01 — PLAN
Start with the format-specific requirements
Use a story, music, and artwork you may publish; preserve gentle pacing and create either a video upload or an eligible RSS-delivered podcast episode.
02 — PREPARE
Prepare the material, room, and permissions
Create an outline or script, confirm rights and consent, choose the quietest practical setup, and record a short representative test before committing to the full session.
03 — RECORD
Capture clear sections and useful retakes
Keep the microphone position consistent, work in manageable sections, and after a mistake pause before repeating the complete sentence.
04 — EDIT
Edit the words and improve clarity
Use the transcript to remove retakes and unwanted sections, preserve intentional pauses, and improve clarity conservatively while comparing against the source.
05 — DELIVER
Review against the destination requirements
Listen from beginning to end, confirm rights and sensitive material, then prepare the required file, metadata, transcript, artwork, or platform submission details. Recheck current third-party requirements before uploading.
