More podcasting

After listening to Tom's podcast in the presentation session of the Web 2.0 course it suddenly dawned on me my my podcasts sound a bit dull: no reverb! It's like one bloke sitting at his desk, talking quietly into a microphone. Well, too close to reality that is... Now I restarted Garageband, and re-did the voice track on my previous podcast, in order to give it more depth. Some reverb, more clarity, a bit lower, basically to give more body to the voice.

Very easy to do, but I might have overdone it. Judge for yourselves:







Same content, different voice. More authority?

  1. ah, you spotted the ambience adjustment! garageband also lets you normalise volume throughout, which worked really well. The snazzy intro was all done by animoto, btw: www.animoto.com. Took me exactly 2 minutes. Recommended...

    I made it in imovie, and found that syncing slides to a soundtrack is really difficult: you have to type in the number of seconds you want any slide to run for. In the end I had to write a little spreadsheet, for goodness sake, to handle the minutes/seconds conversions: sums are not my strong point.
