I'm working on the school podcast, the Extra-Curricular Activity I'm teaching this term. I've finished the artwork (pictured), though it may change, and I'm working on the theme music this afternoon. In the first meeting we had I got the students to record a few sound bites to go at the start and end of each episode; they went crazy for the whole recording process. I used my condenser microphone, something they've obviously never seen for real before, and gave them a script and said, "go".
It was funny to hear how nervous some of them got. I remember when I first tried to record myself, for some reason you can't help but talk different. Normally you just talk, not at something. As soon as you're aware your have to talk into something, everything you know about speech just goes out the window and you convince yourself you need to do something special. Nevertheless, they managed it, and it's sounding pretty good. We should have our first episode made in about 2 weeks.
