So, I decided to make a podcast to explain the process of making a podcast (so self-reflexive, I know). I used the podcast program in GarageBand, and it took some time to learn where all of the controls were. Lucky for me, LYNDA EXISTS…and she explained it all, or mostly so anyway. I think that just playing around with the program’s different settings myself was just as important though. I’m familiar with sound mixing with music and creating voiceovers for videos, but this was a whole new world– resist the urge to break into song here btw.
I thought that making the introduction with the sound effects and music was actually the most fun part, but I also enjoy the fact that in a podcast, you can use a conversational tone and improvise all you like!
P.s. The music in it really has nothing to do with my project, I just like the song a lot! Click Below to Listen!
And I think it’s necessary to add this comment- When you open up the link to the podcast, you will see a strange animal as the album cover. I just thought the picture was hilarious and I needed album artwork. There is really no significance other than that.
This is great! So glad you were able to figure it out, garage band has been a struggle for me for years (literally) but it’s wonderful once you can use it. I’m impressed you realized the tone you can use since every time I happen to record myself for a project I never sound like I imagine I do!
Good job
Wow, that is impressive! Really cool demonstration of how you were able to learn a new technology and basically master it! Everything in your podcast is awesome, and you are spot on when you said that the music helps in the intro. It really makes it sound like a professional podcast (p.s. nice job with that sound mixing).
