Sonic Sunday — 07/03/2022



Below are a few thoughts and items on matters sonic -- voice, sound and audio -- that we hope you will find interesting.

Witlingo 4.0 is now generally available: The Witlingo Audio platform continues to evolve thanks to the great feedback that we regularly receive from our customers.  For a summary of the main highlights on the upgrade, please go  here.

1. Quote of the week: "Tapping into emotions has been used for centuries to encourage action, and that custom hasn't changed in the digital age. In 2022, we will see a shift from simply using words to talk about a product or service but placing a greater emphasis on how it makes your customers feel."  For more, please go here.

2. Worth reading:

3. Worth listening to: The strategy behind sonic logos, like Netflix’s startup chime (Marketplace, with Kai Ryssdal and Maria Hollenhorst).

4. Worth watching: The latest episode of Lingofest. This past week, we premiered Part Two of our interview with Benjamin McCulloch, Freelance Conversation Designer and Audio Specialist.

5. Post an audio: Since summer -- the season of sun and fun -- is here, we want to try something new. We want to collect as many voices as possible, each with its own quirky character and accent, saying the following sentence: "If we don't pay attention and make the most of it, Summer will be over and you will be left holding the sunscreen bag!  That's all I have to day!" Say it any way you want and have fun with it. Please go here share your post.  The Summer Audio Wall will showcase the audios posted.
