New Media and Voice Over
April 23rd, 2008 Posted in General InfoI just got back from Podcamp D.C. Podcamp is a usually free un-conference focused on everything New Media; From New Media Marketing, Podcasting, Blogging to YouTube-ing and powering your personal network with Linkedin and other Social Media sites.
So what does this have to do with voice over? With the rapid expansion of audio podcasting….everything. Voice actors can bring a lot to the New Media table, like knowing your way around a studio and microphone. That puts you ahead of all the podcasting novices.
Gretchen, from MommyCast gave a talk on how she and her MommyCast co-host Paige built their very successful audio podcast show in just three short years. Each week the moms chat from their Northern Virginia recording studio about the trials and tribulations of motherhood. Turns out lots of listeners have their own mom issues and tune in to the tune of millions. Once that happened, of course the sponsors came knocking.
So, voice talent, you might want to expand your skills and think about creating your own podcast show. If you don’t know how, check out the upcoming Podcamps!
