Review First is becoming a podcast!

At long last, I finally have a microphone! 

I've been toying with the idea of creating a vlog or podcast to accompany the Review First blog page and bring it up to speed a little bit. As much as I love writing my blog, I'm much better at talking in person, especially when it comes to music. The microphone was purchased as a gift from my boyfriend to finally get me into gear! 

I am super excited to start podcasting. Before I do, I just need to write up a podcast layout and teach myself how to use Audacity software to record and edit my podcasts. I love learning new things so I'm looking forward to watching hours of YouTube tutorials on how to do this (any advice is welcome)!

What would you want to be included in the 'Review First' podcast?

Some ideas that I have so far of what to include in my podcast (in no particular order and the podcast will probably adjust to different topics each week) include:

• Music synchronization in films/ television/ games 
• New bands and artist not in the top 40 official charts as this is what Review First specializes in 
• Small discussions about views of the music industry as a whole  
• Try and do a Q and A session with a band or artist 

If you have any other ideas that you think would be great to include in the podcast or a featured podcast then please let me know! You can drop me a message on Instagram at katie_norris96 or email me at katieajnorris@gmail.com. Most importantly be sure to go and follow my Review First Mixcloud account as this will primarily be where the Review First Podcast will be uploaded: https://www.mixcloud.com/Reviewfirst/

Lights, Camera, Action!

Review First launches into 2018! For this year, I will be looking at starting up a vlog to post on my blog page, as soon as I find a decent camera to use. This will likely mean a YouTube channel as well, so lots of exciting prospects in the pipeline.

In terms of content, the blog will still heavily review up and coming bands and artists. The hidden gems in the music world so to speak. Not only this, but I'll  be delving into a personal interest of mine which is music synchronisation and sound tracks. Basically, music which is in films or TV programmes. I find a lot of the great songs I come across are through television adverts, films or TV series. Personally, TV itself has never really been a big thing for me, however I find a lot of the great songs I come across are through television adverts, films or TV series. Depending on a film or TV show's sound track, I find it really changes my view of what I like and dislike watching. Some of my favourite songs have been discovered through programmes. I would state what these are, but this is one of my content plans for when the vlog is up and running!

All in all, I hope 2018 brings a continuous flow of new music and artists. Hopefully my search for a camera will be complete, and I can begin the Review First vlog and YouTube channel! Be sure to follow my page to find out my top 5 TV and film soundtracks.
