When you are working with high profile people, from C-Level company execs to influential celebrities, access is a difficulty. Especially after a recording when you need a slight edit to fix a mistake or clarification.  

That was the past! Today technology can take their voice and make it say anything you want. It can even take the recording of that executive or celebrity and translate it so they are saying the same words in a different language.  

Audio and podcast expert James Cridland shares his first-hand experience including:

• The best-automated transcription services
• How to edit audio using a word processor
• Adding in extra words synthesised by the word processor
• How to completely automate the voice of a CEO or celebrity
• How to audio translate someone’s speech so they are speaking in another language
• Stunning demonstrations of the above 

GUEST DETAILS

Our guest James Cridland is a man who has worked at the leading edge of radio and new media for many years.  In the UK he was one of the first to launch podcasts with Virgin Radio around 2006, before serving as the Head of Future Media & Technology with the BBC.  He is an internationally recognised thought leader in this space and speaks regularly at the largest conferences worldwide.  Today, he is acknowledged as a leader in the podcasting world, and as the founder of PodNews.net .. he pretty much knows everybody and is the first to hear what is going on … including the developments we’re talking about today.

Podcasts are amazing for selling your brand without sounding ‘salesy’. 

Why? It takes 25 to 30 times for a consumer to hear a message before they follow through.  The one-on-one time you get with a podcast allows you to create a deep connection with your audience and quickly. This engagement is something that is impossible with radio or television advertising.

How do you engage the audience without sounding like a turn-off advertorial? 

Delving into the art of this today is psychologist, best-selling international author, speaker and podcaster Owen Fitzpatrick. 

He teaches us about:
 
 - The importance of consistency when building a podcast 
 - How to keep yourself and your brand authentic and engaging with the listeners
 - The best ‘selling’ methods for your brand or product
 - How to get your varying points across without losing your audience
