Podcasting for Garden Writers

You’ve recorded your masterpiece and now need to edit
the audio file to remove your stumbles, mumbles, um's
and ah's, plus the odd swear word that crept out on the
fifth attempt at pronouncing Rubus cockburnianus
without laughing!! You might want to insert a spoken
mention for your sponsor or layer in some music or
sound effects to add drama or a sense of place. Your
editing program can also remove a lot of unwanted
background noise. This is probably the first time that you
may have heard your own voice like you’ve never heard it
before; you probably won’t like it!! Don’t worry. Everybody
feels the same the first time they listen to their own
warblings. When we speak normally we don’t just hear
ourselves through our ears but also via the bones of our
head and jaw making a recording listened to through
speakers or headphones sound very alien indeed.
