The audio has a couple loud bangs, the first of which scared me to death because I thought something hit my car! Filter and/or re-record mic drops recommended :D
Second, it was a good story but I really would have liked to have a go at solving the problem myself before it was explained to the friends. Perhaps you could have given us, the reader, the problem first and the entire thought process of solving it, with the end of that explanation containing the solution, perhaps that's where you could cut in and explain the solution to the friends. That way if we the readers figure it out ahead of the narration then we get that little bump of dopamine!
- whatrocks 4y agoGreat points. My mic literally dropped during the recording (I was sitting in my bed). I'll try to fix that now and re-upload it (up to this point, the only regular listeners have been my parents and occasionally my wife). Also, excellent call on the problem/game part of the story - I should rewrite that part. I've also been thinking about this story as the backstory to an iPhone game, so maybe I can make it more fun that way.
- whatrocks 4y agoI just re-recorded that big pop at the beginning and re-uploaded. Hopefully that should fix things and sorry for the pop scare! Thanks again for the helpful advice and feedback.
- BizarroLand 4y agoDepending on what software you are using, there are a lot of pop filtering plugins that can automatically remove or reduce those events from the audio. It's worth looking into to make sure you only have to do as little work as possible to produce good quality results.
- whatrocks 4y agoI use Logic and I barely understand it. I need to watch some YouTube videos!
- BizarroLand 4y agoUnderstandable. Logic is a massive program. If you don't have anything against it, I would recommend Audacity for doing voiceover work. It is free, the interface is a little simpler, it comes with plugins that can help you clean up your audio and add effects if needed. (Don't overdo it though as that is a surefire way to make the audio sound amateur, just clean record, remove pops and clicks, light compression and a little barely noticeable reverb is more than enough for a book or story reading)
