Recording Plan
I plan to record my narration in my room as it is a quiet area and using my Air pods for better mic quality. For the actual final product, I plan to incorporate sounds in my local gym that I go to for sound effects (these will be incorporated in the silence as a transition. I will use the Voice Memos app to record my narration and gym sound effects.
