PodTips: Think of Your Environment
Good Morning and welcome to the first ever Ginni Media Pod Pops episode! Your daily dose of podcasting news, hacks, advice and pop culture. That tired eye, groggy head, slow start feeling can mean only one thing - it must be a Monday… Which means its a PodTip day!
PodTip Mondays are when I share some audio hacks and advice to try to help you understand and improve all those pesky technical and logistical queries that come along with having your own Podcast. We’re going to start off the week with the most common piece of advice we tell our podcasters: Think about your environment!
Now obviously you are limited to what you have available, and we don’t all have access to a recording studio - but here’s the thing - you don’t need on. Here are a few things to consider before recording:
- Block out noise from the outside. Close all doors and windows to hide those New York Sirens.
- No machines running except your podcasting equipment. We don’t wanna hear your AC unit.
- Lots of soft materials like couches, rugs, blankets, and carpeting to reduce reverb. We weren’t joking when we said build a pillow fort.
Hopefully you can take even just one bit of this advice onto your next recording and improve the listening experience for your audience. Come back tomorrow for the latest news in the Podverse, and come back next week for more advice on perfecting the art of the perfect podcast! I’m Ginni Saraswati, and this is PodPops!
