Podcasts have been around for many years. Something about listening to what people want to share with the world is very interesting. Want to start your own podcast? Here are some tips on creating a well-developed podcast, from a technical aspect and personal experience.
Creating a podcast requires a large amount of time and creativity. Starting with a very important aspect: sound quality. Sound quality is a very important part. You don't want to scream into the microphone or whisper either. From my personal experience, do a sound test before actually recording. Put a fist between the speaker and the microphone. This will allow a good amount of space for you to talk at a normal pitch. The second tip is find your audience. Figure out what topics you want to talk about to reach out to your "target" audience. Another important aspect of recording a podcast is editing. Make sure you find a good sound editor. Most people use GarageBand on Apple products. This is important because you want to take out any um's or pauses in order to make the podcast not lengthy. Also, you can add sound effects to keep your audience listening. Last but not least, research your topic. This will help keep you organized and saves you a lot of editing to do. When you are interviewing someone, try finding questions that are not a yes or no answer. Let the interviewee elaborate on what they want to say. Also, find a different variety (such as age, gender, culture, etc.) of people to interview. Some links will be down below if you's like to read more about podcasts.
