The Game, and Those Who Play: Audio Edition

[ArcFour]

YAY. More people are doing it! Including one of the guy's who's been reading this story from the beginning! I AM PLEASED.

As for the clip itself, MM, I noticed it was kind of quiet. Not bad, but just a bit on the low side. But you did a good job with it; I want to hear more!

Man, I seriously need to get a hold of my mic. I want to do some, myself!

[MeleeMage]

If you're referring to the volume, I think it's because I keep forgetting to change the input volume lately. I'll try to be better about that moving forward.

[ArcFour]

Hahahaha, that's funny. I was talking about mythmonster's Bard of Time clip, specifically. Your volume is fine, Melee!

[mythmonster2]

Fun that the two of us both have the initials MM. I'll probably be working on some other titles soon, once I get time.

[MeleeMage]

Well, considering how many coworkers I've had with similar sounding names, I should be more aware of whether someone is actually talking to me or not.

[MeleeMage]

[mythmonster2]

So, I lost my voice last week, and was unable to record more, as I planned. But, my voice is back and I return with, not one, but two tracks ready for the listening! For some reason, both of these became somewhat muffled after I uploaded them to Tindeck, but I think the quality should still be acceptable. I'm particularly proud of the Thief here. She (I have her as a she) was fun to record.

[ArcFour]

Yes, myth, that was spot on. I especially liked the Thief, you did a great job with her. It makes me want to make sure my next Thief is more like her, hehe. Diabolical characters are almost as fun to write as crazy ones!

[MeleeMage]

Pretty good, Myth.



It seems oddly appropriate that I've been looking up expansions for Arkham Horror lately and the next hero goes grimdark.

[MeleeMage]

You can deny it all you want, you know you love me
Besides, even if you were for me, I'm not sure I'm capable of that particular brand of hatred.

[mythmonster2]

Two more things up! Summer vacation starts tomorrow, so I should be able to upload more of these at a more rapid pace. Who knows, I might be caught up eventually. I had to redo the Sylph a few times until I was happy with it. Hopefully the other Sylphs will be smoother sailing, or I may end up like you, Arc4.

[mythmonster2]

Wow, some increase of volume that was from my end. I was out doing summer vacation things, but I have returned with the Page and Maid of Time. The Page was rather tough to get a good voice for, while Aradia was a breeze. Will be putting up the Prince, Witch, and Knight (Dave!) later.




EDIT: I apparently just noticed that there is randomly a gap of a few seconds in the Maid. I have... no idea why that is there, because it wasn't there before I uploaded to Tindeck, nor is it there in the saved version of the mp3 I have on my computer.

[Amalgam]

This is an audio thread, so I'm not sure if I should post this here, but I made something that I'm planning to continue. It's for this fic, so...



*ollies outy*

[ArcFour]

HO-LEE KEE-RAP

Amalgam, that is really, really cool. What else are you doing? Other titles, or more pictures for this title?

Oh god oh god I can't wait. The first moment I can I'm posting this on AO3. That is, if I have your permission!

Thank you a lot, Amalgam, and I am seriously looking forward to the rest of it!

Okay now I'm seriously inspired to start up Space.

[Amalgam]

More for this one, I think.
After that, if I have time, I'll do more titles.
Permission granted, ArcFour.

[MeleeMage]

Space: the final frontier. ...except not.

[JanusLegion]

Thought that I would give this a go myself, in a sort of "Grand Storyteller" vibe. Not entirely sure that it worked, but what can you do? Just the preface, to start out with, though.

[ArcFour]

Hah, that was fun, Janus. My thought process as I pulled it up was something like "Oh, cool, someone else is doing them too! Well, that's fine by me, the more the OH DAMN HE'S BRITISH."

lol! But yeah, I'd love to hear more. And Melee, great job, as ever! And prompt, too; especially considering I haven't been writing in, what, three months? You are on the ball, sir.

[MeleeMage]

Well, I check the AO3 Homestuck index every morning just to see what piques my interest or if a story I'm reading has been updated. When I saw Those Who Play, I was pretty much like, "HERE WE GO!" Imagine my further surprise when I saw both the Thief and Bard there.

Also, Janus, I thought you did pretty well. At first, I thought your pace was a bit fast, but after listening to it again, I take it back.

[mythmonster2]

So, I believe I promised the Prince, the Witch, and the Knight a while back (over a month!) and now I have delivered, at last. You may notice that the the sound quality has been much improved, thanks to my obtaining of a real headset and not just using the crappy laptop mic I had before. Second canon handle here with Dave, and to be honest, I have no idea how I did with him. Anyways, next up will be the Seer and, finally, the Heir!

[MeleeMage]

[JanusLegion]

I had a few problems with the sound quality when doing these. I think I may need to get my hands on a better microphone.














Looking back at them, I think you have a point, MeleeMage. I think I will try to slow myself down a little in the future.

[mythmonster2]

I think I'll have to agree, you did seem to go a bit fast at times, JL. But that Heir was pretty much perfect. I got real chills listening to it.


And I have finally finished Time. As expected, the Heir was great fun to do. Now, onwards to the next aspect!

[mythmonster2]

And three more titles hot off the press. I'm found the Forger to be just plain fun to record, while the Knight and the Prince both had some rather heavy doses of parentheses, which are rather difficult to work in properly in recording. Either way, it's nice to be on a new Aspect.

[MeleeMage]

I'm ashamed that it took me more than three sentences to realize I was reading about Kanaya.

*NOTE: CLOWN OF RAIN CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE*


I wonder what it is about Manipulative Bastards that make them so much fun to narrate?
