Recording guide

Five-minute recording setup

This is about recording your practitioner perspective for Rezolva. You do not need professional equipment — a recent laptop or phone in a quiet room is entirely sufficient.

  1. 1

    Find somewhere quiet

    Close doors and windows and silence notifications. A quiet room does more for quality than any equipment.

  2. 2

    Put your camera at eye level

    A laptop resting on several books is perfectly acceptable.

  3. 3

    Face the light

    A window in front of you usually works better than one behind you.

  4. 4

    Frame yourself naturally

    Show your head and upper torso, with modest space above your head. Landscape orientation where practical.

  5. 5

    Look toward the camera

    Imagine you are speaking to another experienced practitioner sitting opposite you.

  6. 6

    Speak naturally

    There is no need to read a prepared speech. The project is interested in how you actually think about the question.

  7. 7

    Take your time

    You can watch each take back and re-record as often as you like. Only the take you choose becomes your submitted contribution. Takes you reject are deleted, and temporary unsubmitted recordings are removed under Rezolva's temporary-media retention process, so they never form part of the project collection.
