Our first podcast was quite nice, it was edited very well (by Mr Brunet)<br />

but our voices were too small. We learned from our mistakes and gave it<br />

a second try which was way better and soon after we were doing it all<br />

with more independence and confidence.<br />

We (EMOH) have already made 10 episodes of our podcast so far and<br />

we have learnt a lot from it.<br />

The origin of our podcast started when 5JB was preparing for our<br />

class assembly. We decided to write a magazine to go along with it, too.<br />

After we published our magazine, we thought because we started a<br />

magazine, so why not do a podcast? And that is why we created 10<br />

episodes of our podcast so far.<br />

When we first started the podcast, we brainstormed about some ideas<br />

that could help us during our podcast journey so we could have a<br />

clearer idea about what we should do when we are recording and how to<br />

stay calm.<br />

Do you want to know how we record our podcast? Well, here is our full<br />

podcast routine~ In the morning when we get to our class, we bring our<br />

computers, check in with the teacher to make sure that she/he knows we<br />

are here, then we go directly to Mr Brunet's office. When<br />

we arrive there, we head to the SE21 recording room (in the Senior<br />

<strong>School</strong> basement). Then our wonderful journey begins!<br />

Firstly, we make sure that the microphone that we are<br />

recording is directly facing us so that it can pick up our voices (talking)<br />

clearly. Then, we can start to record! When we record, we make sure that<br />

we are speaking clearly and we try to avoid background music such<br />

as fidgeting, laughing, and other people in the background speaking.<br />

After we record, Mr Brunet will edit the recording we made on<br />

Wednesday or Thursday. It is then ready to be published on Friday.<br />

We have all had a fun journey making our podcast so far.<br />

Sometimes we face challenges like people coming late or missing when<br />

we are about to record. But rather than complaining or waiting, we just<br />

get it started without the person and get one of the other members to<br />

say their lines for them.<br />

Also, we sometimes have problems with recording too, like<br />

the background noise, people saying their lines too quietly, but either<br />

way, we try our best for these to not happen. After all, we are still learning<br />

and making mistakes during our journey of learning!<br />

This is only the beginning of our adventure, and we cannot wait to face<br />

more challenges and overcome them! We can’t wait for our new year of<br />

podcasting!
