“This is about an enhancement. This is about a more immersive experience, not even an immersive audio experience, but an immersive experience because even if we tried and we just wanted to experience one sense, we can't."Jeanna IshamThis week’s episode is the second half of my interview with composer, podcaster, and sonic branding expert Jeanna Isham, where we talk about voice technology and Jeanna’s inspiration as a podcaster, as well as the unlikely sound lessons we can all learn from Disneyland.A Self-Led JourneyWe begin with a quick look at Joel Beckerman’s book Sonic Boom and the subtle but effective audio strategies that Disneyland employs to make each of its themed sections stand out. Jeanna goes on to talk about her podcasting career and how it began as an effort to learn more about the audio side of marketing, and then as a way of sharing what she’s learned with others. “Through all this, I found the lack of sound strategy," she explains, “and as a musician, I was like, why would you just throw this in? So I started this self-led journey into sound marketing and realized that there was a lot missing." The Beginning of SoundNext, we discuss her Sound in Market online course, which is linked below along with her website. “We go back to the beginning of sound,” Jeanna says, “and realize that we are sound, and we do make sound, regardless of what you think, so why don't we make it on purpose?”  She explains that sound makes a quicker sensory impression on the brain than sight and that user experience and voice AI design in particular can benefit from a more creative audio approach."I want to open up the possibilities in your brain. I want your brain to start spinning and thinking independently of what I'm saying." Needing to UntetherWe wrap up with a look at the future of audio and media technology, both its dangers and the potential it holds. “We have become so oversaturated with technology and visuals,” she says, “and just being on that people need to untether, and just take a break from it.” Jeanna and I discuss Mindshare’s Media Dystopia web series, and the effort to keep up with emerging technology as well as successfully engaging the human beings behind it. “It hurts my heart when something doesn't land, but it's because of execution.”Next week will be my 100th episode – be sure to check it out!Connect with the GuestWebsite: https://www.dreamrproductions.com/Follow Jeanna Isham on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DreamrProductions/Connect with Jeanna Isham on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeannaisham/Tweet with Jeanna Isham on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jeanna_IshamConnect with the Audio Branding PodcastBook your project with Voice Overs and Vocals : https://voiceoversandvocals.comTweet with me on Twitter : https://twitter.com/JodiKrangleWatch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn :
