Musings of Two Creative Minds

As many of you have learned from my last post, my great adventure in audio recordings has begun. So far I have recorded only the one short story "Wolves and the Northern Lights", which comes from our first anthology book "The Vampyre Blogs - One Day At a Time". But simply recording one story is a far cry from turning a full-length novel into an audiobook. However, that is indeed my long term goal. At this point, I'm keeping things simple for myself as I still get used to the equipment both for recording as well as editing to get the best sound quality for listeners.  To keep things manageable for myself, I'm planning on recording the rest of the 25+ stories from the anthology, as well as slowly begin recording it's predecessor "The Vampyre Blogs - Coming Home".  Like the anthology, that novel is mainly comprised of blog, e-journal, and e-diary entries from various characters in the book.  And I plan on doing different voices for ...

Okay, here it is folks. My first full-scale attempt at doing an audio recording of one of the short stories from our anthology "The Vampyre Blogs - One Day At a Time".  This particular tale features our vampyre Nathan, talking about Alaska and what it's like to have shape-shifting powers. *NOTE: Do not click on this image, link to audio is provided further down Please feel free to leave some comments below or at YouTube to let me know how I did. I'm hoping to fine tune my skills before trying for a full-scale audiobook version of the anthology and o ur full-length novels in the future. FYI, I'll be putting together a rather lengthy blog entry in the near future (possibly complete with videos including Blooper outtakes) demonstrating what lengths I go to get a good sound quality within the confines of my own home. I think I'll be able to give you all a few good chuckles as well as useful information. Just click on the link below to begin...
