Tricks and Tips:

  1. Don’t speak at the same time. When one finishes his/her words, start speaking after several seconds.
  2. Before Skype interview recording, do some tests of your Skype to make sure it works normally.
  3. Keep your room quiet to ensure no interruption for your voice.
  4. Adjust the web camera to make yourself in the center of screen.
  5. The recording process needs much CPU resources, so I would suggest you to close all unused programs to make your PC run faster.
  6. If you want to record both system and microphone sound, you may hear your own voice while recording, which cannot be resolved currently. However, you can follow the suggestions below to reduce the echo:
  • Lower your speaker volume.
  • You need to move your microphone further away from the speaker.
  • Use a pair of headset with microphone, rather than microphone built in laptop, for laptop microphone and speakers are fixed too close, which usually cause echo and feedback.
