Your Grandfather, Parents Expressions And Utterered in Their Own Words, Voice.

If you take videos of your kids, you know that as Kodak says "time goes by".

The sound of your own voice may make you wince and you often hear folks shy away from doing full motion videos because of it. Or hiring announcer guy to do the voice over, audio dub. But the vocal, audio tract of a video is at least 40% of that video. Your son or daughter when five years old squealing with delight as the new bike gets wheeled around the yard with training wheels. Or skiing down a hill holding your hand as they learn to carve fresh Maine snow. And hearing that joy or the questions asked on the lift going back up in their own special little voice from an under 44 inches, can not go on all the Disney rides voice, their own words. That is something unique, special, and your voice is part of you. 

If you are seeking more transparency so the real estate market does not just see, sense you as a robot wearing the "R" than real full motion videos with audio, and podcasts so the public can hear your voice is a solid step in the right direction.

There is a punch, something real, live, YOU in producing your own property and area peddling productions.

Have your real estate buyers heard your voice as you show and tell the area videos you shoot, edit, upload? Does your seller out of state looking for a broker to represent them in the sale of the new property listing you are about to get feel a connection? Like you are literally talking to just them, not a canned media release that they can only read. Or maybe see a supporting image or two and that's it.

Beef up your real estate marketing of your area events, your property listings buy incorporating video, real full motion video in to your marketing operation. Maine, big state, friendlier people, gorgeous places to explore. Quick Maine real estate drive thru, or take the longer detail route for property listings.

Andy, I know I enjoy hearing your voice on your videos.  It personalizes the whole thing and gives it that little extra!

Andy, I know I have to do this. I have done video, more like slide shows because I don't feel comfortable with a video camera. I need to add my voice, which like you noted, makes me crazy when I hear it. But that is very silly of me because people hear my voice every day.

So, this is something I will certainly do this year, as I have decided to reach outside my comfort zone. Thank you for the push!

Video adds color, depth to any experience. Photos alone are powerful but missing tickling the ears and real full motion video is 30 "photos" per second. Lot of "picture tells a thousand words".louvre entrance paris france

Andy, Great shot of the Louvre entrance.  Unfortunately I wasted a trip there when I was 19.  Went in, saw how small the Mona Lisa was, then went back outside and people watched until it was time for the bus to leave for the next stop on the tour! Oh well...do want to get back some day.  Bill

Our productions are not Hollywood 40 million dollar slick and fancy but they work and when you see hundreds of thousands views, when a property video or local area video has 14,000 views, you know it is something someone wants. You buyers and sellers hear your voice, see your properties inside and out, are transported to your local area with you the tour guide. It puts your brand on the map.
