Podcast Strategy

Launch Your Podcast

Launching a podcast can be daunting, so it’s great to have someone who’s got your back from start to launch! You’ve got your podcast idea, so now what? I’m your accountability partner to get your podcast started and continue publishing episodes with tons of fun!

We’ll go through all aspects of launching your show! Typically, I work with women entrepreneurs or women-led organizations who are overwhelmed by creating a podcast and don’t know where to start. We collaborate to create a powerful persuasive podcast that engages listeners to take action. So that they can build their influence & impact, to create credibility AND visibility. Even if they don’t think they understand the tech or that anyone will listen!

Imagine having listeners hanging on your every word no matter where they are or what they’re doing, reaching thousands of listeners, that has the power to persuade, for you to become the authority in your field.

Perhaps you already parts of your podcast ready to launch and want a second opinion. How is your show sounding? Is it too long or too short? Is my intro/outro up to par? What about my artwork? What can I do to streamline my workflow? Am I missing anything!?! I’ll audit your show to develop strategies to improve what you are already doing to amplify your podcast!

Audio consulting is another aspect I love; mics, recording software, and how to get a clean recording are all things we can chat about.

Podcast Coaching

Amplify Your Podcast

The best way to market your brand awareness is through your voice by podcasting. When you are selling yourself, your product or your service, lacking in self-confidence, worrying about the sound of your voice, what to say next, or not knowing how to read a script with impact will stop your audience from taking action.

Underrepresented individuals are especially vulnerable when using their voices effectively. Our voices are policed, politicized, and criticized, to minimize our thoughts and power. Let me assist you in eliminating that fear to cultivate confidence and courage to speak with spirit.

My specialty is in voice direction where you’ve got a script and you want it to come to life, to sound authentic, and to make sure it doesn’t sound like you’re reading. This is especially true for pre-produced intros, outros, and trailers.

Perhaps you are editing your show, but know it takes time away from focusing on your content. How many hours are you spending on editing and uploading? You can use that time to create more content for your episodes!

Audio editing is an art form and stylistically, we collaborate on how you want to sound with proper pacing and emotion to align with your brand, without policing or criticizing you or your guests’ voices by removing too many filler words and crutch phrases like “uh”, “um”, “like”, “you know”, etc. It’s all part of your natural speech, so we don’t want voices to sound like disjointed robots! Some of these words have a job and with professional audio editing, you and your guests will sound powerful.

Mary is a sound engineering genius.

I honestly don’t know if I would still be making the show if I hadn’t found Mary.

Mary’s so much more than a sound engineer. She is a generous and wise coach.

I recommend Mary without hesitation to a podcaster at any stage of show development.

Mary’s generosity and curiosity was what sealed the deal for me.

She helped me feel safe to be myself and that made me confident to start recording!
