. Remember not to interrupt your interview subject with um hmms;
2. Jot down highlights from memory before reviewing your recording;
3. Maintain momentum by staying focused;
4. Beware of environmental background noise;
5. Record a separate track of environmental sound to edit into your piece.

Also please review his excellent interviewing tips.

Please let me know immediately if you experience technical or equipment problems.
