Style/Learn Origins Podcast with Alexander Salas, David Goldberg and Kerri Acheson, Ph.D. on the History and Importance of Voiceover in E-Learning 12/21/2023

I sat down with Alexander Salas and David Goldberg, CEO of Edge Studio in New York, on December 21, 2023, for an in-depth discussion of the history of voiceover and why it is important in e-learning. Some of the subjects we covered were:

• The evolution of voiceover, from Reginald Fessenden's first broadcast, to Walt Disney voicing Mickey Mouse in 'Steamboat Willie,' to the explosion of media now used in today's e-learning arena.

• We touched on Mayer's theories of learning and how understanding and retention are enhanced with the use of both audio and video in training programs, as well as how it relates to the different styles of learning.

• The benefits of good quality voice acting in e-learning: learner engagement, easy to understand complex topics, audiences will watch to the end because of good audio, and more.
