Please upload an audio recording of your poem in .mp3 or .m4a format by Friday, May 9 at 11:59pm.

Please read the following pointers before you record your poem:

• Smaller, more enclosed spaces with soft materials will help absorb sound. (Closets are great for this!) Avoid spaces with lots of hard surfaces. Bathrooms are not ideal. 
• Minimize background noise, such as fans and windows. Turn on airplane mode or Do Not Disturb to avoid notifications disrupting the recording. 
• Place the microphone of the recording device 6-12 inches from your mouth. During playback, if there are a lot of pops (especially on plosives) try adjusting the mic slightly higher or lower than your mouth. If holding the mic by hand, try to keep a steady distance as movement may cause the volume to waver while listening.
• Speak clearly and steadily. Multiple takes or practice reads can be useful to find your desired cadence.
• Listen back to the recording to make sure everything flows the way you intended. Happy reading!
