The
equipment that is needed to make a basic podcast
·
A simple podcast without any effects only needs
a basic microphone and a recorder. A
speaker, or headphones, is needed only to play back the recorded audio to check
for errors.
·
An audio editing software is not necessary,
however, if mistakes are made, the entire audio would have to be rerecorded.
·
Some mp3 players could be used.
·
Most smart phones are capable of recording good
quality audio.
·
Most computers, laptops or tablets now come
equipped with audio recording capabilities.
·
There are many apps available for smart phones
and tablets to add effects to recorded audio.
·
There are online audio editing products.
Task 1
Podcasting
can even be achieved without a microphone and a recorder. There are many free text-speech websites that
could be used to create a podcast if you are desperate. Your task is to use one of these websites to
create a very short podcast then analyse the quality and effectiveness of the
podcast. Below are examples of questions
that you can ask (yourself) when evaluating the podcast.
·
How good is it?
Did it sound professional?
·
What were the positives and negatives of the
podcast?
·
What would you have liked to add to the podcast
to make it more interesting or effective.
The
website http://www.fromtexttospeech.com/ can
be use. It creates the audio file and
you are able to download it as an mp3.
Explain to
students that there are quite a few online applications and mobiles apps that
can do basic sound editing. Some of
these editors are capable of creating products that approaches professional
quality. They should then explore some of
these online editors. If any student has
any audio editing mobile app, they can review that app.
