What kind of edits do you want for your podcast?
Think about if you want the editor to remove mistakes or just enhance sound quality. Some editors do cool tricks, like adding music or sound effects. You decide what kind of magic you need.
How many episodes do you need edited?
Count how many episodes you have ready to go. This helps the editor plan their time. Knowing this keeps the project running smoothly.
How long is each podcast episode?
If you have a one-hour episode, the editor might need more time. Longer episodes might need more cuts and edits. It’s good to know this before starting.
When do you need each episode finished?
Decide on a timeline for when you want to release your podcast. Share your deadline with the editor so they can work on a schedule. Planning ahead helps everyone stay on track.
Do you have any specific style or tone for your podcast?
Think about how you want your podcast to feel. Should it be fun, serious, or maybe a mix of both? Giving your editor a sense of style will help them create something you love.
What tools or software should the editor use?
Some podcast editors prefer specific editing software, like Audacity or GarageBand. Let them know if you have a preference. This ensures everything works as expected.
Do you want to include any special effects or music?
Adding music or effects can make your podcast more exciting. Consider what kind of sounds you want. Talk with your editor to see what they recommend.
Have you prepared a detailed brief for the project?
A brief is like a game plan for your editor. It explains what you want and what the episodes are about. The more information you provide, the better the editor can do their job.
Do you have any past episodes as a reference?
Showcasing past episodes can help your editor understand your needs. It gives them an idea of what you liked or didn’t like. This reference can guide them as they work.
How will you track the project’s progress?
