Sonic Haiku attempt one

I accidentally put this up as an empty post. But I also wanted to say that contacting people about recording in a place is very difficult and I am looking for advice. I called the bingo location plenty ahead of time but they were very resistant what with worrying about me disrupting the game. They didn't want me wandering around during the game and bugging the players. Also the age difference was a huge thing to get past in terms of approachability and them taking me seriously. Is there any advice on this front or is it something you just get past with time and experience?

    Hannah,

    See my comment to Christine. Developing rapport is key, and it can take some finessing what and when you ask for someone's time. It's a drag when people are resistant, but keep in mind that there are tons of people out there who love to talk and love to be heard! My own experience with older folks is that they appreciate a good conversation and a genuine ear. I'm wondering in this case if it may be a matter of when you try to connect. Perhaps it would be better to find someone to talk to when the game's not on?

    You'll find a way to do this one...
