1. Monitor your Audio Meters
Make sure that you see the audio meters moving when you speak.
If they’re not moving, there’s no audio, and the client is receiving no feedback.
If it’s moving when you talk but flashes YELLOW or RED, it’s too loud and your voice may be distorted.
Make a habit of monitoring your audio meters at the beginning of your test, then occasionally as you are recording, to make sure it’s still flashing green.
2. Follow the Scenario and Tasks
Remember, customers are looking for something specific, and they want you to validate it or show them how to make it better. What do they want? It’s usually written in the scenario. If the test says to imagine you are shopping for a car, really try to get into the mindset of someone who wants to buy a car. Imagine your car just broke down – what would you think about or do? It helps to actually read the scenario out loud. Also, pay close attention to the tasks. If the task says, how do you like the page? Tell them how you like the page. Don’t fill out a form or click a link if the task doesn’t ask you to do so.
