How to edit

Level 1 will teach you the basics of editing: the things you need to know to make something that works. Level 2 is an extension: these are things you can do if you have time, to make your episode really shine. But if you find level 1 very challenging and you don’t want to go to level 2, you can skip it!

If you struggle with Level 1, or if you can’t get Audacity to work for you, you could ask your teacher about switching to Option A, and simply sending the recordings you’ve already made. You could still win a prize for your work this way!

One more thing to mention at this stage – once you get into editing, it might be tempting to add music to your podcast episode. But please don’t, unless it’s music you’ve written yourself. This is because most music is protected by Copyright law, and podcasters who want to use someone else’s music usually need to get their permission or pay the pay them for it.
