How Do You Record A Phone Interview?
Journalists, podcasters, researchers and others often need to interview experts and guests for broadcast or print interviews. These interviews can be recorded in a number of ways. Internet-savvy podcasters may feel comfortable to use audio software or record Skype to Skype calls, while old-fashioned print journalists still rely on cassette tape recorders. Here’s a rundown of phone interview recording techniques. Compose a list of questions that you will record. The more prepared you are, the easier the interview and the recording process will be. Write down more questions than you think you’ll need. If the interview goes well, you will use all the questions. Record with Skype if you’re doing a long-distance interview. Call the other party using your SkypeOut account and record the interview using a service like Hotrecorder.com or Stepvoice.com.
