Transcripts
1. Intro: Hi I'm Jordan. So
there are a lot of podcast episodes out there
on the Internet millions. They blew up after Sarah any created serial and they have not slowed
down ever since. It can be nearly impossible to stand
out amongst the noise, but it is not
entirely impossible, especially if you're already
a sound or music person. If you're a music person, then you have the advantage, you know what the
ear loves to hear, and you can create it. So today we are going to make
the perfect podcast episode that's going to
allow you to stand out whenever you are
ready to make your own. We will start by
writing our script. I'll be writing mine
using generative AI, but you can write
yours yourself. Then we are going to
record ourselves. We will also source the
perfect sound effects. We will also compose an exciting score that matches
the tone of our podcast. We're going to create a theme. Here's something that
most podcasts don't have. And that's a theme that is
distinct and unique to them, that people will get
to know over time and associate with them and help them to connect
with your podcast. We're going to layer that
theme throughout the episode so that it becomes more strongly imprinted
on people's minds. There's a way to do it so
that it is nice and strong, and clear, and not
too repetitive. Then by the end, we will
have created a lovely, succinct, really
nice podcast episode that is thematically strong
and more importantly, memorable and easy to listen to. We'll be using some of
my favorite plug ins so you can get some ideas
about what I like to use. And we'll be sourcing for
my favorite Foley website. So my name is Jordan. I am a producer and
composer of music. And today we'll be making the perfect podcast
episode that will get your podcast and career
off to an exciting start. So let's get started, shall we?
2. Writing (Generating) & Recording the Podcast: Let's get started with the
world famous Chat GPT. So I have 3.5 but you can pay money to
get four if you want. For those who are initiated
to get started with Chat GPT, you just need to go to Chat
Openai.com and register. You can just sign in with Google and that's
enough to get started. And once you have an account, you can use it for free
up to a certain point, or you can pay money to
get more access and to write longer essays and
articles and things like that. Okay, so let's get
started down here. We're going to
just message chat, GPT, whatever we want. So I'm going to write a podcast script about
a murder gone wrong. That just took a little moment. Wow, it's even telling us where to put in
our sound effects. I don't like that there's
characters meet Sarah and John, that sounds not for me. I love that to put in where
it wants us to put the music. That's very cool and
the sound effects. This seems more like
an audio drama. Which why not? Sounds good, but not for me. Let's not call it
a podcast script. This is a thing with Chachi Put. Generally, the people
that rely on it put in a ton of prompts until
they get what they want. Write a story, We first. No, what about a real event? Write an account of
what's something real? Write an account of
the fall of Enron. Write a dramatic
account of the fall of Enron. That's pretty cool. That's cool. I like that. I don't think I like the idea of all of those sound effects. But it doesn't matter because chat PT isn't the
boss where the boss. So we'll do whatever
we want. Okay, cool. I'm going to use this
and I'm going to record myself saying
it exactly like this. The key to a good
podcast reading is to take it slow, take your time, hit the important
notes of the words, the important sections,
all of the details. Emphasize them, but don't
go too over dramatic. Remember that you've
got your sound effects and your music
that's going to take the drama to the next
level, to low key. And no one will think
that what you're saying is serious, too dramatic, and people will
think you're lying, or that it's just
overblown, shall we say? I've got my script
right here copied into into my pages file
over here on Ableton. I'm going to enable
record right here. Test, test, test, test, test, test, test it. Get in the zone. Get
in the zone, Okay. In the heart of Houston, Texas, during the late 1990s, a titan of the energy
industry stood tall, casting its shadow of a Wall Street and
Main street alike. This was Enron Corporation, once hailed as an emblem of
innovation and prosperity. But destined to become
synonymous with greed, deception, and one of the most spectacular corporate
collapses in history. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. Its executives led by the charismatic and
ambitious Kenneth Lay, and the dynamic Jeffrey Skilling pioneered a new era
of energy trading. Leveraging complex
financial instruments to exploit deregulation and maximize profits with
each passing quarter. Enron's financial
reports painted a rosy picture of unprecedented
growth and profitability. Investors, analysts and
the media marveled at Enron's seemingly
unstoppable ascent driving its stock price
to dizzying heights. But beneath the
glossy facade lurked a web of deceit and
financial manipulation. Enron's executives, driven by insatiable greed and an
insatiable desire for power, employ dubious
accounting practices to conceal staggering losses
