In this video, I'll teach you how to record and edit a podcast in Audacity so that you can create a professional sounding podcast episode.
Audacity works for both MAC and PC users, and can be downloaded for free here:
www.audacityteam.org/download/
For MAC users, if you want something more MAC-like in experience, try using Garageband. It's also free and is likely on your computer already. Here's a full tutorial for how to use Garageband that will help you:

In this tutorial, I walk you through all the simple steps you need to take in order to make this simple, especially moving forward after you get a few episodes under your podcasting belt.
Please note that this is a lesson pulled from my premium podcasting course, Power-up Podcasting (www.poweruppodcasting.com), so if you hear references to other videos or lessons in the course, that's why they are there.
Finally, if you've found this video and you have yet to set anything up or plan your podcast, I recommend checking out my #1 podcasting tutorial on KZhead that'll help you get started from scratch here:

    • You and me girl. I get scared of anything technical. I actually bought a course on podcasting before watching this and I must say I learned some things I didn't learn from the other course. And Pat has a way of making things easier to understand. Editing my own podcast still scares me but I guess we'll eventually get used to it like they say. I wish I didn't have to bother myself with this technical side of things.

  • Great tutorial Pat! I'd like to add a tip for editing a podcast in Audacity. In the top right corner there is a small green button and right next to it you can adjust the playback speed. When editing I usually speed up the playback to 1.70x-1.80x. This allows me to speed up the playback while editing and saves me lots of time. Also this function does not alter your final file in any way and the software exports the file at regular speed.

  • I'm planning to create a podcast where I do overviews of my most favorite show, The X-files. I lnow there are a lot out there but i mostly want to do it for myself and if people love it, thats a bonus. I'm learning a lot from your videos.

    @jessicaraelene5276@jessicaraelene52763 жыл бұрын

    • I'm the same. Not x files but hoping to do three twenty minute pods a week. One just being a little bit of a moan or take on news. One about football (Manchester United) and a final one about retro raw(wrestling) review. All subjects that have many big podcasts about already but I just wanna give it a shot. I hope your podcast goes well. Point being who cares if there's loads out there, none are yours and it will be special for you. Best of luck and wishing you success.
