Voice Overs on Websites Are Becoming The Norm
July 22, 2008
Voices on The Web
One of the fastest growing applications for audio on the web is voice over.
Voice overs when used on the Internet can:
Sound On or Off?
There are two ways that you can present the voice over on your website.
1. When a visitor lands on your site the voice over can start playing immediately.
2. The visitor can choose to initiate the voice over by clicking a start button or turning the audio on.
Know This
Whatever it is you choose to do, having a voice over on your website is becoming a standard practice and people are more comfortable today listening to a voice over on the Internet than ever before.
Used well, the voice over independently starts new customer relationships at your website and can also personify your brand.
Another side benefit is that having a voice over on your website will give you a leg up on your competition who may not be using audio on their site.

Internet, The Final Frontier
Welcome to the world wide web, at least my little corner of it. You might be surprised that for a blog that is related to voice over, no one is speaking to you here on this page… no Site Pal, no intro message from a bigwig corporate type or buttons that giggle when scrolled over.
For our purposes, that works out just fine though because it’s not my voice that you want to hear (in the literal, audio sense), but those of qualified professionals who make the magic happen and have the privilege of doing so for a living.
These Are the Voyages of the Star Ship Voice Over
Every time you turn around, there’s a new use for voice over on the Internet and thousands of companies using voice over for the first time to express their message via their websites.
Do you watch any programming online? You might be familiar with how commercial voice over has crept its way into free content via corporate ads during episodes of LOST, Desperate Housewives or House.
Yes, advertising is the price one pays to access free content, especially online. There’s no TiVoing these ads directed to a target audience, I tell you.
One that fascinated me in particular is the ad for tourism in Hawaii. I just love the way they say Ha-wai-i, but I digress…
Live Long and Prosper
Over time, we’ll delve into more areas within the topic of voice over for Internet and I hope you’ll join me :) You can subscribe to this blog right now if you want.
Until next time,
