E139 - Apple Seed Series - Impact Your Podcast by improving your engaging delivery as a podcaster - Part 4 Create impact with your podcast beyond stats, listens, downloads, vanity metrics, follower counts and money earned via your podcast! In this 10 episode mini-series we talk about the immesurable impact your podcast can have that nobody tends to talk about! You can count the number of seeds in an apple, but you can't count the number of apples in a seed! Three actionable tips for improving your engaging delivery as a podcaster: Vocal Variety and Pacing: Practice modulation: Vary your tone, pitch, and volume to prevent monotony. This can be particularly effective when emphasizing important points or creating suspense. Adjust pacing: Speak at a comfortable pace, ensuring your words are clear and well-articulated. Avoid speaking too quickly, which can make it hard for listeners to follow. Pausing at strategic moments can also create anticipation and emphasize key ideas. Emotional Connection: Be authentic: Share personal anecdotes or emotions related to your topic. Authenticity creates a genuine connection with your listeners and makes your message relatable. Use the power of storytelling: Craft narratives that evoke emotions and connect with your audience's own experiences. Engaging stories can evoke empathy and keep listeners hooked. Preparation and Practice: Script and rehearse: While spontaneity is valuable, having a well-prepared script or outline ensures you stay on track and communicate your points effectively. Record and review: Listen to your recordings to identify areas for improvement. Pay attention to pacing, clarity, and the emotional impact of your delivery. Take notes on what works and what needs refining. Seek constructive feedback: Share your recordings with a trusted friend or colleague and ask for their honest input. Constructive criticism can provide insights you might not have noticed on your own. By implementing these tips, you can enhance your engaging delivery and create a more impactful podcasting experience for your audience. Remember that practice and continuous improvement are key to mastering these techniques over time. ___ ⁠https://howtopodcast.ca/
