    Just today, I recorded a video to provide training and just uploaded it.

    What I didn’t realize was that five minutes in, my microphone picked up my sweet child screaming about how she stepped in cat vomit and now theres cat vomit all over the house.

    Yeah I’m not doing two takes and wtf microphone, why are you picking up sounds that far away?

    I’m preparing to be mocked once people watch that video.

      Meanwhile I’ve forgotten to turn off my music playing on speakers nearby my PC and apologized about my music once I realized only to get “what music?” in response. I’m not sure what sorcery went into this mic design, but it’s great!

      Edit: Also, use an audio editor to record that so you can splice different takes together. It allows you to get each part perfect rather than having to decide at some point that it’s good enough because you have to record the whole thing in one take.

      Power point has a slide record mode that lets you redo individual slides, too. It was essential when I had to get a presentation to fit into a 3 minute timeslot while I tend to ramble.
