Podcasting: tools and tips

[temaris]

Way back, in the dawn of time (or, sometime last week, when I was still in the midst of figuring this damn podcasting thing out), I thought that this stuff was complicated. Now I am old and greystill blonde, and wise in the ways of OMG that *stupid* rss feed! And I know better

This is very good info and advice for the newbies out here. Thanks.

*g* I figure someone should benefit from all the mistakes I made. Or at least get a laugh out of it!

Great guide - and thanks for the link to ListGarden - that will make life so much easier :).

LOL - the mental images!

You are so right about the pausing and Editing thing - once you'd told me that so many headaches went away.

I have found that reading from paper is much easier for me than reading from the screen, but I did hit one snag - it's always good to make sure your pages are in the right order before starting to read ;). Thing is I was a paragraph in to the next page before I even realised it made no sense at all ::g::.

it's amazing how many authors write in tongue twisters
So what's the hardest word or phrase you've tried to say so far? Mine has to be "inestimable power" or Slytherin combined with anything else at all.

I was just infururiated when I found listgarden -- I men, i couldn't have found it 8sooner*? but my pain is someone else's gain, adn I don't have to handcode updates so, all manner of thing is well.

So what's the hardest word or phrase you've tried to say so far?

God, I don't remember the precise phrase, but it was one of Claire's, and I think I re-read it five or six times before I could get it out in one go.

I was just listening to Claire again just now - very funny :).

Thinking about it, didn't you mention something about naked aliens and rumbaring or somesuch on Sun?

[temaris]

Yes! that was it.

Rodney didn't answer; he was too busy staring at Hermiod. "I never realized a three foot tall person could rumba quite that well," he commented.

*shudder* 'could rumba quite' was a nightnmare to say intelligibly. (Could rumma quite; could rumble quite, could rumba kite...)

OMG this looks like so much fun!

Hey! I'm a real n00b, haha, and I was just wondering what type of microphones are best (and affordable) for podficcing. I'd really appreciate the help! :)

[liketheriffle]

Thanks for this, really. I've just gotten into recording podfic, and there's a lot I'm still learning. It's sort of intimidating when you see how many good readers there are out there - but this definitely helps.
