VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Zak Miller · Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 12:06 pm Post subject: Website tweak. Whatcha think?

So as the northeast was hit with a ton and a half of snow over the past few weeks, my web guy was stuck at home and decided to make some tweaks to my "About" page on my site.
I will reserve comment, and put it out there for you guys to give me your honest opinions on the 'about page' and the rest of the site for that matter.

On a side note, I get a ton of activity on my site, and I don't really even promote it!

Have at it, and remember, being in this business for coming up on 20 years I have a thick skin, so please be honest!

Thanks, looking forward to reading your comments! Z

Looks good, and everything seems to works.

One thing you should think about developing is an HTML5 site (page) for iPads Pods and Phones, along with other portable devices that can not and will not open Flash. Just a thought.

Acoustics are counter-intuitive. If one thing is certain about acoustics, it is that if anything seems obvious it is probably wrong.

Thanks Mike, great advice, it would seem that these days portable compatible sites are a must.

Hey, Zak,

A couple suggestions: For your list of gear, add colons (and consistent spacing) after the type of gear to help separate the type from the items, and to make the list more readable. Bullets might be in order between types.

Also, for Recording Capabilities and Pre/Post Services, lose the bullets and make those into conversational sentences. They read like stuff copied straight from V123 right now. Plus, you've set the stage by being conversational in the first two, and last, categories.

Bob

Zak:

First, your demos are very good. The most important thing.

Edit your description paragraphs down to one or two lines.

Try to use the word "you" more, and "I" less. Here's what you'll get.

z--i listened to your sampler demo and think the range is terrif. and your pic at voice actor-isms on fb is really, too much! Smile

but this is no critique of your site. i realize that.

Wow thanks for all the comments! I have asked the web dude to make some of the changes noted. However, I may have to wait until the next snow storm for him to have cabin fever enough to tweak again.

Diane, that is funny. That pic is like 20 something years old. Ahh the radio days when you could look like a stoner and still make money!