and inflate earnings. Whistleblowers who
dared to question the company's ethics were silenced or ignored
their warnings, Drowned out by a roar of Enron's propaganda machine re record that boot
whistleblowers who dared to, whistleblowers who
dared to question the company's ethics
were silenced or ignored their warnings drowned out by the roar of Enron's
propaganda machine. Sounds more real. As cracks began to appear
in Enron's facade. Panic grip to Wall
Street investors once enamored with the company's promise
of endless growth, now fled in droves, sending Enron's
stock into freefall. In December 2001, Enron
filed for bankruptcy, marking the largest
corporate collapse in American history. Up to that point, thousands
of employees lost their jobs, pensions, and life savings, while investors were left holding worthless
stock certificates. The fall of Enron sent shockwaves through the
global financial system, exposing deep seated flaws
in corporate governance, regulatory oversight,
and ethical standards. It shattered the illusion
of invincibility that had surrounded Enron
and its executives. Serving as a cautionary tale, serving as a cautionary
tale of the dangers of unchecked corporate power
and unchecked greed. Today, the name Enron serves as a stark reminder of the
consequences of hubers, greed and moral bankruptcy. It stands as a testament
to the fragility of trust and the importance
of transparency, accountability, and integrity
in the world of business. Okay, wait, stop recording. What's important is that you notice that between
each paragraph, there was a lot of pause. This is just makes
the editing process easier. I have more options. How far or do I
want to space them? Maybe I want to make
them even further apart. Maybe I want to make them
much closer together. Always go back to
the start of pause. If you're recording something, not necessarily the start
of the paragraph again, but at least part of
that segment where you had a pause that you
can add a cut more easily. When it comes to editing,
what's important when you're recording is that
you're the editing life, the editing version of giving them an easier time, I guess. All right, we should make
some music for this. Let's do that.
3. Sourcing Foley (Sound Effects): For the sound effects portion of the instructions written
for us by Chat GPT. I am over here on Zapsplat.com Zapsplat.com is a great place to get foley sound effects
at the right price, which is free, unless you want to upgrade
to a gold account. On a free account, you can download as many sound
effects as you want. You can use them for
whatever you want. The website just asks that
you credit them that you don't download above
a certain amount in a certain amount of time. Which right now is, I believe, three sound effects
every 10 minutes. They say that that's to preserve the strength of their bandwidth. As long as you don't
need to download more than three every 10 minutes and you're happy to credit them, then you don't need
to pay any money. However, you can pay
an annual amount, which I believe right now
is 40 pounds per year, 40 British pounds per year. If you're happy to pay
for the gold account, you can download as
many as you want. You can also download at a
higher quality free accounts, downloaded MP Three quality. You can download above
that if you are paying. You can download as
frequently as you want, as many times within 10
minutes as you like. Best of all, um, there are some sound effects that are just for gold members, so you can get some better ones. I can see on our instructions, it says Sound of a
busy trading floor. For that I've put in people
talking, I search for that. We can see here the ones that are up here are just
for the gold members. See, I really like that one and it's just
for gold members. See, you get locked out
of your favorite ones. You can just keep
searching though. Look at that. I thought
that one sounded good. Then it's called art gallery
and that one's free. See, I like that
one and it's free. Look, wave file, I
guess they must have changed their mind because wave files are
available for free. Well, I have a gold account, maybe I'm seeing wave because
I have a gold account. You maybe we'll just see NB three if you're
doing it for free. I'm going to grab wave. What I'm going to do is I'm going to combine that one and
that one together. But I still want walking. I want general walking. The sound of high heels on a hard surface would solidify the office
sound that I'm going for. Let's say high heels because the first one sounds very restaurant and the second
one sounds very carnivals. Here, we're going for free. Oh, it's a single single that's not bad. A lot of hum in the background
though, also not bad. This one sounds like
it might be better though and I was wrong. So it's a lot of,
um, trial and error. That's not bad. Download. I can just download
just a bunch. It's asking for pen scribbling. Gosh, I wonder if they
have that writing. It also wants
Applause Shredding. That's not bad. Not
bad. I'll grab it. They want papers being shredded. They want Applause Applause It's not going to
be hard to find. I assume be funny if that was the one that we
couldn't find this website. It's been really, really
great. Oh, another thing. If you pay for gold, you
don't have to credit them. That's pretty cool.
