Getting Started with Your Audio Book Recommendation
You might write down what you wish to say. Start with a brief introduction, including your name and where you're from. You could read from your notes or speak extemporaneously, taking care to do so in a calm voice. Please keep your comments to no more than a minute.
Three notes on preparing your text:
Time goes quickly. It will be hard to get everything in, so focus on one or two points you want to share. You won't be able to cover all your thoughts and questions in a minute-long audio.
Perfection is the enemy of good. Don't worry about messing up! Feel free to make several draft recordings.
Thank you for participating in this experiment in sharing book recommendations for Nature Book Guide
