How to Adapt Your Art for the Podcasting Medium
Manage episode 439055538 series 3506642
How do you adapt your creative work into the podcasting format? Whether you're a live performer, storyteller, or artist, moving from your comfort zone into the world of podcasting can feel overwhelming. It's totally possible, and I’m here to guide you through it.
In This Episode:
- I break down how podcasting has its own set of “rules” that are different from other mediums, like live theater or film, and why knowing how to play by them (and break them) is essential.
- We explore why it’s important to adapt your performance or storytelling style to suit the audio-only format, using examples from theater and film, like Disney Plus' Hamilton.
- Why editing is your friend in podcasting (it’s not cheating, I promise!). I share how to embrace editing as your backstage crew in podcasting, helping you present your best, most polished self without sacrificing authenticity.
- Tips on finding the intersection between your art and podcasting so that your show is engaging, relatable, and easy to follow—without visuals!
Homework for You:
Listen to podcasts outside your usual genre! Pay attention to the production choices and think about how you can incorporate similar elements into your own show.
