These podcasting video tutorials teach you the basics about recording a good podcast using a USB microphone and some free audio software that are pre-installed on your PC (Windows Sound Recorder, Windows Movie Maker) or Mac (Quicktime, Garageband).
You should also pick topics that will be relevant in the future. Podcasts aren’t live, so you’ve got to talk about things so they won’t go out of date.
Put a menu that tells people what’s coming up in in your podcast at the start. Podcast should be your best stuff as you never know who’s listening. Podcasts tend not to have scripts as they’re people talking about things that they’re passionate about and that works best if it’s unplanned.
The key here is that you’re clear and easy to understand without sounding like your forcing yourself to be well spoken. Sitting closer to the microphone will give a deeper sound, but is more likely to distort, while further away offers less distortion, but can leave you sounding literally distant. When you’ve picked your position, make sure you are always in roughly the same place for each take.
Try and keep everything down to 45 seconds. This is the audience’s attention span. Hit punch line at 45 seconds.
