These are the ways you could do it:-</div><div>1. Find a good microphone and record to a computer or use your mobile
phone if that is decent quality. If it is going to be longer than about 3 minutes then it is best done with 2 people.</div><div>If with 2 people then either get together in the same place or use use Google Hangout (with the Chrome browser as that works best). Use 'phones to listen to the Hangout but use the microphone to record. Sync the start time of recording at both ends and keep rolling, making a note of the places where things went wrong to assist in editing later. One person sends on their recording to the other for mixing/editing.</div><div><br></div><div>You could also visit an event and interview people. <br></div><div><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">2.
