11 minutes recording. Then 50 minutes editing. Ow, my fingers need a rest now. After that, 40 minutes of prooflistening while on a walk--I need to rerecord some lines, and also ask the author for some dialogue tags.
Also? I hate saying the word "little". It is my nemesis. (Also the word "pretty".)
I probably spent 10 minutes doing research on finding podficcing resources and reading a little bit about what other people had to say about their processes. I intend to do more, later, in this same vein. Voice is still a disaster, but planning is good.
Your minutes are perfectly fine. I believe you've logged more than me! It's more about getting some encouragement and support and doing it together. <3
I know, I know. My only goal is to get one podfic done by the end of the month. It should be about 30 minutes, if word count is anything to go by, but given that this is the first real podfic I'm doing, I want to do a lot more than just sit in front of the computer and read it and be done. I want sound effects and I'm sure I'll need to edit because it's more than a couple hundred words.
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I really appreciate it. That comm is perfect, by the way!
Ok, add another five minutes of me poking around podfic_tips, trying to figure out which different bits of information will be useful to me when my voice comes back and people are not around, causing there to be noise in the environment:D
...most of this afternoon was spent on this podfic. A few hours redoing some dialogue and splicing in, then ~4 hours listening for other places to rerecord.
Narration re-records are IMPOSSIBLE to get right the first time. *sigh* But since I do character voices, dialogue is much easier. I've got a few bits marked to fix (again), but... I guess that's the secret?
I have a terrible time getting re-records to sound natural when they're spliced in. What's your secret?
I usually start reading a sentence or two before the bit I need to splice in--that makes it sound more natural for me. Also, I do it at the same time of day that I originally recorded, because my voice changes over the day. That's partly why I always record in the morning...
Haven't been home the past few days, so was intending to catch up today. Instead: 10 minutes of fighting with audacity & chrome, another 10 minutes of recording which sounded awkward and stilted. Trying again tomorrow. >.
30 minutes recording my #ITPE podfic!!!! \o/ \o/ \o/ Realising the reading is not-so-good /o\ /o\ /o\ I will call it another dry-run and re-record this week sometime. Also spending an inordinate amount of time working on a spreadsheet of BP authors and what fandom they are in so that I can easily find fics I want to record.