Oh, eight people. Yeah, that's great.
See any podcast, any podcast could benefit
from this website. That kind of sound effect is never going to get used
in a high budget movie. But it's just the
perfect quality and general sound that
a podcast could use. In my opinion, you
can't go wrong. You're going to pay
a lot more than that for the
mainstream services. Definitely shredding paper, so noisy. But yeah, that's
exactly what we want. Okay, so I'm going
to download a few more of what we need. It says here, gavel, banging, chaos and panic, Wind, blowing, sad music. Well, we can make
our own sad music. All right, let's chuck
it all over to Ableton.
4. Composing Our Theme: We need some theme. Music Badly. Now for a podcast, we need to make sure we keep
things nice and simple. Whoops. Wrong button. Oh, no way, it was
the right button. Okay, for this, we're
going to need some piano. I'm going to put on originals. Intimate grand piano,
which if you've watched any of those classes
before, you'll know that. I love, it's very cheap. I think it's 30 bucks and
it's a half that if you're a student, spit fire audio. Sorry, it took me a second.
Gosh, my brain turned off. Okay. What key do
we want this in? Well, it's a podcast and it's not a particularly
happy one. Let's say E minor. Why did I pick that key? Major key means very general, but major means,
minor means sad. Obviously, it's more
complicated than that. Minor is just a really beautiful
minor key to compose in. Let's start with
our first chord. Great, Easy, how
does that sound? I still have my voice on
turn that goodness me, that needs a serious reverb. Now, obviously you heard at the end of that
piano Sound there's an artificial noise that happens to make it sound
more like a real piano. I don't want that.
I'm going to turn it off and off and reverb up. Not bad. We can improve
that with another app. With another plug in, sorry. Okay, we want a richer chord, so we're going to
put on the E that is below this, down here. Maybe we'll add the D as well. All right, that's quite nice. Let's just make a call
progression, shall we? We'll just copy this chord
and paste it over here. We want that mysterious unusual sound a little bit higher. One lower again,
maybe two lower. See with these blue turned on. So what I've done is I've
picked a key, sorry. And only the blue ones
are within the key. So I can make sure I move a note if it falls
out of the key range. Cool, a little bit Strange. Strange isn't always so bad. That's heaps better.
Heaps better, Okay, so I'm going to
copy and paste them over. I will lift the
third one up a bit higher because I just
think it'll sound, um, a bit more dramatic. If the third one is higher, then for the fourth one, I'm literally just going
to do my favorite thing, which is to in which should be fine. I was just thinking
about it like, will it sound all
right, inverted? For that, I just need to
drag everything down to the exact same note but lower. The only problem with this
chord is it sounds so final. It sounds like
everything is resolved. We don't want that.
We want people like, no, keep listening. All right, I'm going to
take out the middle notes. Now this is a weird thing to do, but this is something that is really nice to do when you're making something
that's a theme, basically by taking out
these middle notes. Mystifying whether
it's a major or minor, we're adding some intrigue. It creates a extra
layer of mystery. I would never do this for like a proper song or even for
a soundtrack for things. But it's a theme for a
podcast or overall going for my questions like, why?
