Editing Your Recording

When you have completed your recording, you will need to spend some time editing it.

That may simply be cutting out some 'umms' and 'ahhs', or it could be removing a whole section of content that you don't want or it may be adding in some introductory music.

But one of the best for this purpose is not only easy to use but is also available free.

It's called Audacity and you can download it here:

The process of downloading and installing the software should be easy if you follow the step-by-step process provided.

Using it is just like cut and paste with words and can be learned quite quickly.

One of the secrets with audio is not to spend too much time perfecting it. Try to chop out mistakes and big pauses or problems but don't spend hours perfecting it.

Obviously if you prefer you can have a professional to do the work. If you want to do this, try a google search for audio editing or visit a freelance site such as elance.com and post details of your project.

Abbey's Advice
Take time to tidy up your recording but don't waste too much time trying to make it perfect.
