One thing might prevent you from adapting podcasting as your marketing and business strategy: lack of voice talent. Admittedly, some people just sound so awful in front of a microphone.

Voice123 tries to solve this problem with the release of a service that allows any podcasting producers to select from an online database of voice over actors. Voice123 claims that the majority of their voice over talents have their own recording studios, which assures a fast turnaround and high quality productions.

If you plan to start your own podcast, now is the time to focus only on the content instead of other technical problem on recording. Search feature enables you to search by voice genders, languages, voice ages, equipment, unions, keywords and location.

Listen to and download a demo by each voice over actor before deciding if he/she is appropriate for your podcast.

I am pleased to know that at last there is such an elegant solution to voice problem. Any drawback? I guess so. Because it is your business, perhaps you are the only people who know it very well. Voice over actors might sound more passionate but if you are going to conduct a live interview with an expert, now there is a problem you need to solve.

Plan ahead before podcasting!