What's going to happen? Keep listening. It might add an extra extra
layer of suspense. Let's hear what
that sounds like. See how it's also a
lot cleaner as well. It's so strange every
time I invert cords, I used to invert
cords and love it right away and now I do it
and I don't like it so much. Maybe I'm getting more
boring as I get older. What I've just dragged
on is Val Supermassive. This is my favorite
plug in free. And it's got a bunch of great presets which I really like. We are star dust is what
they're famous for. That's a great humongous reverb, which is really nice for
anything that you want to play while you're
relaxing or meditating. All right, perfection for this. I'm going to add my all
time favorite instrument, which is the Obo. For Obo, I think that I had to buy the BBC Symphony
Orchestra to get that one. This is what I would consider
an expensive plug in, in that it's over
$100 I know for a lot of people that's like
what? That's so cheap. People spend thousands
of dollars on plug ins, but you know, spend
what you will, of course, if you've
got the money. But otherwise, for me, for my opinion, that's,
oh, it's so much money. But anyway, this is
expensive plug in, but it's really worth it. And it goes on
sale all the time. I really get a lot
of value out of it. So we're outside of
the Obo's range. Let's go down. Great. We never want the Obo doing any
notes that are too short. Well, that's just my opinion,
you know what I mean? I'm going to make this
a little bit random. I need a kind of hook, a kind of easy simple theme that the oboe can play.
And then the oboe. Not necessarily the oboe, but we can come back and replay this theme at various points. We can make shorter and longer
versions of this theme. We can use other instruments. We're trying to create the
podcasts little sound, little theme that can crop
back up at different points. We don't go too long ride. This needs a plug in obviously. I mean, who needs a
re not as strong, as strong as a shorter one? Great and lower, maybe just a little bit lower.
Staying within the key. You don't have to stay within the key when you
compose what I like to, especially for themes
and anything I don't, I don't want to add any extra uncomfortability
than what I want. I want the audience
uncomfortable within my control. I thought shortening the length there might be nice,
but it wasn't. Oh, maybe that D was quite nice. Maybe that D on two
levels would be nice. Good again, except
it was too short. It just feels. But then if that D is now going to
sound really weird, well, unless it can cut it off and get away with it, actually. That's nice. Okay, maybe we want to record
ourselves a little intro. Yeah, I think I'll just throw in, what do we want to call it? Welcome to the Corporate Veil. Today's subject,
the Fall of Enron, something like that.
I'll throw that in here.
5. Fixing the Audio & Adding the Foley: Now we're going to use plug
ins to clean up our audio. You can do all of this manually. I encourage you to do so
if you would like to, but I find it takes forever. I don't particularly enjoy it. I'm just going to loop
a particular part of my voice to use as my
guide for all of it. Enron's rise to power. Okay. I have a few waves plug
ins that I really like. All of them are under $100
maybe around $30 each. Hard to say because things
go on sale all the time. Things change price, especially
when they get older, other competitors come in, things tend to get cheaper
or they get more expensive. If they get trendy, they're all around $30 when
I bought them. Here are my main stays. I've got reverb, very simple. It does a lot of
jobs that you would do yourself with an EQ. It does it all for you, like multiple, multiple
things at once. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. Its executives led by the charismatic and ambitious,
Kenneth Lay. Enron's rise to power was meteoric. Its executives led by the charismatic and ambitious
Kenneth Lay. Enron's rise to power was meteoric. Its executives led by the charismatic and ambitious Kenneth Lay Enron's
rise to power. Can you hear what it's done? It's, it's taken off this kind
of extra like sloppiness. It's just tightened the sound. So if I turn it off, Enron's
rise to power was meteoric. It's executives led by the
charismatic and ambitious, Kenneth Lay Enron's
rise to power. It's just an extra level of
room tone taken out of it. Okay, reverb is put on. All right, Next
one here we have. Well, it's just basically
waves equivalent to a gait. This will be important because I'm not sure
if you noticed, but the whole time
I was recording, my cats are running around, so that's super annoying. I'm just going to gate it up. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. It's executives led by the charismatic and
