In this interview we get to learn more about the work done by a tutor working on Develop’s Children in Need project. The Children in Need project is a 9 session course called “Like It, Live It”. It is funded by Children in Need and is run by Develop EBP. The course helps young people develop their confidence, team working skills and mental wellbeing.
Techie stuff: Just like episode one, this interview was recorded using just a Zoom H4N handy recorder. No external microphones were used; only the Zoom’s internal mic was used. The Zoom was rested on a little chunk of foam beside myself and Yvonne. We were both sitting around 50cm from the Zoom’s mic. No headphones were used by either myself or Yvonne to listen to ourselves as we recorded.
The interview took place in a medium-sized room and a colleague was present in the room quietly trying to get on with her work and tidy up this classroom. You do occasionally hear these background noises and sometimes they are surprisingly sharp and loud – such as when some pencils are put down on a table. The room is also next to a road and there are traffic noises. These are distracting but I still feel that you are able to hear what Yvonne has to say clearly throughout the recording.
From the interview-skills side of this piece I did not waffle quite as much with my questions and Yvonne did the majority of the talking; as it should be.
This episode was recorded on the same day as episode one and so I had not yet fully appreciated just how much of an effect ambient noises have in recordings.
As in episode one, I did a little editing in Audacity and used the Levelator software to finish off the final project. While in Audacity the project is made up of seven audio clips. When this is project is saved as a wav and listened to, you notice the different audio levels between the clips. After using the Levelator these differences become harder to notice.
