Re: SOLO [GERMAN] Fräulein Detektiv von Matthias McDonnell Bodkin - loa

Nächstes Update - bin dran. Noch die Stimmen von 3 Charakteren aufnehmen und die Nachkorrekturen, wo's aktuell "najaaa" klingt. Hoffentlich kommt das Kapitel dann kommende Woche.

Re: SOLO [GERMAN] Fräulein Detektiv von Matthias McDonnell Bodkin - loa

Oha, schon wieder 2 Monate rum. Ich bin am Arbeiten am nächsten Kapitel. Wegen 2 Kurzurlauben und auch, weil im nächsten Kapitel so viele verschiedene Charaktere auftreten (verschiedene Stimmen), habe ich bisher "nur" den Haupttext und die Zeilen der Hauptfigur aufgenommen, die ich noch fe...

Re: ZOOM Discussion Thread

Character voices! Yes please :clap: My observation so far: You can a) give all your characters specific voices, b) read everyone in roughly the same voice but possibly with some modulation for their current emotional state (cheerful, stressed, angry, etc.). B certainly sounds easier on the reader, b...

Re: Whitening background of Gutenberg texts

Anybody know how to change the (often brownish) background color of the Gutenberg texts? You could also edit the page's HTML code. It will set the background to white until you reload the page. These are the instructions for Firefox, but Chrome and Edge also have this function and I assume it shoul...

Re: Librivox Addicts

Getting to hear myself talk. In conversations, I often don't know what to talk about, so it's an interesting experience here to get to fill long stretches of time with my voice. Joy of creation. If something does come out well, it's a pleasant experience. Sidenote, this makes me think of book/game/m...

Re: Editing question

I keep backups, too: One of the complete raw and unedited recording, one of the processed (noise reduction, compressor, amplified to 89 db) but unedited recording. So far, I've mostly needed the processed recording to reinsert audio that was cut out but, on second thought, the better version of a li...

Re: LibriVox monthly statistics

My suspicion is that viewers go by the "most popular" list, seeing how it's always the same books on the top spots.
And maybe some of these views are because people listen to the same stories repeatedly (Anne books, Winnie the Pooh)?

Re: Dutch professional audiobook editor wanting to utilize his bilinguality!

I would be more than happy to sound-design, clean up, or master monologue as well (I have a degree in audioproduction), but my main focus is on the editing part of the audiobook production process. If anyone would like some help with their books, I would be more than honored to help you out! Hi Lau...

Re: SOLO [GERMAN] Fräulein Detektiv von Matthias McDonnell Bodkin - loa

Okay, danke für's PLen und den Tipp! Hmm. Ich habe das mal eben zur Probe alles vorgelesen, und es dauert 1:50. Ich denke, wenn ich ein Zuhörer wäre, würde ich ungeduldig werden. Aber eine Mischform wäre vielleicht gut! Die erste Zeile vorlesen, damit man einen Eindruck bekommt, den Rest mit einer A...

Halbzeit: Kapitel 6 ist ready for PL. Nachtrag: Gleich eine Frage für das nächste Kapitel. Und zwar kommt darin eine codierte Botschaft vor, die ein Buchstabensalat ist (siehe unten). Wie würdest du sowas vorlesen? Es beschreiben vielleicht ("Anmerkung der Leserin/Sprecherin: Es folgen 7 Zeilen...

Re: Audacity died.

I am not sure I understand how OneDrive would interfere with Audacity. If you're installing a new software (Personal Vault?) and it's hogging all the computer's resources somehow (which sounds worrisome, normally, that shouldn't be so resource hungry an action), then, can you wait till the installat...

Pensées by Pascal: Low volume Latin quotes (section 5)

Project: https://librivox.org/pensees_by_blaise_pascal/ Two readers share this project, one of them reads only the Latin quotes. In chapter 5/section 4, all of her quotes are at a super low volume.
