Should I Eat Before Recording?

Quick Daily Podcasting Tips by Alitu

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about what you should eat before a recording session. It’s worth saying right away, that, unless you run an ASMR podcast, you probably want to avoid eating *during* a recording session. Some podcasters feel they have more energy if they’re in a bit of a fasted state when they get behind the mic. Others will snack beforehand on foods that aren’t likely to dry out their mouth or cause brain fog. Many voice coaches swear by green apples for hydrating the mouth. Some other podcasters we know use liquorice to soothe their throats. Nuts and seeds also make for useful pre-recording snacks, whilst common things to avoid are dairy, overly-salty foods, and refined sugars. But, you should always get to know your own body and your own reaction to foods. Everyone’s different, after all. So only ever do what works best for you.
