Bethany Muscat replied to Krishna Vaishnavi
You gave it a got and as long as you learned something new- that is impressive!
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Amie Tridgell
100% about just giving it a go from where you are at. That might just look like being able to download the files from this page. Everybody is at a different stage and it's about learning something new.
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Ingrid van der Bij
@IngridvanderBij That's such great outcome! Thanks for getting involved and giving a go.

Great news Karen!
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Cat Pichura
Cat, it's all a process and the more you do it the easier it gets. I think it's about setting achievable goals for yourself so you can develop the skills. There are youtube clips and things that can walk you think smaller skills you're looking to learn. I started not knowing anything the more I did it, the more I learned and those things became less and less...

Bethany Muscat replied to Nikos Nikolaou
Every time you do the process it gets easier and it frees you up to think further about what you're creating.

Bethany Muscat replied to Freya Young
I'm so glad you gave it a go. Thanks for sharing with us.

Bethany Muscat replied to David Onyango
Hi David, we have a whole page looking at equipment needs. It can definitely be overwhelming at first but the more involved you get in using the equipment and technology the easier it gets. We have an audio activity in week two which really allows you to play with the software to produce something new.
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Fidelma Nugent
Welcome, it's great to have you with us. We have an exciting activity where you can gain experience by doing exactly this! It can be found in week two. Sometimes it can be overwhelming the amount of information we have included in the course but stick to your learning goals and enjoy your time with us.
-
Bethany Muscat replied to SHOLA S AWONIYI

Bethany Muscat replied to Katherine G
Stick with us Katherine! We definitely get into this in more depth in week two.
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Kaye O'Neill
Wonderful to have you along with us. We have a range of information available and sometimes some elements can be overwhelming.

Remember these goals as you travel through the course enjoy the information but hone into the aspects that help you with these goals. Best wishes.

-
Bethany Muscat replied to Stephania Tomas
My advice would be to take the time to have a play - get to know how audacity works. I love how you have listed what you have achieved here. Remember it's about your own learning journey and taking the time where you need. It may be that audacity isn't organised in a way that works for you. There are a lot of other options available.
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Louise Wilson
The more you edit the quicker you get. But it is definitely a time-consuming process.

-
Bethany Muscat replied to Hilary Cooke
Don't feel torn! I would recommend exactly that! It's all about your own learning goals and where you want them to take you! so take the time to process if that is going to be most beneficial and you're always welcome to join us for the next run where you can re-engage with things if that's what suits or you can dive into creating or sharing something you have...
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Karen S
Thanks for your feedback @KarenS. In this step, we are specifically looking at the sound of the voice. Podcasting is a massive field and there is so much to investigate and interrogate! you raise an excellent topic for consideration.
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Michael Mischler
Very glad that you are enjoying the course @MichaelMischler
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Abeer Alfaim
So easy to do!
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Barry Hodgin
Such a common one!
-
The dot point list under 'Generally you need:' is the basic list. We then go into a bit more detail and provide some ideas of where you can get the equipment in the section immediately under that.
Essentially you need a voice recorder (an iPhone will do), a laptop or computer and editing software to get started.

Bethany Muscat replied to Jacqueline Winton
Love this!

Bethany Muscat replied to lou G
Thanks for sharing! This sounds really interesting and exactly what we are talking about in terms of how audio allows for the honest expression of heartbreak.
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Karen S
Great feedback thanks for sharing. For this particular course, we get a massive range of people. Some have never listened to a podcast others have made professional podcasts. What we have tried to do is bring together some quality examples that you can choose to listen to if you wish. I will definitely take your feedback on board and change the wording for the...
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Christina Young
I've studied music separately and it can be quite a skill to get the audio and speech at the right volumes. I think this is a great consideration that you bring to light and perhaps this could be a unique position to create from. We going into more about adding music and sounds to your audio in week two, but it's always to support the story so if that isn't...
-
Bethany Muscat replied to Karen S
So sorry - some locations make it difficult to find the audio

Bethany Muscat replied to Ines Bonoko Tomos
You're definitely not behind! It's all about you and the pace you choose. To give you some context - everybody gets four weeks free access from the day they join and part of what makes this such a unique mode of learning is that you're the driver. There's no behind or in front, there are just the learning goals you set for yourself. If you do run out of time...

A few people from the last run of the course also commended that it sounded like an actor - I do believe it was lady who experienced the story.
-

@LenMorgan thanks of your observation and I can completely see what you mean as Marc does all the talking. The small piece was just an example of being: "casual, open and Maron treats him like a friend who has dropped in. It’s a very different Obama to the one we see in news interviews."
I'd love you to share with us an example of fantastic hosting if...
