Sampler: Tracy Pattin and Voicebank.net’s VoiceRegistry Blog

One of the great uses of New Media is education. Not just standard, school and college-based education, but genuine, person-to-person, master-to-apprentice-style learning. In this vein, I present NMI Member, Tracy Pattin and one of her excellent shows, Voice Registry Blog and Podcast. In this show, Tracy focuses on the realities of voiceover work by interviewing some of the biggest names in the industry.

In this show, Tracy interviews Bob Bergen and Bill Holmes on physicalizing while performing voiceover.

Check out this sample show and then subscribe to the blog directly or using iTunes.

Elsewhere Online: Tread carefully when editing WordPress themes (and how to recover when things go awry)

From Careers in New Media…

Tread carefully when editing WordPress themes (and how to recover when things go awry)

by Douglas E. Welch

wp-appearanceI received a WordPress emergency email from a friend/client last night and I wanted to share both the problem, and the solution, with you. Now, I am far from a WordPress expert, but having faced some issues myself, her problem was one that I could solve.

Screencast: Forwarding GoDaddy Domain to WordPress.com Blog

I had a question from a member of New Media Interchange the other day about how to forward a custom domain to point at a blog set up at WordPress.com. Here is a screencast video showing the process. While this is specifically for GoDaddy users, the principle will be the same for most other domain and web hosting companies.

Fabulous Find Fridays!

New Media Interchange is launching a new weekly online event — Fabulous Find Fridays!

Your goal is to find, and then share, your favorite bits of New Media from around the world. These can be small, individually produced YouTube videos or grand traditional productions that have found their way online. These can be audio, video, photos and blogs or anything else amazing you stumbled upon in your Internet travels.

The goal is to share the best New Media we find and give each other something to inspire us to strive to produce the most amazing work possible.

Each week I will create a Fabulous Finds Friday topic in the discussion section on the New Media Interchange Community site.

For videos, you should be able to embed them in your discussion group message. For audio and others, write a short summary and then link to the original item.

What neat New Media have you found this week? Share it this Friday on Fabulous Finds Friday!

Cokin MAGNE-FIX lens adapters for small cameras

At PodCampAZ this weekend I ran into an old friend who had one of these magnetic adapter lens for his Flip Video camera. In his case, it was a wide angle attachment that allowed him to shoot himself more easily for video blogs. The built-in lens on the Flip Video makes you extend you arm almost all the way to get your entire head and shoulders in the frame, but this adapter expands the view of the camera and makes it much easier.

They also have telephoto and filter attachments that work with a variety of point-and-shoot camera. These adapters attach to your camera using a magnetic ring that is stuck to your camera body which that connects to the adapter. This allows you to easily attach/detach the adapter depending on the shooting situation.

NMI Blog now has mobile theme

WordPress.com has turned on a mobile web theme for all blogs hosted on their site. Those browsing on an iPhone or other mobile web device will now see the blog in the format below. It is much easier to use the site than before. I know I will appreciate the new theme on my iPhone 3G.

New mobile theme for WordPress.con blogs

The New Media Interchange Community Site (and all Ning.com based sites) have had a mobile theme for a while. Here is an example of how it appears on the iPhone.

Elsewhere: Sharing your Google Reader Shared Items via Twitter

NMI Founder, Douglas E. Welch, recently posted this item about sharing  your Google Shared Items via Twitter and more.

Ah, this is one of my trade secrets! Bwaahahha. Actually it is one of my experiments with linking things together online. It’s not all posts, by the way, just items I share from Google Reader.

First, I use Google Reader to monitor several hundred feeds. Clicking “Share” in Google Reader automatically creates a web page of my shared items (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/douglas.welch) It also creates an RSS feed of those same items.

PodCampAZ is rapidly approaching and Douglas is speaking again this year!

podcampazOnWhite286x100For the 3rd year in a row, I will be speaking at PodCampAZ, (November 14 & 15, 2009) which I consider to be the premiere New Media event for the Southwest. Even better, it’s FREE!

I will presenting on 2 topics this year:

My Podcasting Workflow – Audio and Video – A Real World Example

Need some help getting your podcast started. Join veteran podcaster Douglas E. Welch as he takes you through his audio and video podcast process, including discussion on recording, editing, hosting, RSS and more. This is a “Real World Example” showing you the process Douglas has developed over years of podcasting and offering you lessons learned in the trenches.

Stay in control of your RSS feed

In order to maintain complete control over your podcast you need to guard access to your RSS feeds religiously. While services such as Feedburner and others can greatly enhance your podcasting RSS feeds, you need to take some basic steps to maintain control in case your RSS service disappears or tries to control your RSS feed. Learn how web site re-directs, WordPress press plugins and more can help you maintain control over your RSS feeds and keep your podcast in your hands.

As you can see, I am concentrating on some of the nuts and bolts aspects of getting your podcast going. After doing this for 5 years, I understand how fun, important, enlightening, podcasting can be and I want to share that power with everyone.

About PodCampAZ…

It’s that time of year again – PodCamp AZ is coming to the University of Advancing Technology November 14th and 15th! PodCampAZ is a FREE networking media unconference, dedicated to blogging, video blogging, podcasting, social networking, and all other relevant media. At the heart of the unconference is the opportunity to have a conversation at large with those innovators which have created a successful blend of relevant media and put it to work for them. Speakers will address emerging trends and best practices on everything from print and radio to mobile, interactive web, and in real life information exchange. During PodCamp sessions, attendees are free to drop in, listen and learn about what is relevant to their needs, and if they choose to, move on to other sessions. You can also become an interactive part of the experience by sharing your knowledge as a speaker or stimulating ideas and asking questions as an active attendee.

If you are an established or aspiring blogger, podcaster, video blogger, or social media advocote and want to meet hundreds of people with the same interests, head over to podcampaz.org to get more information about this exciting event. And above all else, register to attend PodCamp AZ!
