I'm so naive. I really thought it would be as easy as recording my audio and... I dunno... just sort of POPPING it up here on Psycho-Noir. Bing-o, bang-o. But no, Blogger makes a big production out of it.
But I pulled it off, at long last. My friend Nat Pike (the amazingly talented fella who did the music in my book trailer for THE BASTARD HAND) gave me the low-down on Soundcloud, and that's what I wound up using.
I decided to go with "Incident on a Rain-Soaked Corner", because halfway through reading "It Will All Be Carried Away", my voice started giving out. "Incident" is much shorter.
Granted, my recording isn't exactly pro quality-- you'll here the occasional clicky sound as I navigate through the story-- but over-all it's not too bad.

I love it. This story makes me laugh out loud with the ordinariness of the lines in an extraordinary situation. Two great, absurd yet solid characters. A great little story, and interesting to hear it in your voice, with the author's own cadence.
ReplyDeleteChristopher, thanks for suggesting "Incident", it was much easier to do and gave me a chance to show what a lousy voice-actor I am... but it was fun to do.
ReplyDeleteI got a whoa-something went wrong notice, but I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't work here either, Heath :/
ReplyDeleteHey folks... Soundcloud is having issues with their website. The link up there is good, so, for a change, it ain't my fault. Hopefully they'll get it together sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, Heath a nice way to start my Sunday morning in grey, rainy London. Terrific story and hearing it read by you added to the experience in a good way. You should do more.
ReplyDeleteBest, Alan.
Thanks, Alan!
