Actor/singer/artist, soon-to-be from NYC

[vinnybove]

Hello all!

My name is Vinny, I'm currently living in Central Florida, although I'll be moving to New York this summer to become a starving artist.

I think LibriVox is a wonderful concept, and I've posted to the Readers Wanted Forum for the Short Story collection. I can't wait to become more involved!

Hi Vinny. You'll love New York, even if you're starving Let us know when you break in to a show and I can direct some of my family over to see. (I'm assuming musicals and plays)

Let us know if we can help with getting you setup with the recordings.

Good luck!

Thanks Chris! I appreciate the prompt reply, as well as the Big Apple encouragement. I'm looking to break into theatre in any way possible, although my favorite genre is sketch comedy.

As for recording, I have a Mac with GarageBand, which I've used before for recording scripts for memorization. There's a slight fuzziness to the recording (I blame my mAudio MobilePre for that), but it should still be good listening quality. I even have a screen for the microphone that I made myself. No popping "p"s here!

In the meantime I'll get to work on genetically-engineering that lactose out of cow DNA for ya.

Thanks again!

I have a lab full of Mobile Pre's and for most general recording it's ok. There is defintely a little bit of a problem with their drivers so your issues could very well be because of that. It's amazing that a company like Avid would exercise such poor quality control. But for the money the Mobile Pre's a nice piece of hardware.

Drivers, eh? I've checked for updates in the past, to no avail, but I haven't checked in a while. Are your MobilePres running on Macs? Have you noticed the fuzziness? I always get very poor input volume on the recordings as well. When I crank the gain, it also cranks the fuzz. Very frustrating...
