Thank you Melanie, stick with it. It gets easier the more you do. Don't expect perfection at the first attempt. The hardest part is getting something down. Once you start, you can improve with each edit. Likewise the recording, be prepared to have many attempts before they start to sound and feel natural. You can always erase the ones you don't like.]]> In reply to Melanie Donaldson.

It might seem like a lot of work, but bear in mind I did it in stages. If you break it down, it's much less daunting. I only felt rushed because I decided to do the audios nearer the deadline than I would advise. If I'd thought about them when I started planning the exhibition, they would have been more manageable. Also, the first few recordings are the hardest, as you have so much to remember. Don't feel it needs to be perfect. The more you do, the easier they become.]]> In reply to Eve Jacobs-Carnahan.

It is something I have considered and now I have some insight into what might be involved. (A lot of work!)

Always interesting to hear about process and how things have developed artistically and career-wise. I had got a bit stuck with Magnetic You (it's harder to do than you'd think!) but this has inspired me to jump in again and see what words, etc I can discover, and hopefully find new direction in my work too. I look forward to hearing more podcasts (would hate to speak on one myself, but love listening to them, lol!)]]> The podcast sounded fine to me on my laptop in the UK 😊 This is the second interview by Alyson I’ve listened to – I love that you show genuine interest and give your interviewees time to talk.

I just listened to the podcast on my phone and had no problems. The podcast sounded crystal clear and I had no problem understanding Cathy’s English accent. Perhaps the interview sounds different on different devices. Well done Cathy and what a great idea creating audio. It is something I had thought of too but did not even know where to begin. Wishing you the very best of success from New Zealand. Thank you Alyson for a wonderful interview I greatly enjoyed.

Thanks for trying, Colette. I wish I could control the audio of all my guests, but it isn't possible. Hopefully the timestamps help you find sections that might be useful.]]> In reply to Colette Dionne.
