Podcasting

Last week, we launched Overdub, an AI voice generator that allows you to create a realistic clone of your own voice. To help you make the most of the software, we’re offering some tips to ensure a production-ready Overdub voice, with crisp fidelity, realistic intonation, and natural expressiveness.

Learn how to record a podcast remotely using local captures, conferencing tools, or double-enders—plus tips for pro-quality long distance recordings.

Overdub is finally here. This state-of-the-art voice generator allows you to create an ultra-realistic clone of your own voice — so you can create speech just by typing text in Descript.

If you’re trying to record better audio for a podcast or voiceover, what’s the first thing that springs to mind? Using a high-quality microphone, most likely. But the space you’re recording in affects the way your recording sounds just as much as the microphone you use to record it. In fact, underestimating the impact of reverberation, or reflected sound, on an audio recording might be the number one mistake anyone recording a podcast or voice over at home will make.

Just three years after its founding, Pushkin Industries has become an audio-storytelling powerhouse, with an arsenal of podcasts and audiobooks built around household-name authors like Malcom Gladwell (Revisionist History), Michael Lewis (Against the Rules), and Ibram X. Kendi (Be Antiracist).

It’s not hard to talk yourself into launching a podcast these days — including a podcast for your team at work. There are plenty of good reasons to do it and many examples of companies that have used podcasts to elevate their internal communications and inspire their workforce.
