Hello @FaizanS Happy to help! Yes, you can hire a female or a male voice and as per new Trist and Safety guidelines from last week, you can now use Test-to-Speech and AI voices in your courses. Hope this helped! Kindest regards, Leonor Udemy moderation team

Hi Bessy and Scott, I have communicated with Scott and I was very thankful and happy about his feedback. Take care from Charlotte 🙂

This was great information and it will definitely help me! Hoping you will have a follow-up article to this one in 2024.

Thanks for the heads up! I have been actually approached by 4 "marketers" recently whereby 3 of those reached out via LinkedIn and one via Facebook. Couple of them mentioned of their freelance experience and work on Upwork platform. But really, given the way these guys were making their service offers, made me also see that they have no clue how to market and promote the course other than using my coupon. Each of them referred to nearly the same number of enrollments, which was another BAD SIGNAL to me. To be fair, though, none sounded threatening... Best, Dillyara.

Hello @LindsayMarsh Congratulations on this huge milestone and thank you for sharing your experience.

Thanks, I got in contact with them, but there's nothing they can do. I'll have to go the dropbox route 👍

Yohann Coussot · ‎11-03-2023

Hello, Same here could we have more clarification ? Is that only for Us students ? When will the black friday sale starts ? If you don't want to give the specific date, an approximative date would do please. Important for those rushing to publish their new courses. Thank you very much ! Yohann

Chris Haroun is the hero we have, but do not deserve. Thank you!!

DrOscarRodriguez · ‎10-09-2023

Chris, Is an amazing model to follow for success in the online teaching world. His genuine ways of sharing his expertise make him unique. Thank you Chris!

HofmeyrdeVo128 · ‎07-30-2023

This is very eloquently put Mr. @RobertBrown028 , and something that needs to be discussed. I've also quite recently had a similar experience, resulting from a mistake that was entirely my responsibility to mitigate, and that I take full responsibility of as an instructor, but I do feel that the whole debacle could have been handled differently perhaps. That being said, I wholeheartedly agree with you in the sense that we need to take these on the chin, move on, learn from it, and build our resilience as business owners.

SSAA · ‎07-12-2023

Students won't tolerate a text only video as the dominant video format of your course.....no matter how nice the background music is. This being said, occasionally tossing a video without voice and just text + video + music in the mix is not a bad idea. It creates variation.

HofmeyrdeVo128 · ‎07-02-2023

Why do you want to use Udemy for this? The largest self-publishing eBook platform is "just around the corner " so to speak, with all the tools you will need to self-publish. Udemy is perfectly aligned for video courses and that's what they do, and do very well. If you want to feed into this expertise it should be kind of easy to use your eBook as a script and create a video-course methinks

HofmeyrdeVo128 · ‎06-23-2023

Hi @Goabeach ! So if I have to be as honest as possible the course in its current iteration will not sell well for two reasons : 1) Its in a super crowded space with tons of competition 2) It's only 34 minutes long Luckily both of these issues can be overcome with (1) good marketing strategies and (2) building out your course to add more value. Course creation done well is a crazy amount of work, despite what the pundits that sell the idea that AI can do all the heavy lifting is telling everybody that cares to listen. They are flat-out wrong, but that does not mean you cannot make a living out of this. It's just going to take more effort than newbies want to believe is all 🙂

HofmeyrdeVo128 · ‎06-21-2023

The biggest issue with the AI noise cancelation services out there is that it remains a case of " garbage in, garbage out", which boils down to the unfortunate fact that you still need decent audio quality for good results. As for AI, I've tried Adobe's version, and it is horrible. It flattens out my voice and make me sound like a robot. When it comes to background noise , the best solution still is to remove as much of the noise you possibly can while recording. Hang curtains against sound reflective surfaces, use a pop filter on your mic...it doesn't have to break the bank.

JasonDunbar-Hall · ‎06-13-2023

As someone who's fairly new in this area, I know that if I had to have absolutely everything completely sorted out and under control, I'd probably never get it done. There's so many nuances to master, so I prefer the 'ready, fire, aim' approach, where you get started, and then steer

HofmeyrdeVo128 · ‎06-07-2023

I've had a look at your promo vid, and I can hear and understand you quite well, but there is quite a bit of echo in the audio. What does your recording setup look like? Keep in mind that it is very hard to remove echo or reverb post production without flattening your audio something terrible, so if you can minimize that while you record you will save yourself a ton of pain .

HofmeyrdeVo128 · ‎05-20-2023

Had a quick look and listen to your course, and it seems more than fine actually. Sound quality is great, and your introductory videos that do show your face is warm and welcoming. Good luck and weldone!

Coach.Hector · ‎05-07-2023

Muchas Gracias @Bella tu profesionalismo inspira a los demás. Te deseo mucho exito en tus nuevas aventuras. Nuevamente Gracias te vamos a extrañar.

RichardCallaby · ‎04-16-2023

No, you cannot link a book on your landing page or ask for an email. Both are not allowed on the landing page of your course. However, you can do both in the Bonus Section of your course. You can encourage your students to check out your bonus section but to be honest, I wouldn't mention what is in there explicitly in any email just to be safe. Hope this helps. Thank you,

Kerman · ‎03-28-2023

Hello, Thank you for your suggestion. I'm sure that the grounding is fine. The static usually appears at the very start of the video, and occasionally when the "pen" touches the Wacom "tablet" which is part of the system I use for creating the videos. Of course, the pen touches the tablet all the time, but the static only appears occasionally. Thanks, again..... :):) Kerman

Ahmed_Jendoubi · ‎03-21-2023

Hi Hofmeyer @HofmeyrdeVo128 Well formulated post, thank you! Best regards,

Michael_D_Nwaogu · ‎03-16-2023

@ChrystieV Thank you for letting us know you are with us. More grease to your 💪 . We are working on getting better at our craft too, to at least grow with Udemy a little, as you can see from most instructors' comments and contributions in the community. And so sorry for those who lose their jobs due to this step by Udemy, I hope you find an open door quickly. ☝To the North, we move on!😉 Thank you.

Malvik Vaghadia · ‎11-27-2022

Hi @Bella, I have submitted the interest form which states "We accept and review applications every six months and anticipate accepting the next cohort in late 2022". Is there a concrete date as yet when applications open? Thanks.
