You make podcasts with hard work, but in the end, you find your voice resonating or stinging, or if some words are not recorded clearly, then this will destroy your hard work. Therefore, do the recording in a room where there is maximum peace, however, the sound will echo if the room is completely empty. To ensure the right elements are in your room that can absorb your noise. In the recording area, a maximum of curtains or clothes should be set up so that it is clear to hear the sound. If possible, make a recording with a cushion filter or pop-up filter above the mic as well. With this, the quality of your voice will be greatly improved.
In conclusion, you need to know that the most essential thing that attracts people and is available to them is your voice! So a conscious effort in the little things will take you a long way, and will keep making your audience wanting more! So this is how you record a podcast, Happy podcasting!
