I just bought a Microphone!

[Masato]

Hey all

Just bought a microphone! Found this cool kid at the store where I bought it who makes his own gaming podcast, he told me a lot about how to do it. I won't likely have time for at least a week to get into it and figure it out, but the goal is to make an indy podcast

Live shooping/illustrating, chat about art/CTs/life/MMA etc, people can call in etc.

I'm excited for it, a new way to be creative. I plan to really go outside the box and not copy any sort of style, even though there are plenty of podcasts I really enjoy and admire.

Any suggestions whether technical or creative are most welcome

seems like youre so slammed at work you had time to buy a microphone.


:P

[Masato]

lol

No, part of why I'm slammed at work is because I still have to do a lot of Dad stuff on top of it. Took my son to BJJ, got the idea to buy a microphone while he was in class, I had 1 hr to kill

[Masato]

Wow SO many questions and ideas about this... So many different ways to do it, my brain is in overload (what the hell did I just commit to?)

I want to do it differently, come up with something new (especially to make up for the fact that I don't really have a good radio voice lol)

I want it to be more visual (my screen visible, will do lots of drawing/shooping), lots of ideas but also lots of work to figure out how to do all this shit. It would be great if I could get my shit together before Winnson gets to Som's in Thailand, if they could Skype in that would be hilarious.

No promises

I met this kid who worked at the store I bought the microphone (IF YOU READ THIS COME AND POST, MAN!! Teach me your mojo!)

... he does an indy gaming podcast.

He suggested to do the shooping/illustrating FIRST, then edit later and do the audio/talking afterwards on top of it.

This indeed is how good tutorials are done, and would probably result in a higher quality... but I am really tempted to take Canuckster's advice and do a LIVE version a-la Bob Ross.

Its way more risky/more pressure, and maybe harder to talk well and draw/shoop at the same time... but if I could pull it off I think it might be more unique

Still lots of creative brainstorms goin on... I want to make it original.

Just listened to an interview with Dan Carlin recently, he raves about how podcasts are 'total creative freedom' with no middle-man looking over you telling you want to do/not to do. I want to take this to heart, and really push what I can get away with, lol

Lots of great podcasts I love, but they are all stuck in a format. I want to be more anarchistic with it, letting it go wherever it wants and not setting any rules.

I'm also not gonna try at all to make it big or any sort of monetary success... Its just for a pure new creative outlet, I'd rather have fun and be original with a small audience than be all cookie-cutter and get a bigger audience (much like this place)

Wish me luck folks, this is much scarier than I thought, lol

Will be a good challenge
