Make Your Website Talk
© 2003 By

Have you noticed the latest online craze? No, it's not how
to make a million dollars overnight, although that idiotic
idea is still floating around... it's adding voice to your
website. "Ma Bell" meets the Internet, so to speak. If you
spend any amount of time online I'm sure you've seen a
number of sites employing this technology.
So who's behind this phenomenon and what's the benefit of
adding voice to your website? I'm so glad you asked. In the
cold, impersonal world of the Net, your voice adds a touch
of warmth and personalization that can increase credibility,
thus raising your conversion rate. Sound good? (No pun
intended.) Of course it does.

- If your site has been featured in an
online interview or radio show, imagine including this audio
in your site. Just think of it as your very own live press
room.
One thing to consider is the quality of your voice. If it's
not all that pleasant to listen to, you may want to employ
the help of a friend, or you could hire a "professional"
voice-over service. Do a search at Google and you'll find
plenty of options. One such service is
