What needs to be done in pre-production?

• Before you start recording you will need to do some pre-production work. Find of a subject that you will feel comfortable talking about for your first recording. You will need to write a script or at least have an outline of what you will be recording. I recommend doing this in Google Docs. To get into Google Docs, you will need to sign up for a Goggle account. Go to www.google.com and select the link: Get started.Once you have a Google account, go to My Account and look for Docs. I like Google Docs, because it is stored on the Google server and I can share the Doc with others for feedback. You can also use any word processor to create you script. When you are done writing you script, save it as a PDF, so that you can upload it to the Internet as a resource for others to download with your podcast. You may ask why would I do this when they have my podcast? Well, there are many types of learners listening to podcast and some of them many appreciate having a print version of your podcast.
• Collect all of you resources and add to you script. So any websites or papers you are referring to should be included in this script.
• Creating a good script will make your podcast sound more polished and professional, so take the time to sit down and collect your thoughts before pushing that record button.
• Now on to the fun stuff: recording your podcast.
