The Benefits Of A Podcast Script

Having a script for your podcast will remove the stress, help you focus on sounding good and speaking at a steady pace. Last but not least a script will help you stick to the point, focus on your vocals like enunciation, removing filler words, vocal inflection etc.…

So what are the benefits of a podcast script:

• Control: If you want your episode to end up exactly the way you wanted it to be, you have to be in control. It is highly important to boost your confidence and approach the recording sessions with certainty.

• Stay within the target time for each episode: Having a script  for your podcast upfront will allow you to always land within the target time for each episode.

• Guarantees to hit all points: Since we are all busy, remembering everything we need to cover is very counterproductive and takes a lot of mental capacity. That's why it is essential to have a good list of things you need to cover.

• Planned transitions: One of the most challenging elements of podcasting is having smooth transitions between big topics within an episode. With a podcast script you can prepare those transitions upfront and you don’t have to worry about awkward pauses, instead the flow of your episode will be as smooth as possible.

• Relieves stress: A scripted podcast allows you to approach the recording session with more confidence, you will feel prepared and relaxed that you did enough preparation to record a good episode.

• Gives you freedom: On the contrary to what most people think you don't always have to stick to your script. Your podcast script should allow you to hit all the necessary points, but if you have a good idea during a recording session allow yourself this freedom.
