This is more of an apologetic thread:
The other day I was on the road, listening to an audiobook version of Umberto Eco's "The Name Of The Rose", and I thought: Well, this audiobook craze is pretty big right now - just grab a book, read it out aloud, and make some money with it.
Sure, it doesn't work that way with published works, but I've already seen a couple of unpublished authors gaining popularity (and therefore raising market value) by reading out their stuff and offering it for free download.
Then the lightbulb went on and I thought: Hey, that'll be something for the WC fanfic community - and even something for the great mass of the joystick-challenged and therefore unanointed masses.
So I started to install sound mixing software, borrowed a microphone, and did some voice tests - but alas, my Sigma TelAudio board is that weak in the recording department that this first attempt was totally inacceptable.
So, before I engage on a larger cruise, I'd like to discuss the topic here first: What do you think about the idea?
Or maybe even: Have you tried something like this before (and I don't mean voiceovers for the games), and what can you recommend?
