    Podcasting 101

    Tools you will need to create a quality podcast.

    1. A decent microphone (usually not the mic on your laptop)

    2. A computer with audio recording software

    3. A web host for your audio/video

     

    Suggested Software

    1. Audacity

    2. Garage Band

    3. Aviary

    4. Screencast-O-matic


    Steps to Creating a Quality Podcast

    1. Write a quality and conversational script (not a rambling unrehearsed discourse or a script read in your best "reading-scriptures-in-Sunday-School" voice).


    2. Find some good intro or background music to which you have the rights.

    • (dig.ccmixter is devoted to helping you find that great music, all of which is liberally licensed under a Creative Commons license so you already have permission to use this music in your video, podcast, school project, personal music player, or where ever… We even have several 1,000 tracks that already have permission to use in commercial projects for free. http://dig.ccmixter.org/)


    3.Record your voice track. This is not live, so re-record as needed to make it sound just like you want. There is no excuse for stumbles or misreads.


    4.Add your intro or background music. Adjust the levels so it is easy to hear the voiceover over the music. Don't forget to fade in and out. Abrupt beginnings and endings don't sound professional.


    5.Save your finshed podcast as an mp3.


    6.Upload your audio to a web host such as posterous.


    7.Email, tweet, and Facebook update everyone you know with a link to your outstanding podcast!
