Video with Voice-Over & Webinar Production

How to Voice-Over Video and WOW with webinars!

As experts in your field, you know content is king, You know what you are talking about better than anyone. So you don’t need us to create the PowerPoint slideshow or webinar style presentations for you, but how do you turn them in to an engaging video? Ppt videos with voice-over (VO) are a quick, easy and successful alternative if you really feel you have more of a 'look for radio' or don't want to go on camera - even though I truly believe everyone can learn to feel confident and charismatic on camera, as every actor starts with 'fake it till you make it' - but it's up to you!

First question with slideshow style video is - is your exciting enough to hold interest with just text or pictures, even if they are moving? Did you know that after 72 hours, people remember only 10% of textual info, 65% of audio, but a staggering 95% of audio visual information - so adding a voice to your slides really does have a bigger impact!

So, how much more engaging will your slideshow video be with a Voice-Over? Do you have budget for a VO artist each time, or will you invest a little to learn how to do them yourself? Do you need music? Can you get it copyright free? These are all questions I can help you answer while shoiwing you just how easy a Ppt video is to do with your slideshow, a microphone and you.

You may also use webinar as a tool, for training, client demos, to introduce your company - but are you recording what you are already doing to create a video that's an on-going marketing tool?
