Make a Great Podcast Intro

[@BaileyBlurbs]

Literally me starting my podcast tonight in my bedroom before my roommate gets home with no audio/visual/editing experience what so ever!! Starting fast and getting off the ground is an understatement !

[@ChristianStuffPodcast]

TheBlurbs D. How is your pod going? Stick with it? What’s the KZbin?

[@Ghostfanofurs]

Understandable, though dabbling in film editing myself I'm rather questioning " Isn't Podcasting based on solely Audio ? " What is the purpose for everything else aside from using as sound effects. Visual needs ?

[@spinxsunyi]

how is it going?

[@iranaespearman]

🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣Hey guys I’m just starting out in the Podcasting world! Check it out for laughs and funny content ! We are drinking in these so pour it up! anchor.fm/LetsSip 🥂💋🗣

[@TheShutterSessions]

@@iranaespearman just had a listen there on Spotify. You need more enthusiasm in your voice I'd say, every sentence sounded like it was an effort for you.

[@GilbertParris]

Key point, getting started was way more important than being perfect....

[@Jamieforeals]

Needed to read this 😭

[@withlovevene3774]

I love them all, but you can definitely see the growth.

[@Arnesrm]

I'm pretty much binge watching your whole channel right now and want to thank you for being as real as you are - not as over the top as most people think you'd need to be on KZbin. I really appreciate your minimalism, and the way you tell your stories. Effecient, simple, true. Also I'd enjoy to see more stuff about filmmaking, although I find the whole topic around minimalism interesting.

[@lovenada1970]

Matt, i m marathoning (is there such a word) ur direct messages, and i am mind blown by how sincere u are. Ur explanations r clear n filled with important info. A born teacher.

[@HollyLeeCoaching]

I have been watching you in the last 3-years. I remembered being the earlier patrons supporter to your work. It’s awesome to see your growth and work with The Minimalism. ❤️

[@simplysoothesounds]

Love it! Getting started is more important than being perfect! I keep getting hung up thinking it has to be perfect

[@aliabdaal]

[@futuredoc8238]

I like how you talk on camera. It’s not obnoxious like so many youtubers.

[@shaunallen7927]

I started a podcast about 5 weeks ago and now I’m working on intros. This really helped out. I definitely hit that subscribe button.

[@CompleteHealthControl]

Your latest iteration is a real inspiration. Thanks for sharing your process and evolution.

Needed this! Wifey and got back in podcasting. Back with visual now and was debating on a intro or not..

[@BillThisdell]

The music you picked for your quick and dirty intro is the same track I picked for a little client promo I shot a year or so ago! So true about spending hours looking for the right track; I'm getting to the point where I can tell in the first second or so if it's what I'm looking for. I really like the music you've settled on for these videos! Solid tips!

[@mattdavella]

Same here. Sometimes a couple skips through the track and then I'm on to the next.

[@BillThisdell]

Matt D'Avella exactly. I find looking at the waveform also helps.

[@condawgs6520]

Hey I know this was a year ago but can you remember the song name? It's exactly what I'm looking for, a quick punchy over and done with song

[@ericaaguirre6881]

You’re really becoming one of my favorite KZbinrs. Great work !

[@mattdavella]

Hey thanks Erica! That means a lot :)

[@lyndonbridgefallingdown9365]

Thanks matt. Love how you always share how you do things, this helps a lot specially to us aspiring videographers/youtubers/filmmakers. Continue to inspire creators.

[@shanticaholder743]

Your a Genius how you just show your growth is amazing!!!

[@KelseyLeighV]

Your podcast is honestly my favorite. I watch/listen every episode! The video clip for Rich Roll's podcast was what first got my attention, and I think it's little things like that and your main intro that really make it stand out. So cool to see what went into it! You also exhibited how to do a great outro ie. Be hilarious 😅

[@mattdavella]

Thanks Kelsey!!!

