Image taken from: Woices

The time has come to use the information you gathered in the last activity. You are going to record
and publish an audioguide using Woices.
Don’t forget that the way you express yourselves is very important because everything will be recorded.
You even have to be careful with your body language because although it won’t be seen, your movements will be recorded.
Remember that the the information is directed at tourists or people from other areas. They won’t understand
local words or expressions so be careful not to use them.
Talk slowly and clearly. Make a final check of the recording by listening carefully and make any necessary
changes.
Remember: you need a microphone for this activity. |
ACTIVITY
With the script prepared, the speakers are now ready for action. You need to read the text aloud several times until it’s
familiar and you can express the ideas with the correct intonation.
Before recording, remember what a good speaker should not do:
-
Speak too quickly.
-
Not respect punctuation, commas, full-stops, question and exclamtion marks, etc.
-
Be monotonous and inexpressive.
-
Transmit no feelings (happiness, sadness, surprise, etc.).
-
Read in a false and exaggerated way.
Before you record your section you need to rehearse including special effects: voices, sounds, music, etc.
Record your script with the program Woices (
http://woices.com) and place it
on the map.
Woices is a free Internet service which allows us to create, listen and share oral information about
