Good info. If I could add my 2 cents worth.....
Microphones that work for one person do not necessarily work well for the next. I have a few microphones from when I ran a small recording studio and the one that suited my voice for narrating was not…
Wow, thanks Nigel. Lots of great info. Very helpful.
Thanks so much.

Hi Kenn,
I know from my experience with professional British actors, that it can be very stressful on their voice, when they have to quickly change from one character to another in quick succession. Each actor has learnt which system is best suited…
Definitely better. As Nathan says tell the story, so I say 'remember, you're having fun'. I think your accent is what it is, and correcting the cadence and the vigor will be plenty. I see the jowly quality as holding to back of your mouth/throat too…
"Tell the story and don't read the book" - This is true and you are the master at that :) When I listen to your books Nathan, it always feels like you were telling me *your* story as if it really happened to you, and not narrating a work of fiction.…
Thanks Nathan.
Narrating is hard! I think I'll stick to singing LOL
I think the mechanical and stilted nature is from concentrating too hard on the individual words and not just relaxing and enjoying reading it.
Practice practice practice :)
Thanks…
Hi everyone,
I uploaded another sample file in hopes to get some more feedback on my narration. I rerecorded the same prologue (without the promo) and without the tube preamp. I tried to make this as close as possible to what the actual episode will…
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Been practicing my narrating :)
I downloaded Amy Walkers videos.. the how-to parts 1 & 2 were interesting and informative.
Just so you know, I have no desire to write another Jack Ketchum's "Girl Next Door"…
Wew, it does read better 'not offended, than 'offended'. There's a you tube video titled 21 Voices by Amy Walker. The woman does a scary good job illustrating accents. If you search there you can find a few more of hers, and actually lots of voice c…
That was supposed to read I am NOT offended LOL My bad :(
Wow Craig, great reply. Thank you.
I have no idea what a California accent is... I'm Canadian eh :) The only accent I knw about California is ala Sean Penn or surfur , "Gnarly dude" and I don't think that's what you meant. Ed Harris movies I have.…
Thanks Nathan.
I appreciate the feedback.
No, the promo won't be included.
Yes, I agree the music intro is too long. I think 30 seconds is a bit fast... I believe you do hold the current record for the fastest intros lol ... that being said, I under…
Wow, I love your promo, I hooked already! I get the child's synthesized voice, she's a computer talking, but clean it up a bit, she garbles too much for her soft volume. Also, the background effects are too prominent over the voices, hers in particu…
Hi everyone,
My first book, Dead Hunt, will be a full cast production (Evo already went on record as saying I was nuts :) and the cast has their parts, editor is working on the final tweaks, and I realized I should get some advice on how I am doing…

Writer's Write
by Kenn Crawford
I don't care what anyone says, writing is hard work. Now I may not have to break my back mining coal like my ancestors did, and thanks to my laptop I don't even have to push down those big, clunky typewriter keys anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s not hard work. I learned that lesson a few years ago.
I was asked to write a weekly newspaper column and I jumped at the chance; it would be the proverbial feather in my cap because it would m… Continue
