What if I Make a Mistake When Recording?

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about making mistakes during recording. Stumbles and stammers are natural. But, if you always stop and start again, thinking “I’ll just edit that out”, then your podcast is going to become time-consuming or expensive to create. With minor mistakes, just quickly correct yourself, make light of it, and press on. Of course, there are times when you’ll want to get something spot on. Maybe you’re presenting a fact, or making a very serious point. When you make a mistake here, just pause, click your fingers three times in front of the mic, then start again. If you do this, you’ll quickly and easily spot essential edit points in the production phase. And as for the minor stuff, just let it go. You’ll grow into a much more accomplished presenter over time this way, as opposed to the folks who use editing as a crutch in an attempt to make them sound flawless.
