Improving production values

Now that I will be offering content for a paid membership program, I have been thinking about ways to improve the production value of my offerings. Specifically, I was thinking of adding some pizazz to my voiceovers. 

I've added a few musical flourishes here and there, but by and large, my voiceovers are just yours, truly narrating my newsletters with my own style of bravado and extra content that wasn't part of the written form. One easy way to improve the listening experience is to add a musical introduction.

I've had the concept for a while, but since I'm not a musician, I've had to figure out where to source the tracks I'm looking for. The concept is a play in contrasts. I want the music to start with a build-up leading to a crescendo, leading people to think something big is about to happen. Then there will be a complete change into a different style of something funky and silly. It took a while for me to finally find tracks that suit this pattern, and I found them on Audio Jungle. I don't mind paying a one-time fee to have royalty-free music that I can use as I choose. Now I have to make the edits and incorporate it into my voiceover. The first time you'll hear it will be Monday's newsletter.