ambitious Kenneth Lay. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. It's executives led by the charismatic and
ambitious Kenneth Lay. All right, that should
take care of it, but I'll know later if
that hasn't done enough. And then lastly,
we've got clarity. Clarity is my favorite. Alright, cool. So have a listen. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. It's executives led by the charismatic and
ambitious Kenneth Lay. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. Its executives led by the charismatic and
ambitious Kenneth Lay. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. Its executives led by the charismatic and
ambitious Kenneth Lay. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. Its executives led by the charismatic and
ambitious, Kenneth Lay. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. Its executives led by the
charismatic and ambitious. Okay, cool. So D reverb VX and
a gate all put together just tightens up the sound does some
equalizing for us. Yeah, just makes it
a bit more clean. Easy to listen to. Okay,
welcome to the corporate veil. Today's subject, Enron,
and it's colossal fall. See nice. Don't have any of that room. Noise Don't have
any of those cats. All right, let's arrange
this with the theme. The theme goes first, and
I'm going to put this in here. Turn them off. Welcome to the corporate veil. Today's subject run and
it's colossal fall. Not bad, they're just too loud. So I just need to
turn them down. Don't need to hurt, add
the automation, I think. Just straight up down. Welcome. Welcome to the corporate veil. Today's subject run,
and it's colossal fall. In the height of Houston, Texas during the late 1990s, a Titan of the energy
industry stood tall. All right, great. I like to
let that reverb tale run out before I get
the talking going. Just like lets the audience
breathe for a moment, you know that'll also be a great place to
put your sponsor in, right there if
you're so inclined. Okay, what have we got? Sound of busy trading that goes, spectacular, corporate
collapse in history. I'm just going to follow
the instructions. This was Enron Corporation, once hailed as an emblem of
innovation and prosperity, but destined to become
synonymous with greed, deception, and one of the most spectacular corporate
collapses in history. Great. Still got
that on. All right. Turn that off. Give the sound
effect a moment. All right. I'm just going to drag that
bad boy in, which was people. Okay, here we go. Collapses, corporate
collapses in history. I'm just going to
see this over here. Over so that it fades up. And one of the most spectacular corporate collapses in history. I actually, I actually grabbed a phone so I can put my own
phone ringing in there. I'm just going to
click this, right click, insert audio track, and we're going to need
about 30 dozen more of those phone ringing. There it is, history. Enron's rise to power. Great. Oops, Cancel.
Don't do that. Notice I had to tell Enron's
rise to power was meteoric. All right. That's super natural. Enron's? Yeah, just two is okay. I just pressed a
control E to cut that. I'm going to fade
it out this way. Enron's rise. There we go. Welcome with
audio, not with Miti. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. Maybe a longer fade out. I don't want it to
be too unnatural. Enron's rise to
power was meteoric. Its executives led by the charismatic and
ambitious, Kenneth Lay, and the dynamic Jeffrey Skilling pioneered a new era
of energy trading, leveraging complex financial
instruments to exploit deregulation and
maximize profits. I'll bring this back in and add the scribbling over top because it wants me
to put in pen scribbling. But I don't want that by itself because
that'll sound weird. Whoops. All right, that's quite a
short side effect. I don't have to
drag it that far. Maximize profits with
each passing quarter. Enron's financial
reports painted a rosy picture that can
be shorter as well. Enron's financial
reports painted a rosy picture of unprecedented
growth and profitability. Investors, analysts, the media marveled at Enron's seemingly
unstoppable ascent, driving at stop price
to dizzying heights. That's where our applause
goes by the way. I'm pressing command
E every time I want to cut it and then
I'm dragging it across. Let's get that clap in there. Yeah, we're so happy over here. See, it's an audio file, so I've got these
dots over here, and I can just drag it across
to get that clap faded out. Dizzying heights
beneath the glossy man, I should have done load a chair. I think a chair
would go well here. Yeah, money. But beneath the
