For this assignment, I had a friend of mine read through the instructions to one of our labs. I made the recording continuous and changed the distances every 30 seconds to make the transitions between both recording distances more apparent. For the first thirty seconds, the mic was about a foot from his face. This recording distance made it possible to hear the moments he took a breath, when he gulped and the vibrations of his voice. For the second recording distance, none of these things were noticeable and it made it sound a lot more like a recording.
