| This recording and transcriptions relay the substance and styles of three testimonies, which are "I Wanted to be sure" performed by Rachel Franklin, "A Vision of Heaven" by Edith Cubbage, and "A Vision of Hean" by Reverend John Sherfey. The first being performed at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, during an interview. Cubbage's was performed at her home in Stanley, Virginia, and the Reverend's was performed at the Fellowship Independent Baptist Church in Stanley, Virginia. | This transcription relays the substance and styles of testimonies. It is important to note that the recording by Jeff Titon and Ken George titled "Three Testimonies" doesn't have the complete Testimonies collection from Alcheringa 4-1, only having three performances' captured audio, which are "I Wanted to be sure" performed by Rachel Franklin, "A Vision of Heaven" by Edith Cubbage, and "A Vision of Hean" by Reverend John Sherfey. The first being performed at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, during an interview. Cubbage's was performed at her home in Stanley, Virginia, and the Reverend's was performed at the Fellowship Independent Baptist Church in Stanley, Virginia. |

| The transcribers, Ken George and Jeff Titon, use subtle techniques in signifying how each testimony is spoken by the performers, focusing primarily on volume and the length of time the performer takes breaks, while also keeping in mind the signification of the listener's response. | The transcribers, Ken George and Jeff Titon, use subtle techniques in signifying how each testimony is spoken by the performers, focusing primarily on volume and the length of time the performer takes breaks, while also keeping in mind the signification of the listener's response. |

| As I mentioned earlier, the devices like word fonts are used to help with intonation, too, and this seems to align almost flawlessly with the audio recordings of the performers, pinpointing exactly when the speakers get louder or quieter. One more keynote is how the transcriptions also use stage-like directions, particularly when a performer is crying, placing "[Crying]:" right before a part of a performance that contains it. So, although the visual transcripted texts may not be as appealing as the audio recordings, they are incredibly legible and help the reader better understand the performances. | As I mentioned earlier, the devices like word fonts are used to help with intonation, too, and this seems to align almost flawlessly with the audio recordings of the performers, pinpointing exactly when the speakers get louder or quieter.
