It is so rare that we get to do a podcast in the LIDC that I am pleased to post a link to this exceptional series on Voice and Presentation Skills from our in-house Teaching Enhancement Specialist, Sarah Louise Turner. Produced as a companion to the Voice and Presentation Skills Workshop (which will be running again in the fall,) Sarah covers the essentials of breath work and presentation technique in this easy to listen to, six-part series which you can subscribe to in itunes. What was so nice about setting this up was the ease with which it was done. Of course working with some finely recorded, original audio didnt hurt either, but once those were in place it was simple matter of uploading them to a local server, and then linking to them from the Voicewerx Blog that Sarah has also set up and maintains. Pointing this blogs RSS feed to Feedburner, (now owned by google excuse me?!) a site that processes the feed into its final podcasty form and provides the necessary links, formatting etc. yay!  As far as the production goes, I think it still needs a bumper, with some familiar music that could be used to open every episode, and perhaps a bit more of an informal introduction from the hosts, but listening to these audio clips will inspire you to use your voice in ways you have never thought of before.

Be sure to check it out and come back for more as I expect this site to have some very interesting updates in the months ahead.
