How to Help Keep the Record Clear in a Remote Deposition

Always check your equipment before going on the record.

Remote depositions are convenient, but they come with challenges. For example, when people speak over one another or audio becomes unclear.

Here are simple ways participants can help keep the record clear:

1. Speak one at a time
Avoid jumping in mid-sentence.

2. Pause before responding
A brief pause prevents overlap and improves clarity.

3. Avoid side conversations
Even quiet background comments can interfere with the record.

4. Use a strong microphone setup
Headphones or a clear mic can make a big difference.

Clear speech supports an accurate record and a smoother proceeding for everyone involved.
