Narrating your eLearning is about more than just delivering information, it's about engaging your learners. To get the most out of your time narrating, you need to make sure you're focused on the things that will improve the conversationality of your narration and connect your learner to the message and intent of your e-learning project.

Home Studio Setup with Neil Zielsdorf

This episode is a change of format for DIY Narrator! In this episode, I'm joined by Neil Zielsdorf.

Neil is an Instructional Designer for Amazon who has recently moved into a new house. As a result, he's been incrementally setting up a room in his home to be his new workspace for recording eLearning narration and videos over a green screen.

We had a great discussion about sound reflections (echo), acoustic treatment, and attempting to keep the sounds of a household out of your space.

In this conversation, we cover a number of approaches you can take to improving the acoustic quality of a room. Everything from bass traps, acoustic foam, and moving blankets to DIY acoustic panels and weatherstripping.

As an added bonus, we had a quick conversation about VR and AR as well as how voice over fits into that format a bit differently than your typical eLearning narration.

If you want to get in touch with Neil, you can reach him on LinkedIn.
