What Makes a Good Script for Audio?
In my last post I announced Cynthia Abel as the winner of the Thirty Day Challenge Podcast Intro competition. But what made me pick her script over the others?
First of all, here’s her script as she provided it:
The intro is a bit like a circus ringmaster introducing an act.
With an underlying consequence to demonstrate the [...]
And the Winner is…
A few people have been asking me who the winner was of the Thirty Day Challenge Podcast Intro competition. I haven’t heard Ed mention it yet, but I’m going to steal his thunder if he hasn’t as I want to share some of the reasons and techniques I used to make it.
Thank you to everyone [...]
My Audio Production Studio
All the probloggers say not to apologize if you haven’t blogged for a little while, so I’m not going to say sorry. Instead I’ll just tell you what else I have been doing recently. First of all I have been writing pretty much all the content for the new Fresh Air Studios website. Fresh Air [...]
Feeling Creative? Thirty Day Challenge Podcast Intro Competition
For the past 2 years I have created an intro for Ed Dale’s Thirty Day Challenge podcasts (actually the first one I created was for his Smackdown comp with Frank Kern in UltraUnderachievers, but it was used later for the 30DC).
This year I thought we should do it differently. This is partly because the pressure [...]
Craft and Travel PLR Discount
I blogged previously about the ways you can use PLR creatively to promote your websites, gather leads and create products. In my Creative PLR post I mentioned how much I love the All Private Label content provided by Alice Seba and Mila Sidman. Well, they have just emailed me with a special offer for 2 [...]
Creative PLR Part 2: Beyond the Norm
So, where was I?
Ah, yes, going beyond standard uses for PLR.
I sat down earlier and created a list of different ways you could use PLR material (articles, reports and/or ebooks) that fits into my category of the Creative PLR User.
First, it might be worth explaining why you would want to be creative (in case it [...]
Creative PLR Part 1
If you haven’t come across PLR (or Private Label Rights) content before, then this is simply articles and other material (ebooks, reports etc.) that are created and sold to multiples of people so they can use them as their own. This usually means purchasers can modify them, use them on their own websites and in their [...]
Hostile Interviewing (and Lessons from Sarah Lacy)
In my Twitter Poll about interview fears several people clicked “other”. For some reason the reasons given are not registered but Peter was kind enough to add a comment to explain his reason for clicking this option.
He wrote: ‘I said; “The interviewer being hostile” Doesn’t even have to be aggressive (or satirical like Terry Wogan [...]
Dull Dull Dull!
The last post about interviewing technique (re: drying up) reminded me that there is another important point to be made if you are conducting an interview.
What are the dullest interviews to listen to? What really turns you off from an interview?
The worst interviews, in my opinion, are those where the interviewee just keeps answering yes [...]
Voiceover Services for Entrepreneurs
Hi folks,
Sorry I haven’t posted much this week. I came down with a sore throat and cold and have felt too lousy to do much of anything until today.
Coming up in the next few weeks I am planning to finish the series of blog posts about interviewing techniques - both as interviewer and interviewee. Let [...]
