Keys to Helping Podcast Clients Look and Sound GREAT!

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 Mastermind] (https://episodes.fm/1504333792) --- [Rate and Review the Podcast Editors Mastermind] (https://lovethepodcast.com/pem) --- [Leave text or voice feedback] (https://castfeedback.com/pem) 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.

How Patrick Keller Made the Leap from Education to Podcast Editing

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 Mastermind] (https://episodes.fm/1504333792) --- [Rate and Review the Podcast Editors Mastermind] (https://lovethepodcast.com/pem) --- [Leave text or voice feedback] (https://castfeedback.com/pem) 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! Stick with us as we dive deeper with Patrick, exploring everything from audio mishaps to eerie paranormal podcasting. Whether you are an experienced editor or simply curious, there is some valuable advice for you here. Alright, let’s get rolling! Key Discussion Points --------------------- ---How the switch to podcast editing was a breath of fresh air ---How Patrick is streamlining his workflows ---The value of structure and processes ---The need for speed!

Buckle up because today, we're diving into team building with our special guest Darrell Darnell from Pro Podcast Solutions.

As you might imagine, Darrell has picked up a few things over the past 11 years. Stick around as we dig into the ins and outs of working with contractors across the cosmos, hiring practices that allow him to choose his Jedi Knights well, and navigating the treacherous waters of Imperial laws and tax advisors.

Do Podcast Editors Need a Portfolio to Wow Prospective Clients?

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. Let's hit play on this treasure trove of insights! Episode Notes: https://podcasteditorsmastermind.com/episode/pem089-portfolios Listen to Discover ------------------ ---The challenges an audio-first medium faces when creating a portfolio. ---Why we need to be super choosy about what we put into our portfolios. ---One creative way to showcase your work WITHOUT highlighting client mistakes. ---A potential SEO strategy you might be able to use. ---What Steve Stewart says might be more valuable than a portfolio. ---How we incorporated a bit of AI into creating this episode. :) Links And Resources ------------------- --- [Podchaser - Bryan Entzminger] (https://toptieraudio.com/podchaser) - Bryan shared how the link to Podchaser includes EVERYTHING you're credited with. Not just your editing work. --- [Podchaser - Steve Stewart] (https://stevestewart.me/podchaser) - Steve Stewart shared the link to his Podchaser credits. This is one way to give people a taste of the work you've done. --- [EXAMPLES | protechmusic.com] (https://www.protechmusic.com/examples) - These are the audio examples that Tim shared. We discussed them in the episode. --- [Podcast Editors Mastermind Group] (https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcasteditorsmastermind/posts/1164804461556261/) - Our recent Facebook discussion about portfolios. And while we waxed poetic about demos, portfolios, platforms, and the cheeky antique key conundrum (got any ideas on that?), we didn't dive into a long list of tools this time. We focused more on the "how" and "why" behind showcasing your mad editing skills. If you're hyperventilating because you expected some software name-dropping, don't fret! A previous brain-picking might have just what you need – check out our [episodes archive] (https://podcasteditorsmastermind.com/) or our [Facebook group] (https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcasteditorsmastermind/) for those nitty-gritty details. Keep those ears sharp and your sense of humor sharper, and remember to only share the work you have rights to. Legal oopsies are no joke!

Jesse McCune is Creating a Supportive Community for Aspiring Podcast Editors

In a world where Jesse McCune's career in facility maintenance seemed light years away from his true passion, an unexpected twist brought him closer than ever to his dream. Little did he know that a conversation with his wife would ignite a fire within him, leading him down a path he never anticipated. With a burning desire to combine his audio expertise with a viable business opportunity, Jesse embarked on a journey that would reveal the untapped potential of the podcasting world. But as he delved deeper, he uncovered a gap in resources that left him craving more. Little did he know, this was just the beginning of a remarkable adventure filled with self-discovery and triumph. Listen to Discover ------------------ ---Strategies to overcome the challenges of meeting client expectations and learn how to effectively communicate your editing process. ---The importance of clear and open communication in podcast editing for stronger client relationships and better outcomes. ---One key thing that we bring to the table as podcast editors that AI can't replicate. Learning how to listen to people, to truly understand their nuances and capture their voices, is key in podcast editing. Our brains are powerful at picking up subtle details, so it's important to pay attention to those small breaths and pauses that make a dialogue authentic. - Jesse McCune The episode underscores the critical significance of effective communication while dealing with clients. Jesse's experiences with his clients demonstrate the need for transparent, open discussions, especially when it comes to explaining technicalities like audio quality. This could help mitigate issues arising from unrealistic expectations and solidify a healthy editor-client relationship. About Jesse McCune ------------------ Jesse McCune is a podcast editor with a passion for music production and audio engineering. Jesse developed an interest in audio and taught himself music production and audio engineering. This (with some prompting from his wife) led him to discover podcast editing. Jesse created Tansy Aster Academy because he couldn't find enough helpful resources for podcast editors. The Academy is a community where editors can get guidance and support from each other. Through Tansy Aster Academy, Jesse's team offers an interactive learning experience for editors looking to level up their skills in podcast production as well as business.
