- 1:13Speaker 1: helping up and coming podcasters to have the right information
- 1:16Speaker 1: about hosting as well as surviving that idea when fifty
- 1:20Speaker 1: four episodes before adopting a new idea, bring the podcasters in,
- 1:26Speaker 1: let them share their own stories. The purpose of podcrashing
- 1:31Speaker 1: one on one is to help you build your own platform,
- 1:35Speaker 1: to promote it, and maybe even earn some money. My
- 1:39Speaker 1: name is Arrow, Episode number four hundred fifty one. Morning
- 1:44Speaker 1: voice or trying to podcast while using a voice that
- 1:48Speaker 1: sounds like you're coming down with a bad cold. There
- 1:51Speaker 1: are pros and cons that do have a big effect
- 1:54Speaker 1: on the impact that you have posted as a presentation
- 1:56Speaker 1: on your podcast. Let us cover the pros first. In
- 2:00Speaker 1: terrestrial radio, I live for those days when I got
- 2:03Speaker 1: to use a morning voice because it's thicker, it's lower
- 2:06Speaker 1: in tone, and it carries a sense of creative control.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Yet if you add a normal job and Johnny down
- 2:12Speaker 1: the street came in with that voice, you would think,
- 2:14Speaker 1: oh my god, stay away from him, he's coming down
- 2:16Speaker 1: with something. There's a way to work with morning voice.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Don't do anything to interrupt how authentic it sounds. It's
- 2:24Speaker 1: very real, it's every day. Just keep the performance in
- 2:28Speaker 1: relax mode and don't push it. Nobody wants over raspy.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Morning voice is perfect for storytelling and reflecting. Now, how
- 2:36Speaker 1: about those cons with morning voice? It can come across
- 2:40Speaker 1: as vocal frying, The clarity tends to suffer, and the
- 2:44Speaker 1: volume is almost always uneven. Therefore, as the host, you're
- 2:48Speaker 1: coming across sounding a little bit sluggish or low on energy.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I mean, I hated it when people would call the
- 2:54Speaker 1: studio and say, hey, dude, you go to wake up.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Why don't you pick up on that energy just a bit? Huh? Hey,
- 3:02Speaker 1: coming up next. Now that we've heard a few pros
- 3:05Speaker 1: and cons of having morning voice, I get it. What
- 3:08Speaker 1: can we do at six point fifteen when it has
- 3:10Speaker 1: nothing to do with really waking up or coming down
- 3:14Speaker 1: with something? Hey, welcome back to pod crashing one on one.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Now that we've taken a few moments to talk about
- 3:21Speaker 1: the pros and cons of having a morning voice. I
- 3:24Speaker 1: get in the studio every day about six fifteen. How
- 3:27Speaker 1: can we get in shape vocally before that podcast takes
- 3:30Speaker 1: me out or a full day of interviews when you've
- 3:34Speaker 1: loaded nine NBC the voice talks to one morning. Is
- 3:38Speaker 1: there a way to protect the property, Well, you've got
- 3:40Speaker 1: to warm that monkey up first, it is a muscle.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Lip trills, gentle humming, or light read out loud. Wait
- 3:48Speaker 1: wait wait, wait wait, I said lip trills. What is
- 3:52Speaker 1: lip trills? Well, it is the act of blowing air
- 3:56Speaker 1: through your relaxed lips. Lip trills also to create a
- 3:59Speaker 1: vibe breeding sound a horse or a motor boat. Also,
- 4:03Speaker 1: make sure that you hydrate before you record it is
- 4:07Speaker 1: a muscle. Correct your posture. Slouching is unacceptable. As for pace,
- 4:13Speaker 1: slow it down, put your focus on making intentional pauses.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I mean, Rush Limbaugh was the master of those pauses.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Learn from that guy. So what if it's a cold, well,
- 4:27Speaker 1: water down everything, edit everything as well. Do not allow
- 4:32Speaker 1: sniffs and off key breathing to be a part of
- 4:34Speaker 1: your podcast. I don't like saying this, but if you've
- 4:37Speaker 1: got a cold, lower your expectations, and please be very
- 4:42Speaker 1: real and upfront with your listeners. Go ahead and tell them, hey,
- 4:46Speaker 1: my voice sucks today. I'm sorry that you have to
- 4:48Speaker 1: listen to it, but I've got something to really kind
- 4:50Speaker 1: of share with you. Listeners. Find value in your honesty
