Al, I think Zoom has the ability to record audio/video in .m4a format. You may
be able to make a video call to a sighted friend. The friend could help Masha
position herself and get straight on to the camera. Once setup the friend
should mute themselves and you can start the Zoom recording. I can’t say I have
tried this but it may be worth a shot.

Greetings!
Masha would like to make a recording to send off for an audition. (It’s a
possible acting gig.) So far, she’s had help with this from people using their
phones to make the recordings. Since both of us might be a little sick, we
doubt we should ask somebody to come over to help in the usual way. (Also, the
friend who has done this a couple of times has other stuff to deal with at the
moment.
We finally have a working camera with a microphone on this desktop. (The
laptop’s off for camera repairs—we hope.) Is there recording software—for both
audio and video—in Windows 10 already that she can use that is at least
accessible enough? Or, is there software she can download, install, and learn
to use without too much trouble, since this looks like a rush job? She’ll
likely need help over soon to get the video right, but that might work out if
she has the right tools on this machine. (I don’t know for sure, but I sure
hope that’s true.)
Thanks for any help with this.
Best!
Al
