Are your podcast clients getting bad audio and video from themselves or their guests? We share tips on how to address the issue, whether you're there to help them or not. Episode Notes: https://podcasteditorsmastermind.com/episode/keys-to-helping-podcast-clients-look-and-sound-great Follow the Podcast Editors MastermindRate and Review the Podcast Editors MastermindLeave text or voice feedback We're sharing some of the keys to helping your podcast clients sound and look great. It might feel uncomfortable initially, but it offers great benefits for your clients, their audience, and you. We'll explore how to help them create a good recording space for success, whether it's an audio studio or a video set. Then we'll talk about the thing we ALL love to obsess over - the GEAR! Of course, it doesn't stop there, because having a great studio with great gear won't get the results your clients are looking for if they don't use it right. Or if they let their guests set the standard for what should be considered "good." Editors can assist by encouraging clients to speak up if guests aren't performing well or by stepping in for the host during live recordings.

Ever wonder what a podcast editor's life looks like? Patrick spills the beans on how he swapped lesson plans for audio timelines. Episode Notes: https://podcasteditorsmastermind.com/episode/patrick-keller-made-the-leap-from-education-to-podcast-editing Follow the Podcast Editors MastermindRate and Review the Podcast Editors MastermindLeave text or voice feedback Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! We're here with a fresh story from the editing trenches. We're shining the spotlight on Patrick Keller, a retired music teacher who’s now orchestrating the world of podcast editing. Imagine going from teaching vocals and piano to slicing and dicing audio waves – that’s Patrick for you! He started his new career by working on a lot of podcast episodes that still needed editing. He quickly learned a lot, trying out different things like organizing guests and doing live shows. But here's the catch - Patrick mostly taught himself how to edit, relying a lot on plugins that, to be honest, sometimes don't work well. With tools like RXConnect and Reaper, he now faces the challenges of audio editing without the instant feedback provided by old plugins. And talking about feedback, you won't believe where some of his adjustments originate from - a car test!

Hey there, fellow audio wizards! Get ready to have your mind filled with golden nuggets of podcast editing wisdom in this latest chat we stitched together for you. Jennifer and Bryan have been in the trenches, debating if the magic of our editing hands needs a showcase or if word-of-mouth does the trick. Spoiler alert: we don't exactly hear ear-to-ear on this (see what we did there?). While Bryan is all for flaunting your audio flair, Jennifer’s got a point — some clients care more about the whisper of a solid testimonial than a flashy edited collage. We’ll dive deep into the world of demo reels, those pesky legal bits to think about before using your work as samples, and that headache-inducing task of updating your website. We might even shed light on why you should swap that "Hire me!" page for Jesse McCune's suggestion for something different. So buckle up, pour a fresh cup of joe, and let's chop it up, editor to editor. And as always, we've got some laughs in store because, let's be honest, life's too short for dull conversations.
