Hi Year 8,

Follow this link to a site that explains the basics of audio editing using Audacity.

Hi Year 8,

Below are two wonderful resources for your podcasting project.

The first is

Podomatic.com – a free online podcast recording site. You will need to sign up with your initial and lastname as your username & then test the recording & editing capabilities. We are testing this site instead of WildVoice.

Step 1 – go to the site.

step 2 – sign up with username firstinitial & surname e.g. jsmith

step 3 – go to my podcast

step 4 – click on post a new episode

step 5 – choose to record via microphone

step 6 – record & save your podcast sample

step 7 – Complete your comparison table in your portfolio to see if this podcasting tool can do all things you need it to. Are there any advantages to recording your podcast directly onto a website?

The second resource is a Free Sound Effects website. This will come in handy once you start recording your podcast.

Have fun!

Ms B
