[Not an Ad] Needs opinion about a recently started podcast.

[TheRisingMyth]

 

Before someone slaughter me or delete this topic... I'm not looking for subs, or likes. I'd like to know if there's ways we can improve on our current format and... alternately if you think it's "passable" as a beginner's first footsteps.

 

Feel free to post feedback on the forum, or on YT. I'll stay for a bit and maybe even come back tomorrow to answer any potential concerns. (kinda busy writing a paper now)

 

Late edit : I'm French, my buddy is Brazilian, so be easy on our English.

get a better mic

 

That's def on my priority list.

[DreadAdmiralMatze]

I'll be sure to check it out and give feedback later.

Thinking of using a facecam? Even though it's a podcast, I think it would be cool if you did

[ben dover kid]

better mic, then dont have such long pauses when you start saying something, then you stop and say aammmmmm, and then continue. all kinds of mumbling should be left out, and "wassup its ... aaaammmm, happy ragdoll" makes me think you dont even know whats your name lol

As of right now, I'm thinking it'd be as sort of a "long-term perk". Maybe as we get more comfortable, we'll reveal our faces. (which I have no problem doing personally)

I would cut out any long pauses. Try doing mock podcasts to get more comfortable. Keep the umms and other variables of that to a small minimum. Besides that sounds good to me.

I totally get where you're at, but conceptually, not stuttering throughout a podcast is virtually impossible. We don't have a script, it's all off the cuff.

 

Coming up with a continuous string of thoughts for an hour long isn't as easy as it sounds.

 

About my name ? More like my nickname, I'm not that comfy calling myself "TheRisingMyth" in any capacity, especially in spoken form. I'll have to be used to it.

Watch totalbiscuit its possible

 

ANYWAY its not bad if its a few times or a short umm maybe twice. But when its like and ummmmmm this and ummmmm it gets tiresome. Perhaps have a outline of what your going to talk about ( even points) so there wont be confusion or downtime.

 

also note that being quite IMO is better then saying um. If you have to gather your thoughts just be quite for like 5 seconds instead of saying um .

TotalBiscuit is something else. I respect that man to the utmost extent !

 

Feedback taken into account, less ums, more silence. LOL.

 

But still, a podcast recorded in one take will take more brain juice than normal... I'll totally try to improve my spoken English, but I don't think it's that bad of a handicap.

Once again, thanks for even giving a flying shit about it. And to the others too ! The LTT community is always top-notch.

i know it isnt easy to talk for an hour without stuttering, but iv seen some guys who manage to do very little of it, and with style. like rwj podcasts if you have seen them.

In addition to this work from a script for your intro/what you're going to be talking about and outro. When discussing a topic that doesn't need a script per se as you should get into a flow of what you're discussing. If you have a few things you wish to discuss within a podcast it's worth making notes/bullet points on your script so you can still keep it flowing and snappy.

 

Listen to other podcasts and even the radio, listen to when people are talking make a note of silence or when they say uummm, errr, ahhh etc... there's barely any due to the fact it's a big no no.

I don't know if you are using Skype or some other VOIP software. But think about moving into something with less latency possible. That will make things better as there won't be bigger pauses when other presenter is listening what you say and then forming answer. TS3 and Mumble have both excellent latency compared to Skype.
