Good Morning Poptastic PodPoppers! Rub your eyes, put on your slippers, and brew your coffee because it’s time for another week of PodPops from yours truly, Ginni Popaswati.
Today's tip may come as a sad one for fans of S Club Seven’s 2001 summer hit, because we’re actually advising that you do, in fact, stop moving.
I know, I know… What am I thinking right… Next I'll be telling you Kylie was wrong and you should get me out of your head. Or that the truth of the matter is, it was Shaggy. He did do it… Buuut this is more justified than you might think.
When you begin to record but can’t sit still, you will likely create lots of background noise whilst you're speaking or listening. This can be especially bad if you use earbud headphones with the mic part way down the cable - you know the ones I mean. The wire lays close to your chest and, as you wiggle and jiggle, it rubs against your shirt and collar. The resulting noise will do nothing but distract your listeners and it's difficult to remove in post production - believe us, we’ve tried.
So do your best to stay still with your feet planted, avoid moving your pens and pencils around on your desk, and if you’ve got notes on paper, try moving them as silently as possible.
That’s all I've got for you today guys, be sure to come back tomorrow for the latest PodNews, and come back next week for more audio guidance from your audio guru. Cheerio!
