Improving your internet videos

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Almost every web page for a business that is truly serious about its work is now including some form of video on their web page or as part of their overall marketing package. Video tours, tutorials, promo videos and advertisements are all common ways people are integrating video into their marketing plan. Most of these videos have a common element that they are lacking however, and that is a polished and professional audio track that features the voice of a professional voice over talent. Most, or at least a great number, of these videos are made with screen capture programs, or with very basic footage that is easy to use to create something that is visually interesting. There is some great software available that makes it easy for people to make professional looking videos, but no program can teach the skills required to create a professional quality voice over. Regardless of your voice, your equipment, and your message, unless you have training and experience it can be very hard to match up to the quality of a professional in this area. By hiring a voice over artist, you are going to make your video stand out from the crowd. **End Summary** Topics: Internet business]]> online business marketing]]> video marketing]]> voice overs]]> professional voice talent]]> professional voice overs]]> voice overs services]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> With over decade of performing and recording experience, Matt Josdal is committed to brining the absolute best in professional voice acting to his small business clients.

Don't lose leads: Having a proper hold message

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0500

We've all had the experience. You call a business, and are greeted with one of two things, either someone picks up the phone immediately, or you are sent to a pre-recorded message either asking you to leave a voice mail, or to hold. As a business owner, you should look at the on-hold message as a place to serve your customers, and to improve your own sales. By having a professional and informative holding message or voice mail greeting, you are going to help improve both customer satisfaction, and your own sales. There are several things that need to be avoided no matter what when it comes time for you to establish an audio greeting or recording for your phone system. By all means, you must avoid cheesy or annoying hold music. This is responsible for more hang ups than any other factor when it comes to pre-recorded messages. You should also try to avoid hard selling the customer through your hold messages. **End Summary** Topics: On Hold Messages]]> small business sales]]> marketing strategy small business]]> professional voice overs]]> professional voice over actor]]> increase sales]]> pr]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Any Voice is a professional voice over company that is devoted to providing its business clients with voice overs that are going to improve sales and customer satisfaction.

The internet's largest population group is quickly becoming those who are trying to make money online. There is a large gap between those who try to make a living online though, and those who actually do it. The two things that someone wanting to make money online absolutely cannot be without are a great product, and a great website. If you already have a great product, then the only thing holding you back might be your website. So, how can you stand out from the hundreds of competitive websites in your area of specialty? Through the intelligent use of professional mutlimedia materials. Now, we're not talking about full flash websites that cost thousands of dollars to design here. Putting a few pieces, or even one, of professional audio or video into your site can quickly make your site stand out from the west.

The Benefits of Podcasting in Business

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

With the amount of potential customers online growing every day, podcasting is becoming an extremely effective method for widening your personal customer base. The advent of the internet brought a new level of customer interaction to companies all over the world, and podcasts can be viewed as a similar innovation in terms of the way they can increase the level of communication between a company, and a consumer. Short of actually speaking to a customer on the phone, a podcast may be the closest to real communication that a company can get, making it one of the most valuable tools in your marketing toolbox. Everyone now expects hundreds of emails, mostly junk, in their inbox every single day. As a result, it has become increasingly impersonal, and increasingly unread. Podcasting on the other hand can make the customer feel a connection to your company or your brand, the way a phone call or a letter can, but with much less time and cost for the value. Listening is still the best way for people to take in information and retain it, so what better way to educate people about your business than through an audio medium? **End Summary** Topics: Podcasting]]> professional voice overs]]> professional voice actors]]> internet marketing]]> podcast marketing]]> using podcasts for marketing]]> making money onl]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> With a decade of experience in production and direction, Matt Josdal is an expert in all things audio.
