The Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice

How can transcripts positively impact your podcast? Podcasts have always had an audio-first following, but as-is, audio isn’t accessible for everyone. In the wake of Apple Podcasts’ announcement to begin including transcripts with their latest update, it seems likely other platforms will begin to follow suit. This raises an important question for podcast creators: is it worth preparing transcripts for each of your episodes? After two years of exploring transcripts for her and her clients’ productions, Mary dives into their potential to transform both creator and listener experiences. You’ll hear (or read!) about everything from SEO (search engine optimization) and AI to the proven benefits of many other accessibility initiatives. If you’ve been considering taking the leap and creating text alternatives for your episodes, or you want tips on fine-tuning your transcript process, add this episode to your queue.

How do you bring your humanity to your podcast? Sharing your voice isn’t always easy. Factor in the painstaking writing of your script or copy, all those edits and revisions, and some nerves about speaking into the mic, and even the most heartfelt story can wind up either flat and unemotional or encased in that “reporter voice” from the dawn of radio. Unlock some podcasting inspiration through this conversation with Erin Moon, a classically trained actor who has narrated more than 450 audiobooks. To deliver the sincere and evocative narration for which she’s known, Erin centers her humanity in every character she adopts, embracing both the muse that first inspired the author and the physical reactions—the literal human responses—the writing evokes. Because connecting to the text means connecting to the listener and, as Erin says, “we don’t exist without each other.” Align your true self with Erin’s thought-provoking insights: Links worth mentioning from the episode: https://www.organizedsound.ca/audiobook-inspiration-to-master-your-microphone-episode-76/ https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780735243019-be-kind-be-calm-be-safehttps://www.thisamericanlife.org/ https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/203-the-secret-life-of-canada Engage with Erin: https://www.erinmoonactor.com/https://www.instagram.com/mooneybooks/https://www.tiktok.com/@mooneybookshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-moon/https://twitter.com/mooneybookshttps://www.facebook.com/mooneybooks Connect with Mary! https://www.speakpipe.com/VisibleVoicevisiblevoicepodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/marychan-organizedsound/https://www.instagram.com/organizedsoundproductionshttps://www.organizedsound.ca/newsletterhttp://www.visiblevoicepodcast.comhttps://www.organizedsound.ca Podcast cover art by Emily Johnston of Artio Design Co. https://www.artiodesignco.com

What’s the connection between audiobooks and podcasts? You already know the right tone and voice is essential for building a connection with your listeners. It just makes sense, then, that you can turn to different kinds of audio media for inspiration when looking to further hone your skills behind the mic. Take, for example, audiobooks. Especially in the last year or so, the connection between audiobooks and podcasts has expanded beyond the shared audio medium. Platforms like Spotify are putting a lot of their chips on audiobooks, and podcasters need to start considering this angle more closely from a marketing perspective. Luckily, plenty of the takeaways Mary has gleaned over years of working in the biz of spoken audio apply to both podcast and audiobook narration, and in this episode, she’s sharing her tips. Uncover the secrets to speaking more engagingly no matter which spoken audio platform you use: Links worth mentioning from the episode: https://www.audiopub.org/surveyshttps://help.acx.com/s/article/acx-audio-submission-requirementshttps://www.audible.ca/https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libbyhttps://libro.fm/ Connect with Mary! https://www.speakpipe.com/VisibleVoicevisiblevoicepodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/marychan-organizedsound/https://www.instagram.com/organizedsoundproductionshttps://www.organizedsound.ca/newsletterhttp://www.visiblevoicepodcast.comhttps://www.organizedsound.ca Podcast cover art by Emily Johnston of Artio Design Co. https://www.artiodesignco.com

How do you create the written content for your podcast? You’ve probably heard actors say that they can’t bring themselves to watch their own films. As a podcast host, maybe you relate to the cringe factor that comes from listening to your shows after you’ve recorded them, but if you’ve decided to write episode-accompanying blog posts and show notes yourself, you don’t have that luxury—you have to tune back in. And if you don’t consider yourself A Writer, this process can feel a bit overwhelming. Shannon Kirk is the writer behind the blogs and show notes for the podcasts Mary produces. She shares what goes into crafting the written portion of a podcast episode. From engaging in active listening while taking notes to preserving the parts of speech that are essential to your authentic voice, she and Mary discuss professional writer tricks and tips to help you create captivating blogs and show notes that add a readable and search-friendly layer to your audio offerings.

