Starting my adventure in podcasting land!

[sagiquarius]

After too many years of head-up-my-arse-Nihilism, and some recent help from Ady (oh come on, she's practically famous around here, right?),  I've decided to move forward with more public content instead of just recording myself talking and never doing anything with it.   I don't care if money is made or not.  What's important is that I do it, learn as I go, and do my best to produce content that at least tickles the funny bones.  I don't want to be that guy that thinks about doing something more and never does.

 

Here is my soundcloud channel:  https://soundcloud.com/sagiquarion

 

I also produced one monologue video because I was tired of merely thinking of doing it and not doing it:  

 

What do you guys think?  Hate it?  Lemme have it.  Loved it, cool!  What could be better?

Greetings!

 

I was searching for a thread I had seen before that had some podcasting tips and I came across yours here.  I'm just starting out too and I have a lot in common with the things you've said.  I also fantasize about all the things I want to do but never put them into action, so I just started talking into a camera.  That was hard in itself.  I'll say that you definitely have some things down that I don't yet.  I think your volume and energy are good.  It does feel like you're engaging with the audience and showing a lot of feeling.  I did start feeling disinterested about 5 minutes in or so and stopped listening at about 8, but I think that it may have just been that my attention wasn't grabbed by the story. I hate giving any kind of negative feedback but I know it's important for people who are actually customer focused to hear and it's something I need to learn to do if I want to take this honesty thing the whole 9 yards.  Something that sticks out to me as a criticism; I think the ginger stuff might've been a little harsh - even if this guy's a douche his hair color doesn't have anything to do with it.  (BTW - that was really hard for me to type let alone not delete)  Anyways I understand this was a spur of the moment private monologue that took a lot of courage to do let alone post so I applaud you for that sir.  I also see that this was 14 months ago so how is it going? Learn anything along the way you want to share? Any tips for starting out? Please let me know!

 

Hope all is well!
