As part of this project, I am attempting to do something that I have never been comfortable with doing, which is using my own voice, this time in the context of voice-over or narration. I spent a day with an RE-20 Microphone connected to a Zoom and ran through a scary story that I found online multiple times. *1
I edited the story that I found slightly so that I could read it easier and also make it sound like something I would write/say. It took me a fair few tries to actually get to a point where I felt comfortable talking to the microphone and also got all of the words write on a single take.
However, after about the twentieth try, I got to a point where I felt comfortable and could read the piece in its entirety. My original plan was to have someone else do the narration of the story, however, I quite enjoyed the process and I want to try and get better during this project.
