I'm trying to attach the first episode of Nantucket Tales by Mary Van Arsdale, read by Jennifer Brooks (yes, me). I am in charge of the tech aspects, unfortunately, and it is a stretch. I will try to add the MP3 file, but if I fail, will someone please tell me how to do it. If it does upload, have a listen!

I really seem to have an issue with my breathing being a distraction on the recording. I've fallen to clicking between phrases, deep breathing, and then removing the breathing during editing. Anybody have a better way?

To Brian: In the order which you asked:

1. Most are wise enough to not try and podcast a work-in-progress.
2. Few "cast as you go" people would repeat the same mistake twice.
3. Do not start recording your book until the final edit. How many is that? Depends on your mad skillz as a writer and your connection with your editor. When it's ready, it's ready. But not before.

I am curious.. are people finishing the writing of a work before starting the podiobook casting? or do you cast as you go? Also how many drafts are people going through before you start casting?

I tend to do a ton of self (and wife) editing of chapters as I write... which slows me down but I end up being happier about the work.

Hi All,
Question about turning a wav into an mp3. I think I have a good version of the promo short And I did it using Audacity. So much simpler than Cakewalk. Now I want to see what it will sound like as an MP3 but when I try to export the file from audacity it wants me to use a program called LAME but it is a tar file I am so confused I can't get it open and was wondering if there is a trick to it.
Thanks
Rhonda

I have a work in progress and am inspired by being part of this group and the tremendous resources it offers. I'll be online often.

Hi, currently working on my rewrite of my novel Inner Demons and would love to put it on podiobooks as I am also a podcaster. Don't know where to start.
