Speak about 25% slower (when recording) than you would normally.<\/p>\n<p>2. If you screw up a word while recording, be silent for about 4 seconds and repeat the sentence &#8211; edit later.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the pause in speaking will create tell-tail wave pattern that will make it much easier to edit later.<\/li>\n<li>trying only to restate the messed-up word, will create a discontinuity in the flow\/rhythm of the sentence. That&#8217;s why I say to repeat the sentence when you screw up a word.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3. Edit your recordings later: constantly stopping and starting while recording is slow and it interrupts the flow of your podcast.<\/p>\n<p>4. Imagine you are teaching\/speaking to a <strong>single person<\/strong> sitting beside you when creating the videos\/podcast. Don&#8217;t think you are speaking to a room full of people.<\/p>\n<p>5. Use a conversational \/ relaxed style in your podcast &#8211; don&#8217;t try to be anything but yourself. Whatever you do, don&#8217;t try to sound like a professor at school &#8211; remember how boring those classes used to be!<\/p>\n<p>6. Get a good mic! I now use the Electrovoice RE20 and I&#8217;m not looking back &#8230; it makes a huge difference.<\/p>\n<p>7. Get to the point quickly. People have less patience when on the Web, so try to keep it concise.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading,<\/p>\n<p>Stefan Mischook<\/p>\n<p>www.killersites.com<br \/>\nwww.killerphp.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been recording video tutorials and podcast for a little while now (2 years) and over that time, I&#8217;ve picked up a few tricks that have really improved my podcast and made them a lot easier to create. &#8230; Not that I&#8217;m a great podcaster, but nonetheless these tips do help.
