By Virginia Culp

Most folks are at a loss when it comes to adding "production value" to an audio track, recorded interview or voice over. Of course, nobody's born with skill or ability to make wonderful audio content. The problem has been that most courses in this area has been geared toward professionals, who intend making a living in the production end of radio, the recording industry, sound tracks for movies and television, etc. Finally, there is a remedy for the masses, thanks to the explosion of the next wave of the Internet.

Audio content has become a hot commodity online, with the proliferation of high-speed connections and MP3 file sharing. You can get music, spoken word and even specialized sound effects delivered to your home computer in an instant. Going way beyond the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) files of the last century, well-produced audio for Web sites is becoming wildly popular. Even marketing testimonials are being created as audible files as a matter of course.

For the novice, with no experience in making spoken word and music a part of their online presence, finding reliable, easy to use instruction was a real challenge. Fortunately, audio pro's, with some Internet savvy, have come up with a solution. Beginner courses in audio production are making a big splash online. These simplified methods of teaching the basics help in two ways: they show you what to do and what to avoid.
