The Foundation Of Content
Present your thoughts and ideas to the world via audio.
Little did I know that the skills I learnt in my younger years as an eager musician would help me later in life in the field of podcasting and content creation.As I set up my first live podcast with my friend I could explain to him how everything worked and the techniques we should apply to optimise audio quality.I could apply what I learnt to create a step by step system for producing and recording in-person and remote podcasts.A foundational understanding of audio and how sound works is essential as we move forward in this new ‘digital renaissance’ period of human existence.Most people are on their smartphones and computers everyday, consuming content in text, video and audio form.If you plan on producing videos, you plan on producing audio as well.The two go hand in hand.Now, with the exponential progress of artificial intelligence, you can also convert text into audio.If you know how to produce curated high quality content, you will increase your chances of building your audience faster.Social media is where the attention is right now.If you want to build an audience, you need attention.
