Tell Tale Heart Voice

I now have 4 recordings for Tell Tale Heart. None of them are just right, but they all have good bits. I believe I'm going to have a primary voice for Proto (Narrator), but that in different parts of the piece I will use multiple voices. It's hard to plan it out without hearing all the audio tracks.

I was going to put up my example to give everyone an idea of what I wanted, but I have thought better of it. I want different interpretations to chose from. So, the more ways you're willing to submit it, the better. (Meaning styles of reading, not format. The format can be Window WAV or MP3)

My only real comments are

  • Pay attention to pacing, it is important!
  • Leave at least small spaces in between lines unless they seem like something that should really flow.. such as "dissemble no more! I admit the deed!"
  • Make sure you pronounce words correctly and be careful of microphone pops!
  • More is better! The more you give me the better, so if yu wanna read the line 4 or 5 times, that's fine with me!
This reading!!

I read through a few and this one is the one that seems most correct. (Sadly the section on dismemberment is missing in the Literature.org version!)

The only problem with this is where it says "His eve would bother me no more." Obviously, Eve is Eye. As you're reading I'm sure you'd catch it, but just in case.

Also it says a simple thin ray, instead of a single thin ray.

Thank you to everyone!

Cable or DSL?

Sorry about my absense, I feel like I say that a lot. Well no more! I think we're going to be switching to DSL.

Thankfully we're really close to the office so it should be just as fast as Comcast. The brand new modem they gave us is junk, it dies every two hours if I'm lucky, every 15 minutes if I'm not. It constantly needs reset! I'm actually on one of the longer stretches of it working right now.. so who knows, this may very well never get posted....

We at least have them through the end of the month since they're paid up. So if anyone has any comments on DSL or TC3net let me know? I've always had cable. Anyways, a little venting, now I'm done.

Well my power cord died so I had to wait a week or so for the new one which arrived today!!! YAY! And since just the tip was broke on the old one I have a backup one now (since I can take the end of this and put it on the old one. (Provided the tip doesn't break again ;)) So I'm back to work.

EAP has had a little done but I'll have to type it up, I've scribbled up my printed copy of it. I will be getting you guys a script soon. There may be some extra sound effects I'll need and I'll post a list of those as well. I'm going for a more modern approach to this so it should be exciting!

I have a lot of animating to do since I've had no access to my computer to do my paid work. But I will be getting to some art I can actually post here.
