1. Minimize background noise Recording in a quiet area (in a vehi-
cle or off site) is best. When recording on site, try to choose a break
in the traffic noise and hold the mic close to the mouth.
2. Keep the message short Most messages can be delivered in less
than 10 seconds. Include only enough information to get the mes-
sage across.
3. Keep the message relevant A pattern of broadcasting outdated or
not at the moment applicable messages will eventually cause them
to be ignored.
4. Include key information If the message only concerns north-
bound traffic or a particular exit or location, say so.
5. Use a higher pitch Female voices are more likely to get every-
one’s attention. Extremely low male voices do not transmit as well.
6. Speak clearly Be sure to enunciate and speak slowly enough to
avoid run-together words
7. Be Pleasant In many situations, the message may be heard sever-
al times. An unpleasant message will be annoying.
8. Identify the authority Messages should first announce the author-
ity giving the message, i.e. “This is the Colorado DOT” or “This is
the Maryland State Police”. This gives credibility to the message
that follows.
