Plug yourself while giving us an intro
February 14th, 2010 |It’s been mentioned a few times in various places on the site and on my twitter account that we’re doing a podcast shortly.
I had an idea that would give us rotating intro pieces to use for each episode and allow various people to plug their project. Whether you do another webcomic, a blog, a web series, a podcast, etc. you could plug your site/link while giving us an introduction to play over our theme song for the start of the episodes.
Here’s the basic format. Our intro theme is only thirty seconds so that’s effectively the upper limit on time you’d have to work with but, this is the information that needs to be gotten across.
Hi, this is “insert your name here” from “insert your project’s name” at “insert your preferred URL” and you’re listening to Zombie Roomie’s Commentary Track… and now to your hosts, John Wigger and Bill Mofield.
I’ve got an example you can hear if you’re interested. It’s just over ten seconds long and has all the basic information in it plus I plug Zombie Roomie and zombieroomie.com.
We’ll not only use your introduction so anyone listening to the episode will here your plug, but your information will be in the show notes including a hyper link back to your url.
Just e-mail the file and I’ll put it into rotation or if you’re not hip to recording your own intro, but, you are interested we can probably get it recorded for you as long as you have Skype setup and you contact me with a time that’s convenient for you to set up a call to record.
I will record something this weekend (hopefully tonight if I have time) and send it to ya!
That’s a great idea, mine’s on it’s way!
Cool beans.
Yeah, what I’d like to have happen is have intros from various sources so it’s not always comic folks, but occasionally it will be an intro from a zombie/horror blog or podcast, etc.
Zombie Roomie can pull from various audiences… So, it’d be, hopefully, a new set of ears hearing your intro that you might not have reached before.
Thats a great idea, but I might have to pass, hearing my voice has caused women to go weak in the knees and men to suddenly question themselves! o.O (okay, so I’m a lying-liar, who lies!! *grin*)
Sounds good, I shall try to make one soon.
I’d love to do one of these, however I unfortunately don’t have a microphone.
Definitely a great idea to have. I know we have a bunch of intros and outros for TGT that we are adding into the shows in Post format.
