other than your voice. (we will add music and effects later)

• Topic can be of your choosing…• Create Your Script

– Content - Tell the listener some information about you. What do you like to do? What did you do this summer? Sports? Hobbies? Fun? (1-2 minutes)

Podcasting: Your Pre-Production

Script Writing Tips– Think about your audience and use appropriate language.– Write as you speak. Be conversational. Don't have to use

formal language.– Keep reading your scripts out loud to check how sounds.– Avoid repeating the same word(s) too often.– Avoid repeating the same word(s) too often. :)

• Common Examples: Actually, Then, And, So, But – Write any words which are tricky to pronounce phonetically.

• Example: phonetically = phone-et-ick-lee – The average person speaks about 3 words per second – …So plan for 80-90 words for about 30 seconds of you

talking for your podcast.
