“The Power of Healthy Habits: Small habits for big results” podcast series would introduce the listeners to the power of habit and a new healthy habit in each episode. The podcast introduction is designed to be upbeat, attention-grabbing, and portray confidence in the podcast content. The sound effects are timed to coincide with elements of the script to add auditory interest and a fun feel. The music was also chosen to be upbeat and fun adding to the positive message.
Lynn’s Let’s Play Gaming Reviews is a podcast for non-gamers and gamers ranging from the casual beginners to hard core video game players. Every week on Sunday, I will review and talk about a video game of my choice. This can range from the old retro games to the “Blockbuster” AAA games. I will you give pros and cons about the games and whether or not if it was worth the purchase. In addition, I will give you in game tips, tricks, and possible glitches to look out for. In this episode, I will be reviewing the indie action-adventure game Death’s Door.
For this podcast, I used a variety of video game sound effects, music, and voice overs. From the beginning, I used a small glitch wave sound effect quickly following a kind of 80’s type video game introduction music to get the listeners to feel like they are about to start a new video game. Next I try to fade out the 80’s introduction music and fade in a video game loop background music and my voice over at the same time. I chose this background music because it has fairy tale ambience to it and I want the listener feel like they are beginning a new adventure game with me. I lowered the volume of the background music to be able to hear my voice over more clearly. At the end, I faded out the background music and added the press start sound effect to signal that the podcast was about to begin, similar to pressing start in an actual video game.
I love the ambiance of a coffee house. The smell of fresh brewed coffee filling the room and subdued, jazzy music playing in the background makes for the perfect place to relax, knit, and chat with friends. Visits to many such retreats inspired The Wool Cafe podcast. My passion is wool. I belong to a loosely-knit community of fiber artists from whom I constantly draw new ideas. Its members are so nice and always willing to help with projects. It would be delightful to sit with many of them over coffee and chat. My list of potential guests is really endless, from shepherds to owners of yarn mills, indie dyers, designers and creative hobbyists.
Jen, from Whispering Pines Farm, is a perfect example of that friendly and supportive fiber-arts appassionata. I met Jen at the Rhinebeck Sheep Festival in 2019 where I discovered her beautiful, Shetland-handspun yarn. I immediately fell in love with the soft texture! Jen started her own video podcast and asked me to join her in Episode 7 to talk about the shawl I made with her yarn. So, I selected that same episode 7 for my album art as a nod to her.
The opening of my introduction has the pouring of coffee beans and the background chatter of a coffee house. These are common sounds that create the atmosphere of the setting. Background music is always playing if you take time to notice it. I wanted a track that would give the right mood to the podcast and accurately reflect what you might hear in your local coffee shop. If successful, you can even smell the brew!
Haunted Happenings is where your spooky experiences with the supernatural are told by the teller of tales, Kayla. This podcast is where you can get your fix of something real and spooky. These stories are sure to raise the hairs on your arms. For those who are brave enough, welcome to Haunted Happenings.
For the Haunted Happenings podcast I used introduction music to set the stage of the podcast. Then had the music fade out and intro my first voice narrations ontop of soft music. Then added the sound effect of a door creaking to invoke the feeling of the story starting. I finally added another voice narration ontop of different music to give it a creepy vibe. Between all of the effects I had the sound fade out to avoid it sounding the transitions from sounding too choppy.
