As
I mentioned earlier, I will be using an app (Voice Recorder) on my android (Samsung
Galaxy) to record my short podcast episode. As suggested by Professor Bell, I
plan to use Audacity as the software to edit my podcast. In addition to the
sources provided by Professor Bell, I reviewed a variety of YouTube videos to
understand how Audacity works. Here are a list of videos and articles I looked
through to gather information on how to use this software:

I tested out Audacity earlier this week to see how to edit a recording. I found it a little challenging, as it requires a lot of time and attention to detail. After testing out the software, I think it will take me nearly a week to edit my podcast for optimum results. In terms of my voice, it initially sounded a little squeaky at first, but I figured out that I should keep the recorder closer to my mouth. Also, after using this software, I might consider using it to record my podcast as well, because the app I plan to use for recording produces m4a files, which requires me to constantly convert files to mp3. However, the only reason I am apprehensive about using Audacity for recording purposes is that I do not have a lot of experience with this software, and I am finding it a little challenging to edit any audio clip with it. Although I am going to continue to find ways to learn the art of editing with this software, over the next few days, I plan to look into GarageBand and other editing software to see which would be the easiest to edit my podcast episode with.
