The Making Of
I am planning on doing a lets play, or podcast ( same thing ) this week. I have some things planned out, but I need some more ideas on what I should do
Depends on how good you are at Minecraft, and what specialties you have. Most successful lets plays are someone that starts a new world and shows everything they do to get their awesome base.

That's kinda what I was thinking. But instead having all the supplies ready so viewers won't have to watch me punch wood and stuff

Not a bad idea.

But think most lets plays do it the other way, I guess people want to watch others punching trees xD

To make a lets play consider;
  • Good quality microphone
  • At least 16/deeper voice (no one likes lets plays with high pitched children)
  • Runs Minecraft with no lag while recording
  • Knows a lot about Minecraft trivia to keep the audience interested
  • Confident speaker
  • Capable of writing a good script

Yep, cover most of that, I am not thinking about writing a script, but I want to write ideas down and talk about them as I go. I will probably make it tomorrow.

I'd feel more comfortable if you got a recording of your voice, and sent it to me. I hate it when 10 year olds think they're cool and try to do some sort of commentary.
I know you're not 10, but what I really hate is the high-pitched voices. You probably don't have one, but let's check just to be sure (sounds different through the mic, too).

Heres a video of me talking
YouTube - longcatislonong1's Channel

Sorry, in that video I am not enthusiastic, but during my podcast/lets play I will be, and I sound weird because I was using a shitty mic and I was sick.

EDIT: Anyway, I set up the Minecraft world I am going to use for tomorrow. I will also figure out how to upload to iTunes, which should be fairly easy. Going to upload to Youtube as well. Any other suggestions gladly appreciated.

Awesome, you don't sound 10.
What recorder are you going to use?

Fraps, never had problems with it. I am not planning on doing too much editing, so I will probably use Windows Movie Maker to render

Don't use WMM, because the quality gets lowered by a shit ton.
Use Sony Vegas to render.

Weird, last time I rendered a video using WMM it was okay quality at 480p. But if you insist I will use Sony Vegas 10. It will take longer to render though
You have a good voice for recording.

Thats so very nice of you to say
Id be down for some lets plays. I have a more stable connection and can actually stay in games, still cant do any uploads of actual videos though.
I finished mine and its almost done uploading. @Heartview for the next episode we can do a lets play on a server I can make
