What Do You Think?
About voice-overs here on Emeth?
Yesterday’s essay here on Emeth contained a recording of me reading the essay, in addition to the text. I’ve done that a handful of times here on Emeth over the years.
But I’m thinking about moving towards that with all of my essays in the future. Before I do, I’d like to know if you find value in it. So, a poll.
I hope that you’ll feel free to tell me more of your thoughts about audio here on Emeth in the comments below.
Thank You!
MW: There's something called Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) which stipulates different people learn and absorb information in different ways. Some, like myself, learn best with the printed word. Others, especially people who have long commutes, like to listen to audio material in their vehicles or while doing chores at home. Still others learn visually, which is why media such as YouTube is popular. The more distribution outlets you have, the more reach you will have. Just my two cents.
I like to contemplate and consider the words. This is harder to do when they are ephemeral and I have to attend to the constant flow. You have a fine speaking voice, but I would forget the details instantly and essays would have less staying power in an audio format.
I do a lot of podcasts and audiobooks while out walking and they are great, but they are primarily entertainment. Just my 2 cents.
