Could You Record Podcasts?

Dear Friends,

I am seeking another 30 or so volunteers to record the Daily Devotions we send out each day and material for the services we send out each week.  We already have around 30 volunteers who record for us and I’d like to have a few more – might you be interested?

Most devotions – the reading, reflection and prayer – come in around 5 minutes in length.  Prayers and readings for services will be shorter than that.  Each month we record the Daily Devotions and service material ahead of time (currently we’re recording October’s and November’s material).  Volunteers gain access to a Google Document online, pop their name against the item they agree to record, record it and email back to me.  We hope to have enough volunteers to that you might only have to record one devotion and one prayer a month so the task shouldn’t be too onerous.  We normally ask people to send the recording back within a week but sometimes it’s a shorter turn around of just a few days.

You would need to have a phone, tablet, or computer, with microphone, which you are confident enough to use to make a recording on and able to email it back to me.  Most smart phones have an app on allowing recording.  You’d need sit somewhere quiet to record, not breathe into the microphone, and speak at a steady pace.  We can send further instructions to those who volunteer.  I maintain a separate mailing list for volunteers who wish to record. 

It might be you’d like to have a go before committing, it might be you know what you’re doing and are ready to go, it might be this isn’t for you – if that’s so don’t worry!  I hope to recruit around another 30 people which from a mailing list of 4,000 shouldn’t be too hard.  So, if you think you might be interested please drop me an email and I’ll send you material to record!

With every good wish

Andy
