Talk to your audience
June 4, 2008
I quite like the idea of letting viewers listen to what you’re saying. I know this post should have an option to do that, but I haven’t recorded it yet so I can’t add it.
But generally, it gives people more choice. Especially for a longish post it can be beneficial to listen to it rather than read it. You can get a lot more of the sense of what the author was trying to say, if he speaks to you. The written word can’t always convey that emotion accurately.
At least, not for the average person doing the writing. Some people are very skilled at it, but most of us are just ok at it.
I use Podpress for my own embedded audios. It’s so easy to use and as a free plugin anyone can try it out. We all like a sense of connection with other people. Speaking to your visitors helps to encourage that.