glossy facade lurked a web of deceit and
financial manipulation. Enron's executives, driven by insatiable greed and an
insatiable desire for power, employ dubious
accounting practices to conceal staggering losses
and inflate earnings. I think something goes
there. Inflate earnings. That's the paper shredder here. I'm going to chop off the
front bit by dragging it. Inflate, oh my God, it's so loud. Inflate earnings. Whistleblowers who dared to question the company's ethics. Actually, I don't
like that. So I'm going to shorten this gap here. I'm going to drag it
on either side and then have my voice
just go in quicker. And inflate earnings, whistleblowers who
dared to question the company's ethics were silenced or ignored
their warnings, drowned out by the roar of
Enron's propaganda machine. Do we have a sound for that? Chaos and panic. What a weird
spot for chaos and panic. I mean, I like it because I got a cool panic sound
and I got a siren, so I'm very excited to use
particularly the siren sound. I'm going to drag that in. I'll have them going
at the same time. I got to fade it up though. Probably won't
fade up the siren, so I'll just let it go
from the beginning on. Oh, don't forget that fade. Oh, it's turned down already. On propaganda Machine. Ah, I got to be careful
with my volumes. I just realized I'm
only using two stems. If I dragged the volume for one, I drag it
for the others. Yeah. Don't be a crazy person. Ganda machine, I will give
the siren its own track. How about that? There we go. And then that way I can
turn it all the way down. Ganda machine, that's warping. So when you hear
the sound and it sounds completely wrong,
like that, click it, go down to here,
see uncheck, warp. It's basically changing
itself to your BPM. If it sounds weird, don't panic. Don't jump into Google,
what's going on? That's what's going
on. Ganda machine, that's probably
good. Fade that out. Fade out the people
get myself in there. As cracks began to appear
in Enron's facade, panic gripped Wall
Street investors once enamored with the company's promises
of endless growth, now fled in droves, sending Enron stock
into freefall. Only one more gavel, banging, I'll get that gavel
in there into freefall into free fall, I will drag that up. Whoops. Oh my gosh. I keep doing that in my
hands are crazy today. Freefall in December 2001, Enron filed for
bankruptcy marking the latest corporate collapse
in America's history. Great importance
of transparency, integrity in the world of
business. That's the end. I will bring across our theme
again and have it play out.
6. Layering a Theme: Had originally thought, why not just play the beginning
theme again for the end. But then I thought, now
that's going to sound wrong. I'm going to create a
few new middy stems. I wanted to still have
an open ended finish. I don't want to, I don't want to rework the chord so that they
sound like it's all over. Even though it is all over,
I want to give the feeling that there's more to come because we want
people to keep listening. I'm going to first put
instruments on there. Of course, piano again, I turned off the hammers
last time I increase the reverb, I added hala. Which one was it? It was large. I think it was seams. Then for this one, I put on the oboe Ma, it was that holds. Okay. It's, it's a different, I'll turn these versions. The importance of more, the importance of,
the importance of transparency,
accountability, and integrity. Maybe I'll cut those cords off. So it's just the obo
finishing it out. The importance of man, it's got to be really quiet, importance of transparency,
accountability, and integrity in the
world of business. No, what are you guys
still doing here? That's why it was so
loud. Oh my gosh. Silliness and the
importance of transparency, accountability, and integrity
in the world of business. See that's a much better finish than repeating it. Exactly. Agility of trust and the
importance of transparency, accountability, and integrity
in the world of business. Yeah, that's a great finish. Oh my God. Turning
it down, down, down. It's not making any difference
because these ones are still up here. Unbelievable. The fall of Enron sent
shockwaves through. What I was talking about
before about repeating themes is bringing themes back
into your podcast, recurring during
those quiet moments that it just bolsters
your unique signature, the unique aspect of your
podcast, that's all your own. You can have it come back, but what's really cool is
if you bring it back with different instruments
and you bring it back subtly and in a
way they don't expect. Maybe we copy these down here. We bring it back with
something unexpected. Maybe this one, I'm not sure
