into the WOODS

So writing the news report is done but the job is still half-done because after the copy editor edits your report, you have to record it and with the tips discussed from my previous classes and personal tips from the people working in DYHP, the experience was scary and enlightening, but during the first time, much of it was pure tension.
One word from one of tenured news reporter was that “the most important thing is to make your script clear. What is the story? Tell it as clearly as you can. If you get stuck trying to think of the words, just imagine what you would say to your best mate to explain the story and that I should just be myself, use my own words and my own language. As I recall and check on my previous notes from my broadcasting classes, one should hold the microphone firmly in the middle and rest your arm on a chair or table if you are recording a lengthy interview. One should speak directly into the microphone while holding it 10 to 15 cm away from your mouth and point the microphone directly at the person you are interviewing to capture their answers and point the microphone at yourself while you are asking questions. You should swap the microphone between your hands if your arms start to get tired and wrap the microphone lead around the hand which is holding the microphone to keep it steady.
In recording news, it varies, but I believe we should sound credible and not boring at that and finally, think carefully about how are you going to finish your piece. Perhaps you could leave the listener with a question or something to think about. Don't forget, it's the last thing they will hear, so make it memorable.