[@PatrickParker]

I only know you from your most recent videos but checked this one out to help with my new podcast. Interesting to see you from previous years! :)

[@bertrandperdomo-ucles1391]

Matt, thank you for the resources and advice. I appreciate you and what you stand for.

[@luisfranciscosainzdemedran2090]

In Spain we don´t have many podcasters, i want to change this. Thanks Matt

[@andrearittinger7424]

I found your channel about a month ago and I'm loving it - such high production value. Definitely going to check out the documentary on Netflix.

[@mattdavella]

Thanks!

[@MykalHall]

Thanks for the tip about using markers at the base drops to help with the pacing of the video. Also keeping the scene tight. My two takeaways from this.

[@moos9]

yo how are u verified bro?!

[@SuzaideeMohdShom]

again... another short but very informative video. Love it especially on the marker part... Thanks :)

[@ProducerDanUSA]

Very inspiring. I was glad to hear pond5 mentioned as my audio portfolio is going up there gradually. I was not entirely clear on use of markers.

[@mikoajpszczoka3494]

Hey, this is one of the greatest video about how to do it!. Briliant job! Keep going!

[@jayantakghosh9793]

Loved that humour. And ofcourse your advice. 👍👍

[@the-creative-block]

This was a great video. I've never thought about doing these sorts of things for a podcast but as I;'m working on one now, these tips couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks!

[@rvnaumenko5643]

Dope intro brother. The current one is absolutely superb.

[@tdeedee0071]

You are so funny. Your last intro was the best The information you provided was so helpful.

[@cynthiadanielle5720]

Just discovered your channel. Fantastic. Love it! Keep creating

[@chrismcphee2060]

Yo...i saw your doc on minimalism!! DOPE doc!!!

[@MusharafAsghar]

What an awesome video! Keep up the good work man

[@TMonique]

Matt, you're always a win with the information!!! Thanks!

[@gdscaceit]

2022 is about to end and I am reinforcing myself to create new identity leading to good process or system and then my outcomes will be my byoroduct starting today at the age of 22 I don't feel shame to start now because it's more important to start at the very outset rather than being perfect. #If u want better results then forget about setting goals.Focus on your system instead.

[@FreshUKPodcast]

Love this guy! We also have a brand new podcast show in the UK 😊

[@mindfulmoments1895]

Thank you so much for this! I get so much from all of your videos...I'm a bit late to the Matt D'Avella party, but better later than never. Such great information. Much appreciation.

[@coltengibbs5404]

The last one actually makes me want to listen to your podcast 👍🏼 sounds interesting

[@bookofthoughtsx]

This video is all I need. Amazing.

[@ocuidighthigh3340]

Great advice for a beginner! Thanks man for all your hard work. It has really helped me a lot starting from "The Ground up". :)

[@kingdompartnerships]

thanks for this ! I am not super creative but will try and get good at it and create a sick intro

[@cluebug]

You are super talented. It’s obvious! After a few times of an into tho, I try to skip them. On the podcast channel I can hit the 15 sec speed up x amount of times. More challenging on KZbin! 🤷‍♀️

[@mattdavella]

Yeah, it's mostly for the new listeners.

[@Kimkitchenomists]

Argh. This is super cool!!! I just started podcasting. Wow thanks for this info.

[@chrismcphee2060]

DOPE color grade Matt!!

[@charlidarling6601]

Omg thank you so much for this. I'm researching what to do to create my podcast with some friends and this was amazingly helpful 👊❤

[@abemillettmusic]

Great video. Music is important. I’m actually a production music composer that’s watching this to make videos to help showcase my music! I compose custom music of almost any genre, but am looking to make myself available to podcasters and you tubers that want custom music. I realized I’m handicapped by not having “show reels” for my compositions, so watching your channel has been quite helpful. Thanks for the info. It was simple and easy to understand and if you ever need custom cues, please feel free to reach out!

