Choosing the Right Sounds

Music sets the tone of your podcast. Select tracks that match the mood of each segment. Royalty-free music libraries like Epidemic Sound or Artlist can be excellent resources.

Sound effects can highlight actions or emphasize key points. Use them sparingly to avoid overwhelming the listener.


Sound is half the experience; it shapes how the story is perceived

Integration Tips:

  • Keep intro/outro music consistent across episodes.
  • Adjust volume levels to balance voice and effects.
  • Test different placements of effects to enhance storytelling.

Editing Techniques:

  1. Use fade-in/out for smooth transitions.
  2. Apply EQ and compression to maintain audio clarity.
  3. Check final mix on multiple devices for consistency.
