How to Record and Edit Your Podcast Simply

Hi there!

I'm Charlotte - Creativity Coach and digital creator from Creative Goddess Club,  and I started my podcast "Creative Goddess Show" exactly 1 year ago.

What does it look like now?

• a whopping 42 episodes

• consistent content released weekly to my audience

• 5 star reviews

• 10+ collaboration episodes with other creators in business (and more in the pipeline)

But I'm guessing you already know the power of a podcast... that's why you are here right?

You don't need to be reminded of its potential to:  connect more deeply with your audience, build an authority base, collaborate, increase visibility - oh and not to mention how creative and FUN it is.

It's just the actual part of *doing* it and dealing with all that "tecchy stuff"... am I right again?!

In this course I'm going to show you how to outline, record/edit and add music in a simple way that doesn't overwhelm.

I believe in using low cost / free tools where possible when you're starting out, because there's always room for an upgrade later right!  The problem I see with so many is block that deciding --- "which microphone?" or "which software?" --- creates.  Then? You've got it - no action is taken to action create the *thing* or in this case a podcast episode.

So the two tools I will be focusing on in this course is Audacity (Free for Windows and Mac) and GarageBand (free for Mac users).

I hope this course really helps you to get back to basics and experience the joy of sharing your message with the world!  :)

Outline your episode and reap the rewards! This is such a key step to be taken that eases the recording process big time - trust me. I’ll be sharing my basic process with you on how I do this for every single episode I record.

Worried you’re not “techy” enough? Recording your podcast is only as complicated as you want it to be. Introducing the simple software called Audacity that I love to use - it comes with very little resistance and I'm going to teach you how to use the basic functions, so you’re not frantically Googling / YouTubing every couple of minutes!

It is easy to get hung up on making your podcast sound “perfect” but too much of this can actually take away from the natural flow of your voice. I will teach you how to edit using just a few functions on the free program Audacity.

Don't forget that after this, lecture 5 includes a tech tutorial showing recording on Audacity in action!
