STEP ONE:

Follow these directions and sign up for a Podbean account. Make sure
you write down your login information.

You’re not uploading anything to Podbean today. You are just
creating the account.

STEP TWO

Before doing the following, refer to p. 14 in your
casebook. You should recognize p. 14.

1. Using your own podcast script, record a practice podcast. YOU ARE
NOT RECORDING YOUR 200 WORD BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION.

2. Record and listen to what you record. Record until you are happy
with what you’ve done.

3. Export your practice podcast as an .mp3 INTO YOUR FLASH DRIVE, ON
YOUR 105EXTRAS FOLDER.

4. Listen to BOTH your group members' podcasts and to your own
podcast.

YOU ARE POSTING ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INTO THE GROUP.

5. What did you think of your voice? Your group members' voices? Be
descriptive.

6. Have you heard yourself speak before? If so, where, if not, why
not?

7. Is there anything about your voice you don't like? You do like?
What about your partner's voice?

Everyone's podcasts should sound natural, as if s/he were having a
conversation with someone. The podcasts should NOT sound like the
material is being read directly from a script, nor should the
material
be speed delivered, nor should there be an overwhelming amount of
stumbling, stuttering, or tripping over words.

8. How important is voice delivery for a podcast?

9. How can your own apprehensions about your voice affect your
podcast?

10. What aspects of your voice will serve you well when you record
your
podcast? What about your group members' voices?

11. Those who are delivering a spoken message sometimes speed read
from their scripts, sound like they're reading directly from their
script, or stutter, stumble, and trip over their words. What is the
ONE thing that everyone can do that will prevent all of this from
happening?

MOST IMPORTANTLY:

1. Is your partner's podcast component AT LEAST three minutes and NO
MORE than four???? Specify the length.

5. i think that my voice was not the way i wanted it to be. I was
talking to fast or messing up words.
my group didn't have it done.

6.i have heard myself talk on the voice mail. i think that sounds
weird too.

7. i didn't like much about my voice, the only thing that i like about
when i was talking on the podcast was that i sounded happy.

8.i think the delivery of your voice on the podcast is very important
because the whole podcast is your voice and if someone listens to the
podcast and doesn't like what they hear they will not continue to
listen to it.

9.i think that if i think my voice sounds bad I'm going to think that
my podcast is bad and i will not try that hard and it could possibly
affect my podcast.

10.i think the part of my voice that will work for my podcast is that
i sound happy and maybe that will help people to want to listen to
it.

11.i think the main thing you can do is to keep practicing and
memorize it and be calm.

5. I thought my voice sounded funny and I hated hearing myself talk!
6. I've hear myself talk before on my voiemail.
7. I do like that its feminine.
8. Very nimportant, so you can understand what the person is saying.
9. If you're nervous you'll be able to hear a shaky voice.

5. I like the way that I sound in the podcast however it sounds almost
as if I have a lisp. Im not sure of thats because I was rather parched
when I recorded it but for the actual recording hopefully it wont be
there.
6. Yes I have heard myself speak before. A friend of mine is a media
law major and he had to make several videos of which I was the star.
I must say that i am never completely happy with how I sound on a
screen.
7. I need to make the podcast sound more fluent as if I am talking not
recording. The issue that I run into is that when I speak there is a
lot of emotion in my voice and that should be in the podcast. So I
have to find a balance in the middle somewhere.
8. The voice delivery is actually I feel almost more important than
whatever your reading. Good speakers make or break the speech
itself. Imagine is President Bush had been as great of a speaker as
say FDR or Lincoln, or for that matter Bill Pullman when he gives his
epic American Independence speech in Independence Day.
9. If you are nervous there is going to be a different tone or if you
think you sound nasally and high pitched you might try and correct
that.
10. I would say the best aspect would be that I am a good public
speaker so recording myself speaking shouldnt be a problem.
11. I would say if you memorize or commit your speech almost all the
way to knowledge you will adjust certain parts naturally making it
sound more fluent.

5. What did you think of your voice? Your group members' voices? Be
descriptive. I hate my voice I could not stand to listen to myself
especially when over speakers instead of headphones.

6. Have you heard yourself speak before? If so, where, if not, why
not? Yes, on home video from family get togethers.

7. Is there anything about your voice you don't like? You do like?
What about your partner's voice? I do not like the fact that I sound
like I drank to many tequila shots. I must say that my voice is deeper
than I thought, which is good I guess.

8. How important is voice delivery for a podcast? Extremely important
because the tone can determine whether or not some one will take you
seriously or not.

9. How can your own apprehensions about your voice affect your
podcast? Apprehensions and nervousness makes your voice sound shaky as
well as affect the tone of your voice.

10. What aspects of your voice will serve you well when you record
your podcast? What about your group members' voices? I think my voice
has a very serious tone to it since its deep which will help me
deliver the seriousness of my message.

11. Those who are delivering a spoken message sometimes speed read
from their scripts, sound like they're reading directly from their
script, or stutter, stumble, and trip over their words. What is the
ONE thing that everyone can do that will prevent all of this from
happening? Practice and pre-reading the material over and over and
over.

MOST IMPORTANTLY:
1. Is your partner's podcast component AT LEAST three minutes and NO
MORE than four???? Specify the length.
