Poets seeking to record accompanying audio readings have a variety of options. For simplicity, using Reverb (via their free website or app) may be the easiest—simply record and send us a link. They have a brief walkthrough here.

• In short: Click record > Create account > Edit / Send link

Options:

• Smartphones (via websites or apps)
• Computers (via website, software, and/or equipment)
• Equipment (professional microphone, pop filters, etc.)
• Editing (audio adjustments, trimming, etc.)

General guides:

• Record only your poetry (no intros or outros)
• Be in a silent room (no background noise)
• Avoid rustling papers
• Don't be too close / far away
• Practice! 

When done:

• File format: an .mp3 file or direct link
• Attach file to your poem's Submittable messages!
