Podcasting How-To: Mastering Audio; Case Studies from NPR and Smithsonian

Description

With podcasting, it involves strategic planning around mixing and mastering audio. To perfect the quality of your podcast, you will need to know what goes into voiceover recording, background music, leveling, compression, and other sound elements. While you do not have to be an experienced professional in recording and cutting audio, production planning and post-production editing should be just as important as the topics of your podcast episodes.

This virtual workshop not only dives into the music, sound, and mixing considerations for launching a podcast with staying power, but it also features case studies from both NPR and the Smithsonian Institution. Hear what market research and preparation goes into planning, producing, and marketing a successful branded podcast.
