Tips for Recording a Teleseminar
or Conference Call
 ecording
teleseminars and conference calls is nothing new. However, what if you
decide to use the recording as a marketing tool, say as audio on your
website?
Here are 5 tips that will make your recording sound better and not
require as much or any editing:
- Encourage all attendees to use wired phones, not cordless.
Cordless phones work on radio frequencies, which are subject to
interference from outside sources like radios, TV's, police radios
and conversations from other cordless phones.
- Cell phones are less than ideal in a teleconferencing situation,
especially when you’re recording for future use. We'd all agree that
cell phones are convenient, but dropouts and lost calls happen at
the most inopportune moments.
- Avoid the speakerphone. This feature allows you mobility to do
other things, but it’s not a good idea to participate in a
teleconference this way. Keep in mind that on a telephone, quality
is lost to begin with. Couple that with an attendee on a
speakerphone, which produces a “fish bowl” effect. And then there’s
background noise; how many times have you heard a dog barking or a
baby crying?
- Think quiet. Try to be in a room that is away from sources of
noise like TV's, dogs, kids, music, etc. Going outside may seem the
solution, but traffic makes more noise than you may think.
- Be familiar with the mute feature. Attendees should use this
until they’re ready to participate. This further helps to avoid
unnecessary noise. Many host companies offer a mute feature that is
activated by pressing a certain number on your keypad, so be sure to
ask.
