I get newsletters from companies all the time! I often find them annoying and hate to see them, that is why I have several different email addresses. I even have one for junk mail. For this assignment I used my junk email address to research the types of newsletters that I get.  Some companies send news letters everyday, twice a week, twice a month and once a month. I would choose twice a month and once a month. The twice a month newsletters would go to potential clients who are thinking about using my services and once a month to clients who have actually used my services. I would chose that amount, so that my newsletters had quality and good information in them. I have seen newsletters that aren't really talking about anything and end up taking space in my inbox.  My newsletter would focus on any new projects that I am working on and maybe what type of sound clients have wanted for the month.  My newsletters could have the following topics.  Thanking new incoming c...

 If I had to pick a type of category I would chose personal and serious. I would pick both to appeal to two difference types of people. In voiceovers there are multiple fields  a voice actor can do. The fields I am interested in are narration, audio books , e-learning, commercial, and animation. All of those require different types of writing.  If started started a blog I would use categories relating to how companies could benefit from having a voice. I would also post my voice as well, so clients could hear the versatility and range. All the posts would be voice related around the categories that I listed above. I would also showcase clients if they allowed me so people could see the types of projects that I work on through my business. 

A personal touch style of writing can add a lot of fun to a blog. When people are looking for answers online they want things to sound personable and relatable. Consumers go online looking for answers, it is usually in a casual capacity and not in a research academic state of mind. When posts are personal people stop and listen and review. Consumers are saying in their heads, hey I get it I agree with them, this company/person is just like me.  It makes sense to add a personal touch to a blog when someone is telling a funny store or explaining a frustration that had a good outcome. It is not a good idea to add a funny touch that ha a bad outcome, if it does the outcome would need to have a sliver linings to it. When discussing serious topics it is best to stick with the facts. Serious topics include death, or death protocol. That is not the time to be funny.  Having a personal tone and serious tone in my business would work. Typically vo...

 I like to post on Instagram, but this week got away from me with medical issues. #tired #family #kids #noexcuses I posted three times on the same night, which won't do much help to my followers and owing a business. I have learned from this experience that social media takes a lot of work and time management. Luckily, if one dives into facebook and instagram they try to make it easy to post when needed. you can set up timied posts and target your audience at different times. I have learned that moving forward I would have to set up days in advance three posts a day. One in the morning, afternoon, and lat evenings. I would do these different times because I would be targeting different people. As some people are morning, night owls, etc. My posts would have been more effective if I spread them out over the past week. This would have been the most effective use of the scheulded posting feature. Posting directly from Facebook is one of the best options as for me it is easier to work ...

Instagram and Hashtag Usage  Voiceover artists usually have a manager or an agent. However, some (many) have their own businesses because that works better for them. In this case social media plays a big role in getting roles. Voice over artists also use site like Voices.com, voices123.com, they are called pay to play websites. Some artists dont go for these and others do, it's a peronal preference.  Lets get in to #hashtags @voiceoveremmy Emma Wheeler Voice Overs  Her Instagram seems effective, she has over 1500 follwers and over 2000 psts. She seems to post every few days. She posts things about her personal life and career in the voice over industry. I am unsure if this is benefital to her career, but she does have followers. She hasn't #hastaged anything about her work, but her personal pictures have #'s. Which can bring people to her page as they search using the #'s she is using. Her last post was one day ago on October 12. @nathannokesvo Nathan provides all types...

  Conti_Sean Shoeperlaced   Shoeperlaced Conti Sean uses their site to post images of their product (shoes). I am not a sneakerhead by any means, but I can appreciate a great shoe. They can finish and tailor an entire outfit. This Insta page shoes cases the shoes. Estelle_Drew Weed em & Reap Florals  Currently, Weed Em and Reap Florals has their image posted. I love their logo so much. Green is my favorite color and I love how they have the logo going across three different images. I have always been jealous of how people accomplish that look on the Insta page.  Ionian Account Management. Instagram Link went to Facebook. Marcos Herrera I couldn't get to their Insta page. Maybe the link was broken on the following link  CSITLinksFA21.html , but it just kept looping me back to Facebook instead of Instagram.   Truly Yours Designs Nancy Williams  I love that the flowers are showcased on this page. They are so beautiful and the colors are full...

  I picked three articles that have to do with why you should pick a voiceover artist.  The first article gives seven reasons why selecting the right voice-over is important. It discusses the importance of finding the right voice for your video. The link is here 7 Reasons .  A voice can make or break an entire project. I want my clients to make the right choice and not regret picking me. I want them to make the right choice for their needs.  The second article is about choosing the right voice actor. You may be thinking aren't the articles the same. Sort of, but no they are not the same. One is about the voice the other is about the actor. A client doesn't want to work with an actor that is not going to give them the result that they want. Finding the right voice and the right actor together is key. Here is the link to the article Voice Actors .  This article is another article about why finding the correct voice is important but written by someone else. I chose...
