I think if (when) I do another I'll lower the music some more - it was actually going to be louder than that then I changed it right at the last minute. Also, I'll try and speak a little slower - only realised after I'd finished editing that it sounded too quick in places.

 

Thanks for your positive comments and construcive criticism - this is the first time I've ever done anything like this so all feedback greatly appreciated.

Interesting, and informative. A useful reminder for those who may not be aware of their rights. Content was very good, production was average. May be copyright issues if the music is not royalty-free or an original work. It is generally the case that unless you've paid for an appropriate licence to do so, including music in a podcast IIRC constitutes offering a copy for download.

 

I don't know what you did as regards the music, but when I put together trailers, etc. I get the level of the voice right first, then adjust the volume of the backing music accordingly before doing the final mix. It also seemed you were speaking a little quietly into the microphone - in future, turn the mic level down, and your voice box up

 

I was torn between 2/3 and 3/3, and went for 2 to make the result look less boring. Good job otherwise.

 

Thanks for your comments.

 

As I said earlier it's the first time I've ever done anything like this or had any experiences of either recording my own voice or editing audio. I tried playing about with a couple of mics and different sound levels and went for the one which I thought sounded the best.

 

I edited the vocal part alone and got that into something which I thought sounded half decent, but then thought it sounded a little boring so I googled for some royalty free music which I purchased for a small fee and I personally feel it improved the overall podcast somewhat.

 

I'm glad the production was 'average' as I would have expected my first attempt to be below average.

 

I'm very pleased with all your comments so far and will be taking everything in for next time, so keep your tips and tricks coming.

Next time I'll say "eee by gum" at the end so all you foreign folk understand it.
