How To Set Up A Home Podcasting Studio To Sound Like a Pro (Skillshare)

Podcasting is the best way to grow your reach and share your message right now! If you've been dreaming about starting a podcast but need help with the technical side of things, this course is for you. In this course, you'll learn how to set up a podcast studio. This is simple to do at home (we started recording our podcast in our closets!).

We’ll show you how to record clear, crisp audio that sounds professional, which is so important for both your listeners and potential sponsors.
By the end of this course, you'll learn:

  • All the equipment you need for your home studio
  • How to choose and set up a microphone
  • How to set up and use a production interface
  • How to position yourself at your mic for the best quality audio

Having a successful podcast starts with planning. Creating a list is one of the best planning tools, so for your project, write out a list of all the studio equipment you plan to purchase. Get specific and write down the exact brand names and the prices too - this will help you budget.
Once you’re finished, take a picture of your list and share it in the project gallery.
This project should be quick to complete (set aside about 20 minutes for it). It’s an amazing first step to setting up your home podcast studio!
