Blooper Reel Time

As you all know, I've been busy recording audiobooks at home. I've already gotten "Forever's Too Long", my wife Helen's first solo novel, published on Audible where it received a 5-star review. So of course I was eager to turn another of her books into audio as well. So I began recording her second book "Forever Haunted". 

Now having shared on this blog all the technical aspects that I use to record the books, I thought it might be fun to share one or two... um... a few? Oh hell, I make a LOT of mistakes and I run into some other 'obstacles' that I thought might help prepare you all for some of what you might encounter. 

So, here's the first (of what I suspect will be a growing library) of my blooper outtakes...

Now remember folks, "We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical..." Sorry, I'm slipping into the "Outer Limits" show. 

Anyway, you get the idea. We control how we edit our work. We can re-record, adjust the quality of the recording, cut out the 'oops' moments, etc. You can make a hundred mistakes, and yet still end up with a really clean product that people will enjoy. 

And remember, "Never give up and never surrender...." oh, great now I've slipped into "Galaxy Quest". 

Keep writing and recording my friends. And yes, there will be more about the technical aspects of recording will be coming soon.
