1. prereading (I did screw up my recording earlier by prereading but I didn't know whether to stop it or live with it, now I'll dump it ),
2. the limit of 20-40 minute sessions. I read somewhere in this forum that we should complete one section in one sitting otherwise the voice never stays the same and try as I might, I was not able to do it as my voice starts breaking after about the first 15 minutes and I felt guilty about it. Now I won't. And of course
3... little fixers (brushing teeth, drinking water, tea, etc) don't work for everyone. They don't for me. I read online that eating mints before a recording helps by dilating the throat and vocal cords because of menthol and the voice becomes clearer... did not work for me at all except gave me a headache after the fifth one.
And I am very impressed by your 1:10 ratio of editing. My hats off to you. I wish I had half that dedication.
That is what I was originally hoping for when I started but it never worked out like that.
And yes, one thing I definitely need to learn is frequent edits with the waveform. That's one thing I am sure will speed things up for me.
...and I really like your attitude.
Thank you both for helping me.
