Comments - Write it, then read it aloud
I have been adding voiceovers for all my posts for several months now. Once when I was traveling in rural Vietnam, I had no good place to sit and record my audio, so I recorded while going for a walk down a country road. The sounds of nature barking dogs, passing motorbikes and trucks, as well as the occasional hellos yelled to me by children--and my replies, attempting to use my limited Vietnamese vocabulary--only added to the authenticity of that week's travel-themed post, How in the World, Part 2. I got a great response!
The following week, I recorded a post on trying to understand The Rules of Southeast Asian traffic patterns (as well as life), and I recorded from a patio table alongside a busy street. Again, the hum of traffic and beep-beeps of friendly horns only added to the post.
I went without audio one week, and got several complaints!
