Record a Call

Electronics stores sell special tape recorders that enable you to record your telephone conversation with someone else and play it back later. In many states it is a crime to tape record a conversation without telling the other person. If this is the case in your state, let the person know that the call is being taped so that you can examine how you come across on the phone. Assure your partner that the conversation won’t be used for any purpose other than your own self-analysis, and that the other person’s voice and taped comments won’t be analyzed or given to anyone else. Another way to get the tape recording done is to tape your side of the conversation via an external tape recorder. Make certain that the recorder is located not too far away from you, so that you get a more accurate reading of the way your voice sounds.
