Video articles

Do warriors prefer article videos with an audio background, or carefully selected music backgrounds sychronised with bullet points?

Just interested in why some folks use those awful computer generated voices when they annoy me so much - and I guess I am not alone! Give me music anyday - what about you?

    I'm with you on the computer generated voices. I immediately click off the video when they come on. I prefer a real voice over a music backgrond

    I don't like either one. I think they're both kind of cheesy. I prefer a video made with a little more effort. At least a power point presentation being explained by a real person.

    Or someone in front of the camera talking.

    Videos that are text or still photo based just seem lazy to me.

    But I know they work too, and I'll agree with you.. if I have to watch one.. gimme the music.

    I definitely prefer a human voice with no background music. I also agree that when I start a video that has a computer generated voice, I immediately stop the video.

    A real voice is always preferable to a computer generated one IMHO. Background music is sometimes appropriate, but you need to make sure it's not distracting. If you're turning an article into video, you must make sure the article's message comes across just as powerfully as it did using the written word.


    If you're doing a promotional video, sometimes music alone is fine.

    I would prefer voice. And I say it from a producer and a listener standpoint. Even though music is very important, listening to a human voice is way more catchy.
