#
schmarty Good morning, sketchess. I just published this week's podcast. Perhaps Loqi will announce it here, soon.
#
sketchess Yeah I already noticed it. And greetings back schmarty. :)
#
sketchess I wanted to ask you one thing.
#
sketchess Or maybe two. xD
#
schmarty I will gladly answer what I can. :}
#
sketchess First the easy one.... which microphone do you use ?
#
schmarty I use the Blue Yeti. I find it's a very versatile USB mic.
#
sketchess o.O... I totally agree. xD I own one myself.
#
sketchess Second... can you possibly show me some tricks? Your play with your voice is really nice. I do not sound good. xD

#
sketchess Or do you record the indieweb postcast a 100 times, schmarty? :)
#
schmarty Haha, I don't know if they count as tricks but I have a few things I keep in mind when I record the podcast.
#
Loqi rofl
#
schmarty I get most segments done in 1 or 2 takes these days. :}
#
schmarty (Sometimes it takes several)
#
schmarty First, my process involves writing a very detailed script which I read word-for-word. I sound much clearer when I don't have to think of what to say next.
#
schmarty Second, I break the script down into several sections, so that I only have to record for a couple of minutes at a time. Within that section I can make mistakes, clear my throat, start over, etc. and still be able to edit it quickly.
#
schmarty Third, I constantly remind myself to speak slowly. I naturally talk very quickly and in early episodes I spoke quickly to fit in more information. I think the podcast is better when I speak more slowly and more carefully choose what to include.
#
sketchess Yeah I noticed the changes in your voice. I like both.
#
sketchess They are both good. They have their own character.
#
schmarty Haha, right! I also re-use several clips from week to week. One or two are older and I keep meaning to re-record slower and clearer versions. :}
#
schmarty It's not yet complete but I wrote some of the details about how I construct the script on the wiki: https://indieweb.org/User:Martymcgui.re/this-week-indieweb-podcast

#
schmarty I am off to eat some lunch and record some other podcasts. Have a great day, sketchess!
#
sketchess The podcast the week before was really soft at first. It made me wonder, if you might try to speak to the ladies especially. Enjoy.
#
schmarty Haha, I will have to think on that feedback. I don't have a clear process for how I settled on the particular voice I use for the podcast. It feels to me like a mix of US National Public Radio news hosts. :}
#
dgold anyone else having problems with OYS?
#
dgold when I copy the payload and do the request myself, I get the required result
#
dgold but I'm not seeing anything come through from the site to mine
#
