Be the Dream Client Your Podcast Editor Hopes For

Hey, Emerging Podcaster!

I hope you’re doing well and feeling inspired for your next episode! As a podcast editor, my mission is to make your audio sound exceptional, so you can deliver an outstanding listening experience that truly connects with your audience. To make your collaboration smooth and efficient with your editor (and I’m hoping that’s me 💖), here are a few quick tips that will make them love working with you even more!

Tip #1 🎤 The Power of a Good Mic Check 
Before diving into your recording session, always do a quick mic check. Ensure that your microphone settings are correct, and listen for any background noise that could disrupt your audio. A simple test can prevent the need for extensive noise reduction later and allow your voice to come through clearly and confidently, which is key for delivering your message with impact.

Tip #2 🎧 Review and Refine Before You Record
Taking a few extra minutes to review your recording (whether you're editing it yourself or sending it to an editor) can save time and reduce unnecessary edits. For solo episodes, consider scripting or outlining your thoughts. This helps reduce the number of pauses, filler words, and re-dos. It also ensures your inspiring message comes through loud and clear with minimal distractions. A little preparation goes a long way!

Tip #3 📝 Keep it Concise
Always remember that less is more. Stay on track, be mindful of time, and avoid tangents. This keeps your audience engaged and reduces the editing needed to create a tight, focused episode. Your listeners will appreciate the clarity and intention in every word.

Bonus Tip ✨ Review Before You Send
Before sending your recording to your editor, take a moment to listen to it from start to finish. This helps you catch any moments that may need retakes or adjustments, like background noise, long pauses, or sections where your thoughts may not flow as smoothly. By reviewing what you have recorded, you’re ensuring the content you send is polished and ready for fine-tuning—saving time in the editing process and helping your final episode sound even better!