[@ricardoelizondocr]

Thank you so much Matt! 🙌 You are a great inspiration to me and my process as an entrepreneur, minimalist and future filmmaker 🎥🇨🇷

[@Swarnimshow]

thank you sir this really helped men alot to get idea

[@luboyanev]

The third intro definitely gives more context, but man the second intro was fire with that tune :)

[@mattdavella]

Yeah, I did like that track. I have trouble when I hear something too many times I get sick of it. So after like 500 listens it became... too much.

[@edwardstrozier2576]

really u yt? :) ififurrrtewwe k/

[@PixelShaun]

jsut started a podcast and the intro idea will help a lot! thanks

[@willhelliwell]

We have hour-long episodes but I think our intros definitely need to be more succinct. Thanks for the tips and example intro.

[@autofigure00]

I never saw a correlation between the GROUND UP show and coffee grounds, WOW. That's pretty clever and cool though. I like it a lot.

[@AntMancini]

I like the basic idea in the beginning of just starting quickly. But yeah, polish should be added over time. Thanks brotha!

[@stepstate]

Cool idea to show a video intro for your podcast - love it!!

[@JoshuaAfolabi]

Making my intro this morning!!

[@Gunheadchicka]

Great video and tips! Thank you!

[@abrilherrera9523]

I'm just starting my podcast. If you felt like you were too late in 2017, imagine how I feel right now! But I have the same thought: I just want to get started and then start improving. Anyway, thanks for the tips. :)

[@KalleFlodin]

You're never to late 😉 Hope it goes well with the podcast 🙏

[@MMWA.F]

these are some great shots

[@smurrell89]

Okay I'm in Subscribed

[@Axyn_Irbis]

"pretty expensive camera kit" this kit is too expensive for me to even be shocked by it. Great video though, love the whole vibe of your videos and podcast. Any tips on finding your "theme" when making a podcast?

[@mattdavella]

Ha yeah. I got it back when I did commercial work and could justify the investment. Now I use it to make KZbin videos 🤦. I'd suggest following your interests. I've always been fascinated with people's story's & the struggle to make things happen. So my work naturally went in that direction.

[@Axyn_Irbis]

Matt D'Avella it makes some absolutely beautiful shots, so I'm personally quite happy you made the investment. Thanks for the reply, remind me to fly you out to the Netherlands when my podcast becomes a huge success (hey, we can all dream right?).

[@alexanneschronicles]

omg I've been watching your videos for a couple months and I didn't know that you made a documentary on minimalism for Netflix :O

[@ladyindira]

Thank you for the music library link and tips! Cheers!

[@oliverfluxkompensator3431]

These Intros are really great.

[@Outdoorkings]

Great video and man whatever camera your recording with now is amazing

[@Neobright1]

Great video Matt! I would love to see a video showing your hardware setup - mics, cameras, lighting etc. Thanks for creating great, visually appealing, content!

[@jpricethereason]

Very helpful video. Thanks!

[@Shaymangoh86]

Why i only watch this video now. Amazing....

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Thanks for the inspiration - my podcast has been going on for so long but now I want to take it to the next level alongside my KZbin channel and begin with an Episode 0 that resets my podcast (not deleting the old stuff) but starting with a fresh new look. I'll make it both audio and video in a sense - primarily it will be audio, but some of my fans like to listen to it on KZbin, so I might film myself with a webcam recording the podcast for those who want a visual aid - that would give me a solid reason to film a cool intro - like the stuff on tight shots as well, I just upgraded my camera with a Sigma 18-35mm lens with bokeh - i could do some great board game shots and get some B-roll footage...........

[@hoomansepantamehr7966]

Thanks for your good tips. Could you please suggest a couple good microphones for podcasting?

[@SociallyPowerful]

Super interesting man. Starting from the ground up ourselves, we find what you do to be super inspiring 💪

[@SimpLeeBeth]

Great tips! It rare when I do a YT search and end up finding a vid from channel I'm actually subbed to 😊 SCORE! ❤😘

[@cgaumerd]

Thank you for your sharing.

