Since I didn’t work during the winter breka and didn’t folow my plan, I had to work really hadr in order to finsih my podcast on time. So first of all I had to finish the script and it was quite hard for me, just to write it down; I needed an outline in order to organize my thoughts.

I first had to record my script, and to be honest I recorded it more than 30 times; always with different tone and pase, tempo etc.

Later on, I figured out that it was taking quite long time, so I broke down nmy script into 4 parts and I recorded for example the very first as many times as I could in order to get a good result. Sdo, I listened to them and chose the best one that sounded good. I did the same method to the other parts.

I decided to use Movie Maker to edit my podcast, because I wanted to include music; however one problem was that I couldn’t use the song more than 30 sec, and I also had to include the artists name and song title in my podcast.

To make my podcast sound very flowy and nice, I wanted to make the music play in the background and me speaking at the same time, however I could not reach the satisfactory when I worked with Movie Maker. You could paste the song in the timeline and shorten it however you wanted to; you also could drag the song INTO the recorder podcast file so that it would sound as if the song would be playing in the background. Unfortunately, since I was using a very short part of the whole song, it didn’t fit to the length of my recorder first part of my script. So, either I could drag the song in the beginning or only in the middle; but I wanted it to have somehow in the middle while I was talkig for a very long time.

So instead (I used my laptop recorder), I played the song with Windows Media Player for only 30 sec and I was talking at the same time. I tried it for the first time and it sounded very good (well at leats it sounded very good for me J So it was like this:

I played a song for 30 sec,while I was speaking and when the song ended I had to start a new one again so that ONLY me won’t be speaking. I also had to be careful to not to make any extra sounds in order to to start a new song while I was recording; it required a lot of concentrating and being a multi-task person!!
