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.”
