Awesome Up Your Podcast or Audio Recording - Simple Techniques of Post-Production

[read-alicia.livejournal.com]

Want to start a podcast, audio play, or recording of yourself reading your work? And make it sound as incredible as you know it can be?
The Post-Meridian Radio Players are offering this free class to teach you the best techniques for improving the quality of your recordings and adding a little audio magic, like special effects and cleaner voices.

The class will briefly cover the process of recording, and focus on post-production. Soon, you too will be turning a cat's cough into an interdimensional portal, or bringing out the richness of your own voice.

The class will discuss editing with Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/), a free software tool, and Reaper (http://www.reaper.fm/), a low-cost software solution with more advanced features.
Instructors include:
- Bryan Lincoln is a voice actor and producer for a number of shows, including his own FullCast Podcast (http://www.fullcastpodcast.com/), a Parsec-Award winner. He has also produced stories for The Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine and HG World (a zombie audio drama), and is currently producing a full cast production of a novel.
- Brad Smith is a prolific voice actor and musician who edited and produced the Parsec-Award nominated Second Shift podcast (http://secondshiftpodcast.com/).

It is optional to bring a laptop with you.
