Well, I did my first session putting down And Ye Shall Be As Gods on audio, and I don't think it went half-bad. I managed to get all the prologue down--about 24 pages--in an hour. Not much compared to guys who do it for a living, but I'm hoping I'll get better as I go along.
WHAT A WORKOUT! I've never been so tired after any of my workouts as I was after that hour. Was part of the exhaustion the result of nervousness? It's been years since I've done any voice-over work and I was never all that good at it. Of course, most of that was in Spanish, but the engineers used to tease me about the number of pickups I needed on an audio-visual.
Well, this time the engineer, Lisa, was VERY complimentary. She said other readers she's worked with had more pickups than I did. The fact that I practiced like a fool probably helped.
Keeping my fingers crossed and knocking on every piece of wood (including that inside my cranium) I can find.
