Straight talk

You handle other people's voices and sometimes sensitive remarks. Keep raw recordings private, keep guest consent in mind and never cut or reorder speech in a way that changes someone's meaning. Do not add music without a licence. Say plainly what your edit does and does not fix, because bad recording cannot be fully repaired.
