Podcasting has become one of the most highly used ways to communicate with people all over the place. If you are thinking about doing something special for that person who makes your life better than a Podcast is the best way to go. You will want to consider what you are trying to say and how to say it with out sounding rehearsed or cluttered. This can take a bit of preparation and planning. It will be well worth it in the end though. Do not just set up the camera and/or microphone and start going at it. You want this to be special and something well thought out. You want to be comfortable while recording and still not act as if you are reading from a script. There should be emotion and intent behind this special Podcast.
Writing and Practicing your Podcast Before Recording
You will want to write out what you plan to say to that special someone who will be hearing or seeing this Podcast. Make sure that it makes sense and does not sound too over bearing and rehearsed. This should not be dry as if read from a card or monitor. This special Podcast should come from the heart. Even something coming from the heart should be memorized and well planned. Once what you plan to say during your Podcast is well written you will want to memorize all the words. This will enable you to be comfortable with all the things you plan to say to that special person. Once you know all the lines perfectly and with out flaw, you will be able to add your emotion into the Podcast and make it special. What you have to say is the most amazing part of this type of Podcast and will be the center of the piece.

If you have decided on a video Podcast to show your love how much you really care, pick your background with caution. The best setting is to make a photo collection that speaks volumes. Use cards and good crisp photos the two of you have enjoyed and look great in. make sure they have been edited and made into close up shots for the best viewing. Make sure that you use a really good editing tool so that the photos run smoothly back and forth through the video. You can always take extra pictures of the special things you have gotten together over the years and add them to your collection to play during your video.
Music
The music you choose for you audio or video Podcast should reflect how you feel about this person, be your song as a couple, or a simple sweet instrumental. No matter what song you pick, it should tie the whole Podcast together and not take away from what you are saying to your loved one. The music should be heard lightly in the back ground and not distract from the actual dialogue. It is always better to choose no music than to pick something that breaks apart the piece or sounds bad. Instrumentals are great for good background music when there is dialogue involved. It gives a sweet flow when there is silence but does not interrupt the actual words you will be saying to your special someone.
The full nature of your Podcast will be most evident when you begin editing. Your dialogue, photos or video, and music should all be added separately through the editing process. This will allow you to know how much music and footage you will need based on your plan and what you are saying. Once these are all spliced together and are perfect, watch and listen to it carefully. You will want to make sure before you up load it that it is exactly what you were looking for. Once you have deemed your special Podcast awesome and viewable, you can put it on the server. Make sure you have figured out a romantic way to get this person to subscribe to the Podcast. Either send them a message with a link that will bring them right to the Podcast or subscribe to it yourself and bring it up on your loved one's computer or iPod.
