  • Hi. Congrats on completing your course. I can think of two options that could help you:
    1. Hire a native or good English speaking person to narrate the video for you.
    2. Partner with someone and offer to share the profits. I assume you created the course content in your native language so if you can hire someone that speaks your language and also speaks English, this could be a good option for you.
    All the best!

    • Thank you for the reply Deji. Do you know any network or online service where I can purchase something like this?
  • Speak with an accent. Be proud of it. If the information is valuable no one will care.

    • I totally agree with travlinguy. But the target market is US and I want my students to feel comfortable through out the course. Definitely I am not ashamed of anything (NO WAY) but from the student's perspective, I think I should make some voice-overs.

    • While in principle I stand by what you've said, it may not be the best business choice. One of the most important aspects of video and audio courses is your audience's ability to concentrate on the message. If they are having trouble making out words and saying, "What did he say?" in their mind every 30 seconds, you can lose them. Don't sacrifice your sales funnel because you want to send a cultural message. You business strategy is not the appropriate place to do that.

      Many people who are just starting can't afford professional voice-over services, which can range from $20-50 per minute! If you don't have the start-up money, you might have to offer equity.
  • I have to agree with travilinguy on this one.

    Many of the courses on Udemy are from non-native English speakers - and they can do very well.

    Plus, practice makes perfect - get out there, test yourself, push yourself, grow.

    • Thank you NatesMarketing, for your kind words.

      I am loving this forum. Just Great!
  • Depending on the topic I would agree. If your course is video driven with all of the basic elements on the screen that the user can see and/or read while you walk them through it, they can usually figure it out. If, however, it isn't all on the screen and there are words/terms they can't understand if not pronounced clearly it can be an issue.

    One of the big things about doing it yourself is that you engage with your buyers and they get to know you. You become part of the brand.

  • Some food for thought:

    One of the best-selling courses on Udemy is about creating high-quality do-it-yourself videos...

    ...and the guy has a very thick spanish accent.

    In his case, I think it adds to the charm.

    Why?

    The guy KNOWS HIS STUFF.

    His mastery of his topic is undeniable.

    • Yeah. You are right. I think I will publish it with my voice and wait for 1/2 weeks to see the results. If not, I will update it with US accent.
