Living an active lifestyle is very important to me. So I thoroughly enjoyed being able to express my passion towards this. Through creating this motivational and informative podcast, I have learned a lot about the production of podcasts, but I have also learned a lot about myself. At times, I felt frustrated as I am very new to creating media, but I am also new to the application ‘Audacity’, which I used to create this podcast. When I was recording my podcast I felt nervous, even though I was just by myself. I found myself stuttering at words and couldn’t put a sentence together. After about 25 takes, I finally pulled through with the final product, ready to attach to my audacity file. Although my podcast only runs for just over 4 minutes, I spent over a week working on the production of this. This included; finding an upbeat, motivational song for my introduction, converting my Mp3 voice recording file to a WAV file, merging both pieces of media together, whilst learning to use tools such as fading in and out, Finding an image to use as my thumbnail which represented the meaning of my podcast well, exporting my file to my newly created SoundCloud account, and finally, attaching it to this blog post. Over the past week or so I have learned so many skills in this area and I am proud so of what I have achieved. I was persistent and determined to create a great podcast that reflected a great passion of mine.