if I'll keep the piano. This is labs, everything
in labs is free. This is also spit fire. I love the mandolin. I think it sounds amazing. Life savings while investors were left holding
worthless, Okay. Big reverb on, that
would be lovely. Life saving. Bigger. Oh who? I put it there. Whoops. I thought, gee, that's subtle. Life savings while investors were left holding
worthless stock. I still needs a piano. I'll put those chords on. And life savings. Nice
and quiet though. And life savings while investors were left holding worthless
stock certificates. The fall of Enron sent shockwaves through the
global financial system, exposing deep seated
flaws in corporate. I think I'll do
these piano still, but I'll just lower the octave. It'll just enrich it a bit more and add that difference
that I'm looking for. Just drag it down. There we go. Same chords, lower
octave pensions, and life savings while investors were left holding
worthless stock certificates. The fall of Enron sent shockwaves through the
global financial system, exposing deep seated flaws
in corporate governance, regulatory oversight,
and ethical standards. I think I'll repeat it
twice, It's quite nice, suits it, and I wish it could
end with a sound effect. Then it would unchecked
corporate power and unchecked greed today. Ending with greed
is really nice. Lost their jobs, pensions, and life savings while investors were left holding
worthless stock certificates. The fall of venue. See adding those pauses
while you record. It's really nice
so that you have options for yourself
so that you can lengthen or shorten what you're talking about
in the moment. And so that you can
add sound effects and so that you
can play and chop, especially if
you've made lots of mistakes as I tend to do bar. It's also really nice
in times like this, it's not silent, but it's got a gate on it so no
one will ever know. But it's great because it's a still moment when this music can play
and just kind of have its moment Dock certificates,
the fall of Enron. It's so great. And if you've got
a recurring theme, that's your podcast
theme, no one else's. And it comes back like this and then it comes back over
multiple episodes. And maybe in the future
multiple tempos. Like you have a more exciting, more fast paced episode that
comes back faster paced, maybe with an electric
guitar one time. Just something like that.
It's going to create a real, just strong identity for your podcast that separates
it from everybody else's. So yeah, definitely do that trust and the
importance of transparency, accountability, and integrity
in the world of business. There you go. By just putting
in this level of effort, you can separate yourself from the vast majority of
podcasts out there, like 99%
7. And There You Have It: There you have it.
The perfect podcast. If I were to fully make this podcast episode
all the way to the end, I think I would
write my own script. I think Chat GPT is an
exciting tool and resource, but I'm not fully confident in its ability to write a script that is
going to grip people. That's just my opinion. I
would want to write my script myself except for that I'm very happy with the
theme that we came up with. I would definitely repeat it more often if the
script were longer. That script was only a
few minutes because it was for demonstrating
my intentions. But for a full
episode I would want to script that ran
about half an hour. In that sense, I would repeat
the theme more often and create more of those still moments for the theme
to shine inside of. Yeah, I'm very happy with how the plug in
sounded for the voice. I think it was great. I think
it was a good few minutes. Just extend what you learned all the way out
to full half an hour. And there you have it. That's
a full podcast episode. I really hope you
enjoyed yourself. Please rate your experience here on skill share
with a review. I would really appreciate it. You can start
discussion by asking a question or leaving
some feedback up to you. Why not stick around and watch
some more of my classes? I've got one on music theory. If you are completely confused
about the music element, I've got one on getting
started as a music producer. Also got some on
composing for film, animation, video games,
stuff like that. Thank you so much for coming. I hope you had a blast. If you do make a
podcast episode, please link it in the projects part of
the Skillshare page. I would love to listen
to your podcast. I actually listen to podcasts
every single day as it is. If you give me yours, I will add that into my rotation and give you my feedback. Thank you again so
much for coming, and I hope you have an
exciting, wonderful week.
