How to make a soundfile using Audacity

You will need:

A computer

A set of headphones with a microphone

A script

Here’s what you need to do…

1. Plug your headphones into the FRONT of your computer, making sure that you match the colours correctly.

2. Check that the sound levels are set correctly and that you have the “microphone” set properly

3. Open the Audacity program from the start menu

4. To record your voice click the RED record button. You know it’s recording because you see the blue sound waves on the screen

Save your work…

As usual go to FILE and then choose EXPORT AS MP3 and save your work on your documents

Now close the program – you don’t have to save the work again!

Voilà you have your soundfile!!
