3. Write!
Use your research to write the script for your audio tour. Remember, in your script, you need to guide the visitor where to look or what to listen for, for example, 'Look down, you might notice a trail of ants marching along. They’re the clean-up crew of the woodland', or ‘If you keep walking forward you may see a huge Forest Red Gum!’
You can use this space to write your script?
4. Record!
Use sound recording equipment (this could be as simple as a phone) to record your audio commentary. Play back your recordings and try to follow along as a visitor using the Virtual Woodland Wander.
5. Share!
