Summary
What this is, is a bunch of tips and tricks. There’s a Quick Start Guide at the top, for if you’re staring at your very first podfic and don’t know where to start. After that there’s a lot of the podfic equivalent of, ‘Have you tried a baking strip?’ and, ‘This is what butter creamed with sugar should look like.’ Etc. Take what’s useful; forget about what’s not. Cheers.

[META] Podfic Project Management by Thimblerig

Summary
If you’re anything like me, large projects intimidate just by not knowing where to start, and, how do I keep track of where I’m AT??? Podficcing, especially for longer works, runs to large projects with several moving parts.
So.
Here is a breakdown of how I wrangle my distractibility into turning out polished work. This guide does not deal with the technical aspects of voice work or sound editing, but rather gives a template for managing the work. It is intended for beginners, but experts are welcome to chime in with their own best practice in the comments.

Summary
So, a while ago, some of my friends and fellow cast members of the @sansukhpodfic asked about how to make and edit podfic on their own. I created this tutorial for them, as a supplement to the resources already posted by the Sansukh mods. In the wake of the most recent @auralphonic episode asking for technical advice on podficcing in Audacity, I thought I would polish this up and post it.
This tutorial explains how, once you have permission to record a story, you go about turning it into a podfic using Audacity. It focuses on technical and logistical details, rather than artistic advice, and is cobbled together from my own experience, my knowledge of the mathematics behind signal analysis, and other people’s tutorials. There’s lots of communities and resources out there that give advice on the artistic side (Auralphonic, for example, has an episode for newbies), which I recommend checking out.
Disclaimer: There is no one standard method of doing this! This is the method I have found gives me the best results, personally, but there may be better ways to do this. I strongly recommend checking out other resources for comparison.
