While reading a book, I came across Thomas J. Barrak, an executive chairman of a real estate and investment management firm called Colony Capital, Inc. It turned out he was behind Mickael Jackson’s comeback tour of 2009 to re-launch his career (Mickael ODed and the re-launch has never happened), as well as a bailout of his Neverland Ranch. My objective is to satisfy my curiosity and look closer into investments in distressed entertainment assets, particularly in the recording industry, thus also make other people aware of these distressed entertainment assets.
In my opinion, it would be the most convenient to have a solo-monologue podcast since it is easier to edit a single track. I am well aware that I cannot start my analysis of the recording work unless I have entirely familiarized myself with the job. In that regard, Interviews might not be applicable; however, consultations with friends who have extensive expertise in private equity will be necessary to produce the most complete and exciting output.
Before the recording is done, I have to write and edit the script, edit it, rehearse reading it to make sure that I can meet the timelines. Closer to recording, all the available equipment at hand for the exercise must be tested: my headphones, the laptop, and Audacity software which I found online. Since I have no recording experience, I cannot predict which part of the podcast will be the most challenging. To avoid multiple interruptions, I will need to rehearse the script’s reading on several days, and after a few trial paragraphs, it will be possible to record an entire piece. No doubt audio processing will be necessary, but I don’t know yet what it will take to edit the recording.
My research topic is interesting to me, and I hope it will also be interesting for my listeners. Without foreseeing problems with the amount of research material and information available on my topic, I am still a little insecure about my inadequate recording editing skills; this is the only difficulty that I will probably have to face. Also, I presume to face some discomfort writing the script because it’s my first t time doing that, besides it is a time-consuming exercise since the script should be flawless.
