subject: Things To Consider Regarding Podcast Production [print this page] Businesses that have taken hundreds of years to develop, very gradually, have found the last 10-15 years very tumultuous indeed. Why? The internet of course. The internet has brought huge change to almost every kind of business on the planet. Keeping up is hard, but most people who agree that it brings with it more opportunities than limitations. One of these opportunities is that of communication, and that is why podcast production has become so important over recent years.
The process of podcast production was originally more practiced by established radio stations, but has gradually turned into a viable method of communication for many businesses who can communicate to their customers through their websites. The term podcast production can relate to either video productions or audio-only productions. They tend to be released as part of a series the idea being that people develop a habit for watching or listening to the podcasts.
While some still make podcasts themselves, many businesses turn to professional podcast production companies in order to create their podcasts. The process of making a podcast depends on the requirements of the organisation that needs it made. The first stage is to come up with a good idea one that will convey what a business wants to say. It might be made to look as if it is loosely scripted, where in fact it is tightly scripted or an organisation might want a very tightly scripted, corporate feel to the podcast. They may, alternatively, want a light hearted, comic feel to the podcast production.
All these possibilities need to be fully discussed and thought-through by the marketing team or whoever is normally in charge of public relations or marketing.
The next stage is to establish the actors either live action or voice over who will play the part or parts in the podcast production. Again, it is important to get the right kind of voice actor in order to portray the required image for a given company.
After this is all decided then the podcast production can go ahead. Any long established podcast production firm will either have their own studios or have the required contacts to hire high level studios in which to either film or record the podcast. It might be that the podcast will take place outdoors, in which case suitable locations need to be sought beforehand.
Podcast production is undeniably a very important part of communication with prospective or existing clients for many companies who have online presences.
