JamesW Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hey all, I have been thinking that I should do a podcast that would be about ten minutes long. All it would do is give updates on Canadians playing abroad and at home. Please let me know what you think about this new idea I have. I will give more info out soon.

Cheeta Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Ha, ha. Holy, Jamit. You're a house on fire these days, eh? Not bad I guess, pretty good idea. You might want to move back from the mic' a wee bit though. (Yeah, man. You're gonna need to work on the names a bit there. Whoaa. Pretty stiff delivery too. Workable thought).

Stu Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Not bad Jamit!! I know it doesn't look like it but Leicester is pronounced "Less-ter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other names you can help me with? I just did a new show. Take a look at Feedburner: http://feeds.feedburner.com/CanuckReport Again it is more or less a test.

redhat Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hey Jamit, I had a listen to your podcast and must say I am generally pleased with it. It's the first, so it can only get better. I would suggest the use of a windscreen with your mic so that the popping of p's and sharpness of "s" sounds would not be as pronounced. Maybe the use of a limiter or a good EQ would help as well, only if you are using higher-end equipment like an M-Audio Podcaster. If not, you can also cover the mic with some packaging foam. As for the pronounciation, that can be tricky. I would suggest familiarizing yourself with soccer broadcasts. You may want to download some torrents from Massive Attack on past Canuck games, and I can send you some DVDs as well. Just email me. Soo... Hirschfeld is "hersh--feld" and Leicester is "less-ter", among others. And the German and Dutch names/teams can be a pain, but it can be overcome. If the guys and girls at FSWC can overcome their initial problems so can you. Even now, they can't pronounce "Werder Bremen" properly; it should be pronounced "Verder Brayh-men". (I do have German clients who corrected me on this.) Anyways I really appreciate your efforts in doing this for the Voyageurs, as we can only get better, stronger, and larger in numbers. Cheers.

After listening to the second show, please tell me if the "p" sounds and "s" sounds were done any better. quote:Originally posted by redhat As for the pronounciation, that can be tricky.

Are all German names that start with "W" pronunced with a "V" sound? quote:Originally posted by redhat Anyways I really appreciate your efforts in doing this for the Voyageurs, as we can only get better, stronger, and larger in numbers.

redhat Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Are all German names that start with "W" pronunced with a "V" sound? Ja. "W's" are "V's" and "V's" are "F's". So "Volkswagen" is really "folks-vagen". But that's beeing too much of a stickler. Anyways the fact that you're doing something about Canadian soccer is pretty impressive in my books. Cheers.

brandon Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 agreed. although, you may get some stick on here i'm sure everyone appreciates the effort. ahh i remember when i was younger and full of enthusiasm........give him a few more months of following this team and he'll be more cynical than Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Just to let you know, Friday I am going to review Canada's game against Hungary. But, I am not going to be reading at all. The last two shows I have read almost every thing. So on Friday I should sound less "stiff". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 I just put the next episode up. I did it last night but never got it on the net. As I said in the Podcast, I did almost no reading. I didn't like this show at all. Let me know if you like it. Edit: Feedburner has not added the newest show yet. But it should be added really soon.

JamesW Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Show number 4 is up. I think it is better then all the other ones, but I need to know what you guys think.

BrennanFan Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 you know, i was thought this was going to be some amateur cheesy thing not worth my time, but it was actually pretty good and useful. i mean, it was all the info from our most important weekly thread, put forth in a succinct, clear, straighforward podcast. especially useful (to me) would be more on the position of the teams in their tables, which we dont often get a picture of on the forum. also, dont overuse the word 'however' you can use other words too (nevertheless, although, though, etc), And a little more emotion, changing up voice level and tone would be good. overall, it made me think of my dream show idea, which is a late night Canadian Soccer Magazine/Recap show where highlights of all our canadians abroad would be shown, in addition to general canadian soccer news and maybe like a 'spotlight' interview piece on one of our players each week. anyways, if youre going to be serious about this, it wouldnt be a bad idea to link a weekly recap podcast to the Canadians Abroad threads. oh, and Bochum is pronounced Bockum (i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Starting to get the hang of it. I've always said Bochum "bow-come". Right or wrong, I'm going to keep saying it that way. Can't wait until Energie Cottbus take on Casey Keller and "bow-roos moo-shun-glawd-bawck" Going to love to hear you work your way through that one. By the by, if you've got broadband (and I'll guess that you do) and the time (not so sure about that) you can find all sort of video highlights out there which can help you with the names of players, teams and places. Can take a bit of looking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea. Next show I will include standings for teams with Canadian players on. quote:also, dont overuse the word 'however' you can use other words too (nevertheless, although, though, etc) I love the word "however", but I guess I did not keep an eye on how much I was using it, sorry. In the future I will try not to over use it. quote:And a little more emotion, changing up voice level and tone would be good. It is very hard when you are reading something to do that.

Bertuzzi44 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yea much better Jamit! perhaps instead of using titles like "the fourth edition" etc, you can start using something like "This is the Canuck report for the week of November 20th"... otherwise good job. I actually didn't hear the news about Serioux until I heard it on your report! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but when I am talking about a specific competition (like Canada vs. Hungary) or a specific (like the Gold Cup), what do I do? Maybe I should say, the fourth edition, recaping Canadian Soccer stories that have happend from ... to ...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
