Audiobook recording session 2
Mike and I have put a dent in the recording work for Love & Darts. There are twenty-four stories. We've recorded fifteen of them.
I tell you what, voice work is not easy. S's and P's are everywhere. Then with these long sentences? Omg. I definitely understand why voice actors get paid what they do. It was all lovely and lyrical when I was writing this stuff. But you would not believe how difficult it is to articulate some of this stuff out loud. It took us forty minutes to record one fifteen-minute track. I just kept stumbling over the phrases, tangling them up.
But, we're getting through it.
I still think it would be better to have a professional do this stuff. But Mike's going to Europe in a couple weeks. We want to have the project finished before he leaves. We didn't really have time to find another voice actor after Ryan moved on.
I've had a few requests that I do the voice work anyway. So. Whatever. It'll be what it is. I'm grateful for Mike's patience with my inexperience.
We should have the product online for you in the next few weeks.
