Starting a Podcast as a Voiceover Artist
The host, Pilar Orty, shares her experience of starting her first podcast as a voiceover artist. She explains that although she was comfortable recording herself due to her voiceover work, podcasting presented a different challenge. Pilar initially wanted to use podcasting as a medium for her leadership and management training business but decided to take a different approach. She started a podcast called Spain Uncovered to market her book on Spanish culture, engaging with a diverse group of expats blogging about Spain. Pilar discusses using the Blue Nessie microphone and the importance of having a quiet recording space for good audio quality.
Exploring Different Formats and Themes
As Pilar continued her podcasting journey, she experimented with different formats and themes. She conducted interviews with expats in both English and Spanish, delved into the origins of expressions, and even had a friend contribute a blog post. Pilar found enjoyment and success in podcasting, with her book gaining recognition and sales as a result. While she acknowledges that her podcasting journey has seen changes over time, Pilar expresses her enthusiasm for continuing to produce more podcast episodes.
In this second episode of the NaPodPoMo challenge, I talk about starting "Spain Uncovered," my first serious podcasting project. I began it while shifting towards leadership and management training, using my experience as a voiceover artist. The podcast, linked to my book "The A to Z of Spanish Culture," was a way to reach an audience interested in Spanish culture. With a simple Blue Nessie microphone, I interviewed diverse expats and experimented with bilingual content. This venture was a step away from my main business, but it played a crucial role in my podcasting journey and kept my book in the spotlight, including in academic settings. Join me as I look back on these experiences in my daily podcasting challenge.
