Tara Tyler of VoiceBunny has hacked Fred Wilson's Blog AVC. One of the best Venture Captial attention-getting hacks ever!
Today we have another great startup story from the startup trenches from our guest Tara Tyler of VoiceBunny.
She shares with us how they were able to use their product to catch NYC venture capitalist Fred Wilson off guard with a unique hack on his popular creative commons blog.
VoiceBunny enables anyone to get professional voice actors for their project easily. They have a huge pool of diverse talent around 100,000 individuals from around the world, and regularly work with about 5,000 of those.
What caught Amul and Jeff's eye was the three big words - Application Programming Interface. As Amul calls it, the plumming of the internet. We're reminded of tools like Zapier that connect web API's like these.
A company utilizing the API to enhance their Hosted PBX is phoneunite. Even Pandora uses VoiceBunny to find a wide array of voice actors to read on air advertisements that fit each market.
Since their experiment turning AVC into a podcast at AVC.fm was a clear success, they're planning a service to autopodcast your blog as a podcast to iTunes and Stitcher.
VoiceBunny is more of a production house than a marketplace. They listen to everything produced through VoiceBunny and guarantee high quality voice actors.
We cheered when Tara told us that VoiceBunny is bootstrapped and their founder Alex even turned down money! With clients like Pixar's Buzz Lightyear, I can see why.
Startups are using VoiceBunny to get their product commercial professionally voiced over. Oppossed to something like fiverr, you get expectations for quality and deliverability.
There are so many great ways this service can be used by smart startups listening. We're starting to think more about the way we consume talk radio and voice throughout our day. It's motivating to see this tool and how others are using it to connect the dots for a better experience.
Jeff asks about the voice talent using this as a way to make extra money online, and we find that there's more than a few voices making extra cash on their own time with VoiceBunny. Talents are rewarded based on their stats for previous jobs completed, in a timely and accurate manner.
We hope they host a VoiceBunny hackathon to get the creative juices flowing and more developers and founders using their API.
Tara gives us advice that a good product is the key to successful marketing. Sharing a useful product is much easier than something that doesn't solve a real problem. Plus nurturing early customers of your product is a must. Know your audience! Eat your dog food!
Our audience should thank Tara for giving you $25 off when you use VoiceBunny for your next voice project, using the coupon code HOTCOFFEE. Give it a shot and support this awesome startup!
