Get the answers to your most pressing podcasting questions

This is not an article about how to podcast, choose a microphone or set your audio levels.

This is about the real world of organizational podcasting, answering the most common questions asked by clients and other communicators.

Here they are, in no particular order:

Do I have a voice for podcasting?
The short answer is: Yes. You do not need a “radio” voice to be a podcaster. You do not need an NPR-style delivery. In fact, a slick tone may turn off listeners. Unless you have a serious speech impediment, your voice is totally fine for podcasting. Besides, there is a lot more to podcasting than a warm vocal tone and crystal-clear diction.

Can you research interesting topics? Can you do a good job interviewing people? Can you structure a compelling story? Can you engage your listeners?

Certainly, you can capitalize on your natural abilities by learning how to use your microphone properly and, if necessary, modulate your voice.
