How Waveroom Helps an Aspiring Creator to Record an HQ Video Podcast
"After getting Waveroom, I can record high-quality video chats, which I couldn’t do before."
At Waveroom, our mission is to help your creativity flow without boundaries. And by boundaries, we mean not just costly subscriptions but bulky feature-stuffed solutions that are too complex to master. Be it a podcast, interview, video, or any other creative piece, we want to be part of it and inspire you along the way. To achieve the latter and build the community of creatives in the process, we’re talking to our creators who are open to sharing their stories, insights, and inspiring our community for more creative venues.
For this story, we sat down with Madyson Kate, a social media manager, photographer, dancer, choreographer, and now also a podcaster to talk about her creative journey and how Waveroom helped her along the way.
I don’t have an aesthetic, I am the aesthetic.
My motto is "I don’t have an aesthetic, I am the aesthetic." This melds well with my podcast because it’s all about my opinions, hot takes, conspiracy theories.
I love talking on my podcast like I’m just sharing all the gossip with my best friends. I always would send my friends super long videos on Snapchat or post them on my private story, just ranting about things and telling stories. So I decided that I should start writing down all the things I wanna yap about throughout the week and then film it as a podcast. I do mainly solo episodes but I do have guests occasionally. I usually find them on Instagram or MatchMaker.fm.
My podcast is definitely a hobby, but if I can get it monetized, it would be a dream.
If I can get my podcast to be somewhat popular, I would be ecstatic.
I just started a few weeks ago, so my audience is still growing but, from what I see so far, it’s very diverse. I have people between the ages of 17-45 listening and watching; however, I see a pattern that my female viewers are more prominent than my male.
To grow and distribute my podcast, I use Spotify for Podcasters (previously known as Anchor.fm) and I use the RSS feed to distribute it to other platforms. I currently have 91 listeners average but I’m noticing that number growing with each podcast!
I have ADHD, and my brain is always questioning things and creating new ideas, so it’s easy for me to ramble if I just say exactly what I’m thinking. Honestly, it’s just taking all the things my brain comes up with during a week mixed with some basic knowledge of my favourite topics like metaphysical and such.
All I do is write bullet points of each topic throughout the week that I find interesting, and I can talk about for a decent amount of time, and then when it comes time to record, I completely improvise the entirety of the filler.
I came across Waveroom, did a test run, and it worked great!
It was my first interview podcast and I was looking for a platform where I can host a video chat and record it at the same time while keeping the high-quality audio. I hadn’t looked for anything of the sort before, so I searched on Google for a little while and came across Waveroom. I did a test run with my mic and it worked great, so I decided to use it for my interview.
When it comes to Waveroom, my #1 goal is to seamlessly record and download video chats. The straightforward, easy-to-use display attracted me to the product after I first tried it. It’s so simple to copy the link and send it to my guests. All they have to do is click it and join the room. And recording is also very easy. The experience was great, and I had no issues connecting with my guest.
What convinced me to give the product a try? It’s free!
After getting Waveroom, I can record high-quality video chats, which I couldn’t do before. I just use it to record chats with guests, so it makes it much easier to record—it’s made it super easy to video chat with multiple people while recording at the same time. As well as being able to download in a quality acceptable for video podcasts. I also considered Zoom and Google Meet, but it was way easier to use Waveroom and download quality was much higher.
My first go was with Brandi Van, who is a psychic medium. You can see our episode below.
Apart from Waveroom, for podcasting I use Audacity to record audio, I have a Zeal Sound microphone with a boom, I use my Nikon D5100 to record video, and I use Capcut Premium to merge my audio and video files together and cut out any blank spaces.
I absolutely would recommend Waveroom to other creatives—it’s so easy to use, the meeting rooms are easily accessed, and the quality of downloads is great!