How do you write for your podcast when you’re “not a writer”? A lot of podcast hosts are drawn to the audio medium because they have always felt they can express themselves better and more easily through speaking than through writing. In this episode, Mary shares how a lackluster introduction to writing in her youth spurred her into radio—she wanted to speak instead of write! Then, she discovered that radio and podcasting still call for a fair bit of writing. Facing that demon created the a-ha moment that led Mary to fine-tune a writing-for-speaking approach that works and doesn’t leave you dreading every keystroke. Your podcast writing doesn’t have to be clunky, like grammatically correct prose so often sounds when read aloud. If you use your awesome speaking skills to craft your written words, then the writing you need to do for audio projects can elevate your creation and enable you to speak with spirit.

How does branding tie into your podcast? As a podcast host, figuring out how to communicate why your episodes are worth listening to is one of your most important tasks. Downloads are nice and all, but it’s the strength of your brand—and really nailing down how you want your listener to feel—that encourages them to earmark some of their extremely valuable time for listening to your show. This is what truly sets you apart from the competition. Dr. Brigitte Bojkowszky is a brand strategist and educator with more than 20 years of experience in her field, and she’s also a podcast host herself!

What values are at the heart of your podcast? As 2023 draws to a close, most of us are preparing for some kind of annual review, whether it’s for our business or our personal lives. When you’re looking back on your professional or family values and how they showed up this year, don’t forget your podcast!

In the final episode of the year, Mary explores how to identify those values and incorporate them into every fibre of your podcast. This is a great way to make sure your show keeps striking the most authentic note, for you and your listeners, in every single episode of 2024!

What metrics are you using to measure your podcast’s success? Podcasting is a fantastic business marketing option. It’s a uniquely transparent and personal way to showcase your thought leadership, your services, and your authentic self—all without having to style your hair. Like any marketing strategy, podcasters inevitably want to see how successful their show is, and it’s understandable that they turn to popular metrics like downloads to figure this out. In this episode, Mary breaks down why traditional advertising-focused stats might not be the best pick for independent podcasters. Instead, she suggests exploring value-based metrics like evidence of audience trust and indirect benefits to your business. These values, while harder to measure, tend to create a more telling picture of just how successful your podcast truly is.

How well do you know your ideal podcast listener? If you can figure out—like, really, deeply identify—the purpose of your podcast and who you’re creating it for, you’ll discover the huge impact this can have on your show’s success; it helps make every part super cohesive, from selecting your guests and topics, to reaching your ideal audience, to achieving personal growth along the way. Multi-hyphenate entrepreneur Shobna Kannusamy has experienced all these benefits firsthand while creating her podcast, Colour Me Brave, where she amplifies the voices of women of colour through conversations that dive into their diverse experiences with identity, culture, and connection. In this episode, Shobna explains how getting really deep into determining her show’s purpose has fostered the safe space she set out to establish for the women she speaks with, her podcast listeners, and herself.

Your story is yours to share and it can serve a bigger purpose for your listener - it could change their whole world. Getting personal about your stories and experiences can make your listeners feel included, seen, and heard. Even if you prefer to avoid the spotlight, keep in mind that your podcast isn’t about you. It’s about what you can bring to the table through your lived experience. Being vulnerable enough to share a glimpse into what has made you, you, helps build a real connection with your listeners.

The voice you have today is not the same voice you were born with. The things you experience and the media you're exposed to, all contribute to how you sound and frame what your idea of a powerful voice “should” sound like. But when you step out of the parameters set by culture, and abandon the idea of sounding “professional” you will discover that true power in your voice. Today’s episode is a revolution in how to think about your voice with Samara Bay, author of “Permission to Speak”. We nerd out on redefining what power sounds like, why other people’s voices and words impact your own voice, and what you can do to shift that narrative.
