    Editing

    		  

    You provide the audio, we make it sound great!

    We will even out the sound levels, reduce the noise, remove the "ahs" and "ums" and repeated "you knows", as well any mistakes you make.

    1 to 2 person recordings will take 2.5 - 3 times the length of the original recording. So a 20 minute one-person podcast would probably take 1 hour and cost $40.

    More than 2 people in the recording will take 3 - 4 times the length of the audio. So a 30 minute recording would take about 1.5 - 2 hours and cost $60 - $80.

    Editing is $40/hr. We will provide you with a recording program, if you desire, and teach you how to use it. Then you will forward the audio to us for production, and we will return it to you (or upload it to your site) so you can post it.
    Choose from our library of Studio Cutz music to mix with your audio:

    We have immediate access to the following CDs:

    Trendsetters, Image Makers, Playlist

    Contemporary Colors, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Brew, New Beginnings

    Red Hot Blues

    Motivations, Bright Ideas

    Liquid Lounge and Jazz Essentials

    The Podcasting Handbook (ebook)

    		  

    The Podcasting Handbook

     is a multi-media ebook containing the curriculum from a 5-week proven course in Podcasting...

    The original Podcasting Handbook for Busy Entrepreneurs was a live 5 week course featuring Audio and Video. It has now been updated with even more information, on production, free resources, marketing, and more!

    This course became a 12-CD set, with over 8 hours of audio, and multiple hours of video, that sells for $250 (Paige Eissinger, of Views From The Coop, and Tech Corner, says that the audio recording and editing portion was worth that much alone!)

    But thanks to the generosity of businesses that support podcasting, they have chosen to underwrite this multi-media ebook version so you can access the curriculum without paying full-price. Your cost is only $19.95!

    And that includes:

    1. All of the text curriculum from the entire 5 week course, including handouts, homework sheets, and screen print tutorials.

    Additional available options include:

  • Audio and Video lessons, totalling over 8 hours of audio and multiple hours of video, plus screen print tutorials, and links to various free services and products.


  • Audio Recording 101 AND Audio Recording 201 - Everything you need to know about recording and editing high quality audio files on your own computer. This course goes beyond the original AR101 class, adding in music mixing, special editing tricks, and more. No special or expensive equipment necessary, other than a headset microphone to plug into your computer's sound card. For those who have purchased the original AR101 course, you will be given a discount coupon equal to the amount which you originally paid.
  • Training in vocal delivery for the most professional podcast possible.


    • The Outline of the Course is as Follows:
  • Week 1 - What is Podcasting, What Can It Do For Me, What Do I Need and How Much Will It Cost? (Not much, by the way!) Homework: Download a podcasting program and subscribe to several podcasts.


  • Week 2 - Resources For Your Podcasting Needs, including where to find it, what it costs, and how to use it. (No expensive investment necessary!)

    • If you need more intensive instruction in some areas, you can pick and choose which classes you purchase.
    • Only want audio recording and editing Videos? Then that's all you get.
    • Only want information on marketing your business through podcasting? Then that's all you download.
    • Need to learn more about how to post on an RSS feed, or how to use resources like Libsyn, Audioblog, BYOAudio, Quikonnex, WordPress, etc.? Then that's all you pay for.

    "Penny Haynes expertly opened the door to show me the world of podcasting and audio editing,
    guiding me to adapt my new knowledge to the unique needs of my business with her good humor,
    dedication and skill."

    There was so much information given to us, in so many formats
    I just wanted to share with the group that I took a class by Penny Haynes of Encouraging Audio Books called Complete Podcasting Handbook for Busy Entrepreneurs.

    I learned SO MUCH about podcasting. There was so much information given to us, in so many formats, mp3 files, video files, written text as well as the 2 hour class in a web conference room once a week. It was amazing how much valuable information was given to us for the class.

    Even if you think you know how to podcast it really was so much more then just learning to podcast, we worked on marketing ideas, brainstormed with fellow podcasters, received voice coaching and so much more. If you feel that you want to "kick it up a notch" with your podcast do yourself a favor and check out the class now offered on CD.

    http://www.encouragingaudiobooks.com/products.asp?cat=59

    She is a great teacher and I wanted this group to know it. She may be too modest to share this, so I thought I would share from a "students" point of view.

