One former employer has resolved this building a flash version of their interface just for demos- it looks just like the real thing but it is vector graphics so it can be changed without losing resolution. Time-consuming but they can also easily change branding for private-labeling the demo- good for business development. <br />- If you record your own voiceover leave spaces between all sentences and make sure you leave a moment of silence after each one. This makes it a lot easier to edit the V/O. Don&#039;t talk fast, talk a little dumb. Any audio editing software can slow or speed up your delivery. <br />- That being said, take your version, go to a V/O talent and get them to read it. You&#039;ll pay for an hour or two of their time and studio time. They&#039;ll send you a disc with files already clipped into pieces. Good talent makes a huge difference in both time saved and quality. They don&#039;t have to be local- there are services online that will take your script and turn it around fast. <br />- Keep it concise. Break up demos by &#039;problem-solved&#039;. Don&#039;t solve multiple problems in one long demo. It&#039;s a demo, not a training flick. <br />- Put them on Youtube with your URL. There is no reason not to and YouTube is a de facto format for sharing video- everyone can use it. <br /> <br /> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 12:32:43 +0000 http://ricksegal.typepad.com/pmv/2008/04/evernote-and-so.html#IDComment345481 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2008/01/burning-out.html#IDComment72116 One thing I found really useful is a book called The Art of Power by Thich Nhat Hanh, which is a semi-business related book about mindfulness. Listening to yourself is sometimes a hard thing to do. He offers a simple means of reconnecting.
