Audition a Favorite for Voiceovers

Posted on May 14, 2007 by adobe | Comments (8)

A recent survey run on www.voiceoversavvy.com and sponsored by Voice123 showed that a majority of voiceover artists use Audition for their work. What’s most interesting to me is that they say that Audition was preferred by 27% of respondents, but down the list they also say that Cool Edit Pro was preferred by 14%. If we hadn’t changed the name we’d be at 41% of respondents, with the next highest at 16%! We’re constantly talking to customers about how Audition (and Cool Edit) turn up everywhere, but since it’s often hard to point to specific numbers seeing independent surveys like this is fun. As they say, Rock ‘n Roll!
