Stop, Children—What's That Sound?
Why, it's Lana Hart! And she's recording an audio book!
I promised you that you'd be hearing from me soon. And I'm making good on that promise by letting you in on my little secret: I'm recording an audio book version of The Magic Mirror!
This is part of a bigger project to eventually record The Spellbound Spirit, but man oh man is this a difficult and time-consuming process! It takes me over an hour to record even one chapter, and then four or five hours to edit it. It's a huge undertaking, one that is equal parts enjoyable and challenging.
Want to hear how it's going so far? Just follow this link to Soundcloud, where you can hear the opening to The Magic Mirror narrated by myself with accompaniment by Kevin MacLeod from Incompetech. Incompetech is a site that allows you to use their music under the Creative Commons License as long as you make attribution. Kevin's work will be attributed during the ending credits of the audio book, but the tracks I have used in the prologue thus far are:
Quinn's Song: A New Man
Quinn's Song: The Dance Begins
Ghostocalypse: Crossing the Threshold
So, tell me what you think. How does the audio book sound? Do you like listening to audio books in general? Leave me your thoughts in a comment below!
