A style guide for transcriptions pertaining to Chris-related videos, phone calls, and Mumbles.
Actions
Chris performed some noteworthy action while speaking. What do you do?
RIGHT:
Describe the action as succinctly as possible. Italicize this description and place it in brackets.
"My name is Christian Weston Chandler." [removes glasses dramatically]
WRONG:
Write an autistically lengthy description of the action.
"My name is Christian Weston Chandler." [uses his right hand to remove his glasses in a dramatic fashion]
ALSO WRONG:
Italicize the brackets, too.
"My name is Christian Weston Chandler." [removes glasses dramatically]
Long pauses
Chris paused for a long time between two words unnecessarily. What do you do?
RIGHT:
Use an ellipsis followed by a space.
"My name is… Christian Weston Chandler."
ALSO RIGHT:
Use three dots followed by a space.
"My name is... Christian Weston Chandler."
WRONG:
Use only two dots.
"My name is.. Christian Weston Chandler."
ALSO WRONG:
Use an ellipsis not followed by a space.
"My name is...Christian Weston Chandler."
