TIPS when recording:
- Record your podcast in small bits. It's harder to speak for 3 minutes without screwing up or losing track of what you're doing.
- Shorter audio clips are easier to work with and edit.
- You will want to create an MP3 or MP4 of your voice. Use a recording device to save your audio file in this format. There are a variety of converters you can use online, or ask a tech savvy friend, or, if you have an iPhone check out this short tutorial video; or instructions on how to record audio with a smartphone...
- Many people use the program: Audacity to record their podcasts. You can too, but you'll have to download it to your own computers.
- Once you have an MP3 file, you can share the file for our class, or upload your audio into moviemaker or other video programs or load it to YouTube. After creating a black screen, you can select the AUDIO track and use the video editing tools to edit your lovely voice.
- NOTE: If you are terrible at tech, partner with someone who can teach you how to do this sort of thing. That person might be in a different class as well. Choose someone you like to learn from. The internet also has great sources. You may use your equipment at home if you have it. Otherwise, use what we have available in the lab to record and upload your sound files.
REMEMBER: You must place your MP4 (video) files on your desktop! From the FILE menu, you should SAVE your MOVIE as AUDIO ONLY. Scroll down on the drop menu to the bottom to see the AUDIO ONLY function.

It is not intended to create podcasts, in other words. This may cause you some frustration. But there's help! Here are some common issues/problems students encounter when working with audio and editing clips.
Since you will need to be able to learn this for our next unit(s) on photography, film, television, and advertising, it is best to learn it now. If you are not directly connected to the editing of your group's audio files, help your partners by learning about:
