Before you begin recording get signed permission of people who will be speaking on the podcast. Also, make sure to rehearse the script in order to avoid unnecessary pauses or stumbling on words. Speak in a consistent, natural pace.
Location
- Make sure that you record your podcast in a quiet room.
- Be aware of noise going on outside of the recording room such as construction, busy hallways and loud conversations.
- Turn off fans, A/C, and extra computers that generate noise.
Audio
- Be sure to talk as closely to the mic as you can without distorting the sound, about six inches is a good distance.
- Do a test recording to make sure the surrounding noise isn't too loud or distracting and that you are speaking at an appropriate volume.
- Aim the microphone at chest level instead of directly in front of your mouth
