A basic tidy up of your audio,

• Improving the overall sound as much as possible (but we’ll give you tips on how to achieve the best sound at the time of recording).

• Removal of obvious mistakes like coughs and sneezes, mic bumps, false starts and cross talk (when you and your guest/co-host talk over eachother) where possible.

• If there are small chunks of content you’d like removed just provide the time stamp and the first/last line of the section to cut, otherwise the actual episode content is left as is.

This style is ideal for hosts who don’t need their original recording cut down to a particular length, and for podcasts which benefit from a more relaxed and candid feel (such as comedy, lifestyle and entertainment podcasts).

Sometimes referred to as a ‘producer’s cut’,

• a more in-depth content edit with a focus on the overall listening experience for your audience.

• Sentence structure is improved where possible (whilst retaining a natural sound) to improve flow.

• Waffle and repetition is removed to create a smoother narrative and keep the listener’s attention on the topic.

• Filler and crutch words (‘like’, ‘sort of’, ‘kind of’, ‘umm’,) are removed, and pauses are either tightened up or elongated to either maintain momentum or allow listeners extra time to process the more meaningful moments.

This style is best for those recording for significantly longer than their desired final episode length. Also ideal for those wanting to position themselves as an experienced voice of authority in their subject (like business or academic podcasts).
