That is true and I do admit to rather limited knowledge in the field. It's quite evident, though, that there are degrees in the amount of dramatization one can put in an audio production. Say, compare these two audiobooks: These are two good…

You know, to be honest it's the whole audiobook format that I don't get too much. Let me clarify by making a (silly) distinction between an audiobook and a dramatic reading, though. I see a dramatic reading as a performance delivered like …

You definitely should focus on the situation as well, in fact that's the point: having even more information on your whereabouts. It shouldn't lead to monotony, quite the contrary, it should help add character to the performance and make i…

Aye, great video. The only bit I feel like adding is stressing how important it is to do a "character study" before working on a play: understanding who your character is, where he comes from, what's his personality etc. so you can de…

Hey EN, college is letting me breathe a bit more these days, so I can take care of editing if you're pressed for time. Considering DeftFunk and Scribbler have been nice enough to lend us a hand, it'd be nice to see this work completed :)

Utilizing Audacity to improve audio quality
It's a place with good acoustics, which basically means as little reverb as possible so, ideally, a soundproofed recording booth or a theatre, if you were feeling particularly magniloquent :p . Realistically speaking, you're looking for a …

Oh dear. That's Scribbler, innit? Hah, thank you both!

I think it might be because of that handful of links I put in the forced alignment thing thread. EDIT - It also seems to be gone.

Aye, I see what you mean. You've generally kept a livelier tone (which is good) and we don't bounce too well against each other, especially early on. I'll try and rerecord things, possibly today already. Do tell me what specific parts…

Indeed. It'd be the ultimate audiobook recording tool. Upon doing a bit more research, I found out this sort of thing is called "forced alignment" and there are a number of university research projects on the subject. Of course, that…

Utilizing Audacity to improve audio quality
Well, I'm not the savviest when it comes to audio editing, certainly Equestria Narrator will have a few tips for you when he comes around, but removing noise and applying compression are the essential steps. Post production can do a lot but it&…

Hah! Quite the nice surprise hearing you on the latest episode, DeftFunk! Great job, man.

Bugreports and feature requests go here
One more thing that came up in that chat (that I forgot to capture) is that people don't know how to update an already uploaded reading with more chapters and I realize that I don't either. I can take a few educated guesses, but my point …

Fellow VA Pounce suffers stroke
It's incredibly ironic, in a good way, that the last update on Pounce's website is literally shouting "I'm not dead!". A stroke at 26 is something that's... difficult to put into focus.

Crazed Rambling throws in the towel on Project Horizons.
Well, the general consensus on 4chan is that Volume 1 is very good, Volume 2 is passable and everything from Volume 3 onwards is nothing but putrescence. This has been somewhat admitted by Somber himself and stems mostly from the story moving away f…

Crazed Rambling throws in the towel on Project Horizons.
I'm happy to see him trying to pursue a VA career. His audiobooks do tend to be monotonous at times, but you can definitely tell he has it in him to become really good. Also, it's funny. Considering I haven't put out a new chapter sin…

Blank Slate
I've just realized the very first chapters, written in a collective "we", could potentially end up really good if done as a group project. I'm up to my eyeballs in stuff to do at the very least until Christmas, but this might ver…

Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons
Haha, thank you Miza. You should try listening to Illya next, I swear to God that man's throat must not be human. At any rate, my only fear with trying to cover too many roles with not that many VA's is that things might end up sounding a…

Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons
Hm! While it certainly is no Project Horizons, Pink Eyes still runs some 130k+ words and has quite a large number of characters. I'm not too sure how it would sound having several VA's voice multiple characters. I think you might get bette…

Great! I know a few people who draw ponies, maybe I'll be able to get us a frame or two drawn.

Ah, yes. I've used that pesky sore throat I get when I've just woken up in the morning to record some raspy characters too. I'll drop Squeak a line, then. There's no rush, at any rate.
