Listen to the room first
A treated room matters more than an expensive microphone. Clap your hands when you walk in. If the room rings, your recording will too.
Count the cameras
Most podcasts now go out as video. Ask how many cameras you get and whether each speaker has their own angle.
Ask who runs the session
Find out whether a technician stays in the room. Someone watching the sound and the framing leaves you free to think about the conversation.
Know what you leave with
Raw files, a finished edit, or short clips. Check which one the price covers before you book.
Check how you get there
Bangkok traffic decides whether your guest arrives calm. A studio close to a BTS or MRT station saves everyone the stress.
What a studio session involves.
Before the day
Decide the topic, the number of speakers and anything you want on screen, such as a logo or a show title. Send your guest the topic, not a script.
Arrival
Come 15 minutes early. That covers microphone placement, a sound check and framing each camera, with time left for your guest to settle.
Recording
Talk to your guest, not to the microphone. If you stumble, pause and start the sentence again. A clean restart is easy to cut.
After
You leave with your files, or with an edit on the way if you booked one. Back up the raw recording the same day.
Podcasting best practice.
Know the one thing the episode is about
If you can't say it in a sentence, your listener won't be able to either.
Open with the best moment
The first 30 seconds decide whether people stay. Put your strongest line there and save the introductions for later.
Ask shorter questions
Your guest is the reason people listen. A short question gets a longer answer.
Stay close to the microphone
About a hand's width away, speaking across it. Distance is the most common cause of thin, echoing audio.
Record video, even for an audio show
Short clips are how new listeners find a podcast. You can't cut clips from a show you never filmed.
Keep a schedule you can hold
An episode every two weeks, kept up for a year, beats a daily show that stops in March.
Common questions.
How much does a podcast studio in Bangkok cost?
It depends on the length of the session and whether you want editing. Current rates are on the Just for Creators booking page.
Do I need my own equipment?
No. A studio session includes the microphones, cameras and lighting. Bring your notes and your guest.
Can I record a video podcast?
Yes. Video is how most of our shows are recorded, with a camera on each speaker.
How long should an episode be?
As long as it stays interesting. Most interview shows sit between 30 and 60 minutes.
Can you produce the whole show for me?
Yes. That is Modal's podcast production service, which covers the concept, recording, editing and launch.
