Dear Sofia and Rachel
Especially in the acoustic conditions of schools, clinics, hospitals, health
centres and so on, typically with almost bare walls, very hard surfaces and
many rooms almost cubic (a bad combination for sound recording), you may
find that mic placement is something to bear in mind. There is what seems to
me some useful information here -
http://bartus.org/akustyk/mic_placement.php. If the mic is built in, the
child can pretend to be talking on a mobile. That should get the mic to
within about a centimetre from the lips and keep the mic placement
reasonably constant.
Dear Aubrey
Thank you for the advice, but even with the microphone right beside the
child's mouth the quality is not good on my recorder. I keep samples for
listening to expression rather than phonology - for that I would rather rely
on live samples.
Regards
Rachel
