Sound Effects You Can Use in Audacity

Podcasts are a great tool for storytelling. When created with the best audio quality, you can be sure to attract listeners online. And who knows, they may be interested in downloading them as well.

When recording a story, however, it can be a bit boring if you simply narrate everything. There’s a way to make it more interesting and you can do that by adding some background music and special effects. This will make your podcast more lively and appealing to your target audience.

Podcasts that tell stories are great for children. Make sure you choose those that are not too long and have an interesting plot.

Background music

Incorporating some background music does not necessarily have to cover the entire time of your storytelling. Perhaps you can use it in the introduction portion, in the middle and then in the last part. Sometimes, it’s helpful that music is played only at certain sections of the story to allow your followers to clearly understand the story.

Changin’ & arrangin’ 2

Yep, there’s a part two as well. It has of course much the same sound to it as part 1 but features a solo trumpet instead of a solo guitar.
