Since I entered the Podcasting industry over a year ago I have begun to meet many great artists and talented people. I am continually surprised by the number of voice over talent professionals that are finding more and more work in the realm of web advertising and podcasting publications.

Don Capone is probably a good example of these types of professionals breaking new grounds. He has successfully worked for years in television, radio and more. Adding internet advertising and podcast voice over work to this mix is a natural extension.

It has become a given that people gather a great deal of information from the internet. The prevalence of YouTube has increased the average web searchers expectations for web sites. If they see a teenager that is capable of putting together a moderately professional looking sound or video presentation, their expectations for companies to put on a professional production utilizing professional voice over talent naturally increases significantly.

To put it differently, the lack of professional talent used for audio content on websites can be a severed show stopper for a potential reader or customer and can potentially push them immediately away from your company website or blog.

I covered ViaTalk the other day and completely missed a pretty cool service they have called BrainCasting.

BrainCast is in beta and basically its an online voice messaging service.  However, its got the potential to do a lot more than just that.

How it Works

You sign up for a quick and free account, providing a phone number that is allowed to call in messages, and an email account that will be notified whenever a message is recieved.

You then recieve a toll free (866) number that you can plug into your cell phone and save as a contact.  You call the number and a voice mail beep clicks off right away and you record a voice message.

The message is then saved online with BrainCast at ViaTalk and you can access it through the internet to listen to it with a program like MediaPlayer.

You can also forward messages from the online storage to any email address.

I find this pretty cool.  I think I can even incorporate this into my upcoming Podcast shows.  I can record a thought while I’m out and about, and then convert the wav file later and edit into my show.  The sound quality is excellent.

If you are keeping track of a project in MindManager you can even link to the files with the voice notes, and essentially maintain a voice message with your mapped out project.
