Process Between the Pauses (Part 3)
<p>Welcome to Part 3 of 13 parts in my Between the Pauses mini-series that explores my thoughts while making my first audio drama: PAUSE for Dramatic Effect! If you're interested in the complete first season of Pause for Dramatic Effect you can download and listen to it for free at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://PAUSEforDramaticEffect.com">PAUSEforDramaticEffect.com</a> or wherever you find your podcasts.</p><p><br>Audio Drama is all about systems. A system for writing your scripts, a system for recording your audio, and a system for weaving it all together. You should write your systems down and then follow them each time. It will help you speed things up.</p><p><br>Know that editing your audio "In Post" is a myth and, as it turns out, super hard to do right. To avoid this problem, always read your scripts out loud multiple times and with the voice actors. If it sounds weird out loud this is the time to change it.</p><p><br>Do not underestimate the potential for technology to fail you. Always save your raw recordings to a safe place first, then make a copy. And only after you have a copy, work with only the copies and never the raw files. This way if you make a mistake, delete the wrong file, or have the power go out, you haven't lost everything!<br><br>I would love for you to tell me how you think the story of Pause for Dramatic Effect turned out but giving it a rating and review or sending a Boost using one of the latest Podcast 2.0 app. If you don't have a Podcast 2.0 app, I would highly recommend <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://Podverse.fm">Podverse.fm</a> or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://Truefans.fm">Truefans.fm</a> to get all the new podcast features you didn't know you were missing!</p><p><br>Meanwhile, I'm now the founder of a new podcasting education and technology company called Oncetold.
