| | TALKINGSITES WEB SITE AUDIOWritten by Dane Scott
People love pantomimes because they can communicate so cleverly without ever uttering a sound. I find them fascinating. But imagine what world would be like if all our entertainment, conversation, and advertising was done in pantomime. Aside from giving us a new appreciation for clown-white face paint, we'd probably tire of it rather quickly. The truth of matter is, Internet is still very much like great mimist Marcel Marceau.

It is an instant distinction between your web site and your competition's, which is unlikely to have any audio whatsoever. It teaches. Our aural receptors stimulate our brain to action in ways our eyes never will. That's why we're tempted to read aloud when faced with a difficult set of instructions. That same phenomenon occurs in all aural messages, making it easier for customers to comprehend value and buy, remote staff to learn over net, clients to understand technical
