I think it lends itself particularly well to small business owners but really anyone who is basically selling themselves, it's a must. I do have to say though that voice over artists a professional voicers are still very necessary - it really depends on what kind of message a business owner wants to put out. Or it may well be that the business owner simply doesn't have the time to record materials. And some people will never get used to themselves on tape... Sarah http://www.AudioPodArtist.com Hi Lisa

I'm discovering as I use techniques like hypnosis and practice to increase my confidence I'm becoming more and more fond of my voice. I've just got myself a decent headset mic, and I've actually got a great voice! When I was younger I was always scared of speaking, fearing I'd stumble my words or people would laugh at my voice. Not any more! (Well, OK, I'm just starting to feel my way into this new confident role - and forget talking to others face-to-face for the moment!) I absolutely agree it can be better to have introductions done by the business owner - it instils confidence rather than uncertainty in the mind of the visitor. But there's definitely still a big role for professionals to play, especially in product creation, like audio versions of ebooks. Thanks for the advice, Lisa.