    Hey, count me in as one of Penny's VERY satisfied students!
    Hey, count me in with Barbara and Laura as one of Penny's VERY satisfied students! I started out knowing practically nothing about podcasting except that I knew it was something I needed to learn to do...and Penny sure helped me accomplish that goal.
    I just got back from a week's vacation and haven't even checked my e-mail until today, but am getting ready to create a podcast from an interview I did with my co-host, Roger, on PC Primer last week. I plan to have it posted early next week. I couldn't have done it without Penny's class.
    Paige Eissinger, of 2SmartChix
    Penny,

    In addition to my audio, I'll like to add the following comments on the Podcasting course. Your class, and the women in the class was awesome.
    Listening in class, reading the material and watching the videos assisted me in "getting it". We all learn by various methods, and the visual aspects of this class are a huge bonus for me. I happen to have printed out the step by step instructions and keep them in a notebook that is open while I edit.
    What a lifesaver that one part of the course is. I look forward to constantly improving as I go forth. Thanks again for everything.

    Barbara C. Phillips, NP

    The podcasting teleclass was very helpful for the "non-techy" person such as myself. Thank you, Penny! The podcasting teleclass was so informative and was very helpful for the "non-techy" person such as myself. I appreciate all your hard work and time invested in preparing for the class as well as your attention to details to help make the process as easy as possible.

    I especially appreciate your patience when I was feeling stuck. I would recommend this class for all entrepreneurs who want to be on top of the new exciting world of "podcasting."

    She is a great instructor, and I have learned so much. I have just finished a podcasting class with Penny Haynes and I recommend it highly. She is a great instructor, and I have learned so much. Now I am anxious to put what I learned to good use.

    The Podcasting Handbook 12-CD Set

    		  

    The Podcasting Handbook

    is a 12-CD course with over 8 hours of audios, several hours of videos and myriad screen print tutorials that were the core of a 5 week course that, by its end, will have you recording, editing, mixing music, uploading files to your server, creating your RSS podcast feed, listed in all podcast directories and more. The classes are available immediately via download upon purchase, but you will also receive the entire curriculum on CD within one week. Students receive:

  • Instructions on receiving and listening to podcasts.


  • Audio Recording 101 and 201 - Everything you need to know about recording and editing high quality audio files on your own computer. This class includes adding in music mixing, special editing tricks, and more. No special or expensive equipment necessary, other than a headset microphone to plug into your computer's sound card. For those who have purchased the original AR101 course, you will be given a discount coupon equal to the amount which you originally paid.


  • Two (2) password protected forums for questions and answers about the course, as well as a student podcast review channel, where peers can help review each others' podcasts.


  • ***While supplies last***, participants will receive a 128 MB MP3 Player/Recorder/Storage Key (a $70 value) so they can download and listen to podcasts.


  • Training in vocal delivery for the most professional podcast possible.


  • Constructive reviews of participant podcasts.


  • Different ideas for new and interesting types of podcasts.


  • Each student will receive the entire recorded curriculum, with all audios, videos and texts, on CD.


    • The Outline is as Follows:
    Week 1 - What is Podcasting, What Can It Do For Me, What Do I Need and How Much Will It Cost? (Not much, by the way!) Homework: Download a podcasting program and subscribe to several podcasts.

    Week 2 - Resources For Your Podcasting Needs, including where to find it, what it costs, and how to use it. (No expensive investment necessary!) Will include how to upload your files, where to upload them to, and how to create a podcast entry in your RSS feed. Also where to find music. Homework: Review the Audio Recording 101 Program in preparation for next week's class.

    Week 3 - Audio Recording 101 and 201. Intensive instructional course on recording, editing, mixing music, saving files, and the differences in frequencies and bitrates (it's not as complicated as it seems). Homework: Record and edit a practice recording, and put music behind it.

    Week 4 - Vocal coaching for delivery and recording. Discussion and review of the different types of podcast styles and productions you can create. Review of existing podcasts for do's and don'ts. Everyone will get a chance to try out their skills by the end of the evening (don't panic! It will be fun and non-threatening.) Homework: Record and edit your own podcast. Upload it to your server and place the information in the RSS feed, so we can review your podcast next week. (We'll be gentle, I promise.)

    Week 5 - Review of participant podcasts. All of the places to submit your podcast. Ways to use podcasting for marketing your own products and services. Peripheral ways to make money with your newly found recording skills!

    And this course comes with a 90 day 100% money back guarantee - no questions asked!

    You also receive email support and Continuing Education courses that will occur on the third Tuesday of every month at 9pm EST, to accommodate our West Coast students. They will be recorded, so in case you miss it, you can still "tune in."
