For my first foray into recording audio, I chose to participate in the recording of Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases by Grenville Kleiser (Project spec: here).
I didn’t realize how difficult audio recording would be. I’m somewhat satisfied with my results, but I know it could be much better. It will be a learning process.
Anyway, here is the result.
I heard about this cool project on an ITConversations podcast (this one): LibriVox
The idea is a simple one: collaboratively create audio books from texts in the public domain. I love this idea for two reasons.
I’ve signed up to do a couple of sections of Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases by Grenville Kleiser. Not exactly an audiobook many (or any) will sit down to listen to, but a good way to get the equipment calibrated and tested before sinking a serious time investment into (mis-)recording your favorite old book.
If you enjoy audiobooks, I suggest you check out the catalog. As with any bazaar-style project, quality can vary, but over-all, it seems pretty good. You can find me at the site under the username CandiedBrain.
Happy Easter, everyone. I’ve had two celebrations, and I am candied and fooded out. Here in Ohio, it was a little chilly to have an outdoor easter egg hunt, but the kids seemed to enjoy the indoor one just fine.
Welcome to Candied Brain. This site is my first serious attempt to create a webpage. This Wordpress installation will most likely be a temporary; I wanted something to live here while I work.
Despite its transitory nature, this page should not remain empty. Whether that is good or bad will be seen.
