Documentation:Podcasting Basics/Tips

From UBC Wiki
  • Find a quiet room with minimal ambient noise for recording sessions.
  • Audio quality is much better when recording with external microphones.
  • Plan your podcasts into segments to minimize errors and easier editing.
  • Although a script is not required it is hugely beneficial. Alternatively, you can have a general outline of your podcast to keep yourself on track.
  • Many people find 3 - 5 minute podcasts are the most effective.

Five questions to ask yourself before getting started

  • What is my purpose, why am I making this podcast?
  • Who is it for?
  • Is the recording quality important or is the purpose to share an idea or concept?
  • Do I have necessary permissions and copyright in place?
  • Do I have all of the resources I need, or know where to find them?
