Is That Really MY Voice?

So creating a podcast was a little more complicated than I thought. Once again I thought almost everything in this course was going to be easy peasy lemony squeezy and yet I am proven wrong. The creation process is very involved and does not always require one step. Each assignment thus far has shown me that there are several steps and many tasks to accomplish before going on to the next level. The podcast is an example of this discovery. I used Audacity to create my podcast but be sure that you also download the Lame encoder or else all the hard work you have put into your project will NOT pay off.If you are indeed interested in making your own podcast (which is REALLY cool), check out this tutorial offered by Audacity.

Some useful things to do with podcasts in library youth services:
-Record your own storytelling.
-Create Book Talks to intrigue young readers.
-Make podcast tutorials for:
- Teaching the Dewey Decimal System
- Educating on proper citations - Database training
- Webinars

I suggest just trying to create a Book Talk for your first podcast and see what you can make of it. Even if you do not like the sound of your own voice you can get someone else to read what you wrote and still create a podcast.

Happy recording!
