Audio Editing Secrets

We deliver step-by-step training in how to produce a broadcast quality podcast. We cover scripting, presentation, recording, editing, mixing, mastering, publication and promotion for your podcast from an expert with over 30 years recording studio and production experience. Scripting and Presentation – I will share with you what I have learned over the years as a director of voiceovers and presenters, and now as a presenter of my own podcast. Make it sound lively and include everything you need, without repeating yourself. Present your show with the editing in mind and convey the right attitude. Recording – position your microphones, record in the studio, office, on location, and using online conferencing like Zoom, Teams, Riverside or Squadcast. Learn about different microphones, and how to prepare your recording for the edit. Editing – edit your voice recording efficiently using your choice of the most widely used editing software - ProTools, Audacity, and Adobe Audition. How to remove noise from your recording and edit it into a natural sounding, fluid narrative that skips along at the right pace. Remove any false starts, coughs, errs, umms, repetitions, and ensure that the gaps inbetween what you are saying are the right natural length. Processing and Mixing – What is EQ? Compression? Noise Reduction? Why and when are they necessary? How can processes like these make your production seem more professional, and make mixing easier. Mix 2 or more voices together to sound evenly levelled, add music or sound effects to your final production, without drowning out the speech. Publication and Promotion – a step by step guide to hosting your podcast on your platform of choice, and making the right noise about it so that your audience can find it, wherever they get their podcasts. We will teach you all this and much more. Visit our website to find out more, or message to book a slot in our next free webinar presentation.
