I Hate My Voice!

Filed under: Podcast Parlor — admin @ 3:03 pm

At least once a week one of my trainees tells me “I hate my voice.” This is usually followed by a solemn declaration that somehow all recording voices distort his or her voice in an unflattering matter.

What’s going on here?

Perhaps you have noticed when you hear your own voice on a voicemail or on a home video recording that it doesn’t sound like you at all. Actually, it does sound like you, just not the you that you are used to listening to.

All of us hear our own voice in a distorted manner, only it’s not because we have big or small egos. We hear a distorted voice because we are hearing the sound distorted from the bones in our head. We hear our voices on the inside and the outside. The structure of our skulls messes with our own sound and muffles it in a way that it doesn’t do for someone simply hearing us through their ears from across the room (that’s not exactly using scientific lingo, but that is the science behind the theory)

Often during my trainings when I play back a video recording of one of my students, he or she reacts with “that’s not how I really sound.” But he or she notices that when their colleagues are videotaped, the sound they hear when the recording is played back is exactly the same as when the colleague was giving the speech live. The student realizes that there is noting wrong with the recording device.

When people tell me they hate their voice, they aren’t lying. But the real problem for most people is that they are just unfamiliar with their voice and that when they hear their voices for the first time the way other people do, the difference in perception is so great that it is shocking.

It is this disconnect that they don’t like, not the actual quality of their voices that they abhor.

Very few people have voices so mellifluous that they can make a million dollars a year doing voiceovers for TV commercials. The good news is that you don’t have to have a voice like that to be an excellent communicator.

Barbara Walters has a speech impediment, but she makes more than $18 million a year, in part, with her voice. Rudy Giuliani has a lisp, yet he is paid more than $100,000 for an hour’s worth of work to give a speech. John McCain has a sibilant “s” problem, yet he is a political and media darling.

If you think your voice is holding you back, chances are you are just obsessing over a nonexistent or minor problem.

GET OVER IT!

Your voice isn’t that bad. If you speak with passion and excitement and you have an interesting message, chances are your voice won’t prevent you from being a powerful communicator.

Home Business Exposure On Yahoo!

Filed under: Podcast Parlor — admin @ 5:29 pm

Everyone who has ever been on the internet has heard of Yahoo! If you haven’t, then quit reading and go visit now. Yahoo is such a popular site that my website ranking toolbar from Alexa shows a number “1” under website ranking…that’s popular. So it would probably be a good idea to get some exposure on Yahoo! for your home business.

Here is a great way to get in at the beginning of a trend. If you’ve never heard of a podcast, then you should definitely get up to speed on what they are. In brief, they are archived audio files usually in mp3 format that you can download into your player such as an iPod. Hosting those files is called podcasting. People can listen to you whenever it is convenient for them.

Podcasting is in its infancy as of late 2005. Yes, there are a lot of podcasts, but users are very few compared to the total number of internet and iPod users. So how does Yahoo! fit in? Well, one of the things about podcasts is that they have usually been hard to find or search for. None of the major search engines had done much with them as of this writing.

Enter Yahoo! You can now go to http://podcasts.yahoo.com and search for whatever you want. Many of the podcasts are vocal in nature such as instruction or the old teaching tapes. Here is your opportunity – home business is a very frequently searched topic on any search engine, so it is only a matter of time until it is frequently searched on the Yahoo! podcast site as well. You can get traffic to your site by making your own podcasts and submitting them to a site that Yahoo! searches such as iPodder.

There probably won’t be an incredible amount of competition for your home business for some time. Meanwhile, you have the opportunity to be a step ahead and be seen as an expert. You will be an expert by the time everyone else figures out that they should get into podcasting too. There is a great article on how to get started in podcasting at the website http://www.MCPromotionsPress.com

This time in podcasting is like the times in the mid 90’s when you could easily get great search engine ranking with just a little effort. Your home business can get some great exposure - Don’t miss the ride!

How Podcasting Can Improve Your Business

Filed under: Podcast Parlor — admin @ 9:53 pm

The term podcasting has been floating about on the radio and in discussions with
friends, but you’re still not sure what it’s all about and if it’s relevant to your
business.

I’ll start by explaining in simplest terms what a podcast is.

A podcast is the combination of an audio or video file and a RSS publishing file,
placed on an Internet server and available for downloading.

Let’s say you plug a microphone into your computer and record a 15 minute blurb
about an area of knowledge you have. Now you have a sound file on your computer
waiting for a home, and you want that home to be on the Internet for millions of
people to listen to.

You will first need to find a “host” company to take your file and put it on their
“server” to make the file available to the world. This is called a “podcasting” server.

Once you have contacted a server and have placed your file on their server, you will
want people to find your file. To do this you have to create a special document that
“publishes” your file to the world.

This document is called an “RSS” file - which stands for Really Simple Syndication. In
this document you will put vital information like subject matter, keywords, website,
contact info and other information about the podcast and your business.

When this RSS file has been created, it is placed in the same folder as the audio file
on the podcasting server. When you have posted an audio file and published it using
your RSS file, you have successfully created a “podcast”.

Now you want people to be able to find your podcast

There are many online directories for podcasts that have searchable databases.
These services are generally free. On these sites people with new podcasts fill out a
form telling the world about the subject of the podcast, which is posted to the
directory.

Once your podcast information has been posted, anyone visiting that directory
searching for podcasts containing the subject matter of your podcast, will
immediately find a link to your podcast.

Of course the more directories you list with, the more people you’ll expose your
podcast to.

Another great thing about these directories is that Google and other search engines
visit these sites to find content, so there is an even greater chance of people finding
your podcast.

Once your podcast has been posted to a number of podcasting directories, it is now
available to millions of potential listeners worldwide.

How does one listen to a podcast, you might ask?

It is very simple. Once they have clicked the link on the directory or your website,
the podcast will automatically download and play in whatever audio player is
appropriate for the podcast file.

Then VOILA, they are listening to your podcast.

The beautiful thing about an RSS file is that once it is registered with a directory,
you don’t need to go back to the directory if you decide to add new podcast
episodes. All you need to do is update your RSS file to show that there more
episodes associated with the podcast. Listeners will be made aware of this if they
locate your podcast after a new episode has been added.

Millions of listeners and Google users are searching for information in podcast form
to listen to at their leisure. This is the most beautiful part of podcasts. The listener,
once they have downloaded a podcast, can listen to it many times over, at their
convenience.

How can podcasting help your business?

Simple, a key part of your RSS document is your website URL and company
information.

When someone listens to your podcast, this information is made clear to them
inside your podcasting information. Consequently this can generate a serious boost
in Internet traffic to your website which can result in more sales.

You don’t need to be a radio professional!

If you speak with customers on a daily basis about your specialized knowledge, you
are perfectly positioned to record and release a podcast.

Where to start?

First, get a decent microphone for your computer - USB microphones are best - and
practice recording to get comfortable recording yourself and delivering your
message. The process is the same for video, but a video file will be created instead
of an audio file.

When you have a recording you’re happy with, save it as a file in its own folder, and
contact a podcasting service provider. You can find one on the Internet.

Once you have located a podcasting service provider they will help you with the rest
of your podcast, right down to creating an RSS file and properly posting it on a
podcasting directory.

It is important to find a host that provides ‘unmetered’ hosting. If your hosting is
metered, the more often your podcast is downloaded, the more your service
provider will charge. An unmetered host charges a set rate regardless of the number
of downloads.

Podcasting is a wonderfully affordable way to be heard and found. It is portable and
easy to access. Once you get the hang of it, podcasting can be an easy way to reach
potential clients.

Podcasting truly is a great gift for small business.
