[email protected] Episode Takeaways The space you record your podcast in affects how you feel and come across to your audience, as well as the sound quality. Your moving creates noise and vibration. Louie shares several tips to help you prevent this from ruining your podcast episodes. Angle your microphone towards the corner of your mouth. This eliminates the plosive sounds audiences find so off putting. A teleprompter will help you to look in the right direction and fully engage with the audience. Wear headphones, so you can spot if your recording fails mid-episode. Make a note for the editor if you make a mistake. Be concise. Audiences hate rambling. Working with a few bullet points helps with this issue. BEST MOMENTS “The space that you record a podcast in is very important to the sound quality and how you feel when recording.” “Imagine that the lens is a portal to your audience, and you've really got to try to look right down the lens at people.” "Avoid all costs those like sippy cup things, that's disgusting. No one wants to hear that." “At the very least, create some bullet points of where you want to start, where you want to go, in the middle, and where you want to end.” “I've even had someone do a podcast next to a runway.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website - https://disruptivemedia.co.uk Want to get into podcasting but need a little push?
