1
of 7— Record a segment of your tour narration
What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll be able to take a recording of your own tour narration and turn it into 3-5 pieces of social media content — short video clips for Instagram Reels or TikTok, a podcast episode, and a blog post — using Descript's AI transcription and editing tools. One tour recording becomes a week's worth of content.
What you'll need
- A Descript account (free plan available; paid plans for longer projects at Descript's website)
- A tour recording — even a voice memo on your phone works to start. Video is better for Reels/TikTok.
- Your phone or a simple tripod for recording (not required for audio-only content)
- Time needed: 30 min setup + 1-2 hours to produce your first content batch
- Cost: Free tier available; full features on paid plan
How-To Guide: Turn Tour Recordings into Social Content with Descript
Step 1: Record a segment of your tour narration
You don't need to record a full tour. Start with one compelling 3-5 minute segment — your best story, a dramatic reveal, or your most popular stop.
Options for recording:
- Audio only: Voice memo app on your phone. Stand somewhere quiet (before guests arrive, or after the tour). Narrate your stop as if guests are there.
- Video: Set your phone on a small tripod or lean it against a wall while you narrate. You don't need to be on camera — a walking shot of the location works well.
- Live tour recording: Ask a trusted guest to film one segment during an actual tour. Authentic and captures real audience reactions.
Save the file to your phone's camera roll or directly upload to your computer.
