My goal is to motivate you to create content and not worry about all the details, such as thinking you need a professional studio or vocal booth. These worries tend to hold people back from ever starting.Believe me, I’ve been producing podcasts for 7 years and JUST started this podcast a few months ago. 

I’d love for you to try some of the tips in this episode. I hope they help you find a recording solution that sounds best for YOU.Oh, and make sure you’re using a dynamic microphone. Your recording will sound like caca regardless of where you record, if you’re using a condenser mic.   

Episode Tips: 

  • Be aware of the time of day you’re recording and notice how much outside noise the mic is picking up 

  • Try recording in your closet, closets sound great! 

  • Record in your car, cars are quiet and have little to no reverb 

  • Early mornings or late nights are quietest 

  • Avoid recording in rooms with hardwood floors 

  • Rooms with a rugs and furniture absorb a lot of slap back and reverb 

  • If you travel a lot, build a pillow fort. It’ll act as a vocal booth 

  • Learn about your microphone, for podcasting you’re going to want to get really close to the mic capsule when you record. 

  • Wear headphones! You need to be able to hear what the microphone is hearing 

  • Only use dynamic mics
