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

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.

DATE: Saturday, June 30
TIME: 1-5 PM
PLACE: Unity Church of Somerville (http://goo.gl/maps/b264)
6 William Street Somerville, MA 02144
(Downstairs)

Donations welcomed, not required.

oh!!! i wish i could attend! i do a lot of podcast post-production at my job and i've been learning as i go -- this would be supremely helpful!

if at all possible, i would love to attend a future class at an alternate date, if that's ever an option. sadly i will not be able to attend this one on the 30th :(

Interesting stuff here. Unfortunately, I am going to miss this completely. Why won't you take this training online. Something like http://www.wiziq.com/course/3166-digital-audio-recording-editing-using-pro-tools-10 for instance. It would help more people join in and pick up stuff and benefit from your experience. I'd definitely love to attend this. However, being several miles and continents away, can also do so if it was online.

p.s. I do work with WizIQ Courses - so this could look completely biased but then there is no limit to the interest graph :)
