Nothing compares with the intimacy of audio when it comes to connecting with an audience. So, if you’re looking to amplify your brand message and engage with hard-to-reach target markets, podcasts offer a creative and fun solution.
As the go-to place for creating broadcast quality branded podcasts, PRL Studio can help tell your story in a way that resonates. We’ll guide you through the whole process, from coming up with an original concept, recording and pre- and post-production through to distribution and marketing.
We record high-quality podcasts here at our professional-standard West London studios, or anywhere else you choose. If you’re interviewing people in other locations, we’ll capture their words in crystal-clear audio, so no one will guess they weren’t in our studio. We also film the podcast process, giving you the option to broaden your audience by using vodcasts, vlogs and videos across social media, websites and advertising campaigns.
Our West London studio is the perfect place to record your branded podcast. Sound-insulated and acoustically treated, it will give your voice a velvety quality that’s smooth and natural.
We use broadcast-quality recording equipment to guarantee pro-level audio, so even if you’re interviewing people from outside locations, they’ll sound as clear as if they’re physically in the studio.
Our podcast production team is made up of highly skilled sound engineers, editors, producers, videographers, graphic designers and marketers. This means you can draw on their expertise to create engaging and effective podcasts that showcase your brand and give you a platform to connect with specific audiences.
You’ll be assigned your own producer, who’ll guide you through the whole process. They’ll be there every step of the way – from original concept through to distribution – and their job is to make sure everything runs smoothly and to deadline.
With all our media production experience, we’ll make sure it’s seamless. Read on to find out more…
We understand how important it is to connect with your target audience, so we’ll help you pinpoint exactly where your podcast fits in with your content strategy. Then, we’ll work with you to develop the best format for your show – whether that’s a weekly interview-style podcast, expert panel discussion, immersive documentary, or something else entirely.
We’ll put together an efficient schedule for recording sessions and the rest of the production process and where possible, will record a block of episodes rather than individual sessions. We’ll also handle any necessary location planning, if some elements of your show take place outside the studio. We have the tech to accommodate remote guest contributors and make sure they enjoy being part of your production.
We know your show needs to stand out from the crowd. To make sure it’s talked about and shared, we’ll help you develop the creative vision including the title, an instantly recognisable logo, slogan and description that really resonates with your target audience.
Music and sound effects are vital when it comes to creating a great listening experience for your audience. When expertly woven-in, they set the scene, enhance the story and give your show a distinct soundscape that listeners learn to recognise. We can also create interludes if you want to include commercial breaks.
Right from the start, we’ll encourage you to think about how you’ll distribute and promote your podcast. To prepare for this we’ll help you decide what assets we should be creating, so they’re ready to use for marketing when the time comes.
Finding yourself in front of a microphone for the first time can be unnerving. We help hosts with techniques to improve delivery, boost confidence and feel at ease in an unfamiliar recording environment. We’re also happy to advise on interview techniques, delivery and authenticity.
Whether it’s leading the conversation, pacing the narrative, or building suspense in a story, recording a podcast can take a bit of practice. We make sure you feel at home in our studio or pop-up recording space, by holding a rehearsal session. This gives you a chance to try out different approaches and techniques, with us on hand to give professional and honest feedback.
After rehearsal, you’ll feel confident and ready to start recording. Our producer and sound engineer will take care of the production-side, leaving you free to focus on creating great content for your show. We know recording can be thirsty work, so there are plenty of opportunities to take a break with a cup of our excellent coffee and tea, or a cold drink.
Some podcasts, such as an investigative series, are best recorded on location. In that case, we provide mobile recording equipment and help plan the session. If guests need to be interviewed remotely, we link them to our studio using the latest podcasting technology. All your guest will need is a web-browser for us to be able to achieve superb recording quality. We can also use a studio monitor to set up a visual link between the host and the guest, putting both at ease and creating a stronger connection.
As part of our production plan for your podcast, we’ll put together several audio assets, sourced from professional sound and music libraries. We can also create bespoke sounds and effects in our studio. These add character to your show and make it a better listening experience for your audience. Listeners learn to recognise distinctive sounds, so by making sure they’re in line with your values, we can use them to boost your brand.
Adding video opens up a whole new set of possibilities for your podcast. During production, we create photo and video assets which you can use in a variety of ways. This ranges from posting your show on video-on-demand platforms such as YouTube, IGTV or Facebook Watch, to including them in your marketing or advertising campaign. We also offer multi-camera video recording options, with a range of backgrounds including green screen, so you can create a bespoke backdrop.
Once our sound engineers and producer have created a rough cut of the recorded episodes, you’ll be able to check whether the story or conversation sounds how you imagined. Working with your producer, you’ll have a chance to discuss amendments and improvements before the material moves to the next stage of post-production.
You want your listeners to enjoy your show and come back for more, so we’ll work on the sound quality to create the best possible listening experience. As part of this, we’ll fix any audio problems such as taking out ‘ums’ and ‘ers’, normalising voice volume and fine-tuning the pace of the show by adjusting silences and transitions.
At this point, we’ll add the audio elements we prepared earlier – typically these include music, risers, atmospheres, jingles and other effects which give your podcast personality and really bring it to life.
With everything fine-tuned and ready for prime time, we prepare your episodes’ files in the formats optimal for publishing. They include sound files, episodes’ artwork as well as descriptions and show notes.
Your podcast needs a reliable hosting service so that it can be fed seamlessly onto all the podcast listening platforms. We can set this up to make sure each of your show’s episodes is ready to be published around the world.
It’s a good idea to start building anticipation among your potential audience in the run-up to your show’s launch. Our marketing team can give your podcast a head start by creating a teaser campaign tailored for social media channels and advertising networks that are relevant to your brand.
Using our industry expertise, we can design and run listener growth campaigns to help your podcast gain traction faster. It’s a great way to reach your ideal audience, increase exposure and build awareness of your show among those likely to be interested in it.
Your podcast is likely to include one or more episodes that really stand out. This could be an interview with a special guest, or a key show in the series. We can create a campaign to make sure these flagship programmes don’t go unnoticed, and all your hard work pays off.
If you’re thinking about creating your own podcast, we definitely can help. Get in touch using the form below or simply email us at podcasts@prlstudio.co.uk