[@DavidOldenburg1]

Excellent video!

[@z.brightt]

Love this bro

[@juanamaya6278]

I would love to see more filmmaking videos!!!!

[@theliveforyoupodcast2774]

Thanks for the tips Matt..they were just what I needed..appreciate it man.

[@GenuinelyMorgan]

Love these videos I was curious to know what type of equipment you're using, I like the sound of your mic over a lot of podcast I've been listening to audio is obviously the most important part! Thinking about making a podcast of my own, thought this would mention some of the equipment 😔 linking it in the description of your podcasts could help others as well if you have affiliate links, if not still very interested.

[@FilipLjungberg]

Also want to know what type of equipment.

[@TheOtherChef]

where has this been in my life???

[@macsnapsmedia]

Amazing progression! Sidenote. Holy shit the channel growth your getting is truly inspiring!

[@mattdavella]

Thanks, Christian! It's been a weird couple months.

[@macsnapsmedia]

With what is sure to be an even weirder next few months. Keep on killin it man!

[@Bia-starlight]

Thank you so much! I'm thinking of submitting a podcast for my homework. :))

[@ghostghost5500]

Very inspirational and transparent Matt. You have easily gained a new subscriber. I was wondering if you provide workshops or classes for new film makers and podcasters?

[@asmaaet-taoudi8187]

Slowgrowth

[@chanaestaples5774]

Great video, how do I become a member on your pod cast to deliver to the world what I bring to the table.

[@davidprecht4949]

The last tone reminds me of the Mad Men Intro

[@Blvq4_TV]

Love the video! I found this to be very informative for what I am doing. Keep up the vids Mat!

[@joangriffin9746]

Nice presentation and looks great. Over 5 minutes until an actual demo of editing music etc and some words and terms in photography section not understood. Looking for really clear instructions, but great to see what you have achieved

[@UsmanYousafOfficial]

I really like the quality of footage you've put in

[@underthemoon3417]

This was super helpful! Thank you!

[@megasuzyp]

Love the goofiness... Oh and the great tips!!

[@darinasa4428]

Thank you so much. I just started my podcast and this is a huge inspiration for me!

[@sparklelee4368]

very beautiful intros......all of them.....what does coffee have to do w youtube creators podcast?

[@thedentico]

3:55 it starts

[@jorgee_pena]

The real MVP

[@mikavanraamsdonk2933]

Akanksha Aditi thx

[@Mylove_Mkm]

Thanks

[@jetta2707]

Hahhaha holy shit, thanks

[@lesfuller5984]

Always love your content, Matt! I would only take issue with the comment 30 seconds in, regarding being told “it wasn’t too late to get into the game”, and you feeling “the ship had sailed”. Audio podcasts, and even video podcasts have been around for over 15 years, just take the TWIT network as an example. “Podcasting” has recently become the next “bandwagon” to be on, but in reality, it wasn’t much appreciated by the majority in the past.

[@oloominatingtheword4431]

Great advice man. I think I'm going to try some of your tips with my KZbin Podcast

[@zwehtetnainai6904]

Great video. I'M definitely visiting your podcasts 🙏

[@BrittanyDoyle]

which camera/lens are you using for this video? it looks amazing!

[@ArtParlor]

DAMN that third intro was so epic!!

[@kentwood2914]

Dope for sure! Readthelabl.com is starting out in the podcast world, so excited to use your ideas!

[@i.am.bethanyanne]

I mean.. These are amazing!!!!!!!! Like how did they keep getting better lol

[@RestoreITdontJunkIT]

Hahaha... great video, the ending was EPIC... 🤣

[@hannibalcollins2750]

Thanks. I'm making my own theme and and that was some good pointers.

[@eimanyounis762]

Great tips!
