Our Recorded Works

[Matt]

:D

I am developing a way for members to have the option to read their own work out here. I think it would be cool to hear it in the voice of the writer so I thought it might be a nice option.

I'm in the process of learning everything I can about podcasts and from what I can tell, its very simple. A software download to record is free and if you don't have a mic...you can get one for like 10 bucks at Walmart :thumbsup:

Not only that, if someone liked how another member read, they could ask that their own work be read by that member. :orely:

So I am just guaging interest here, the technology is available and I think this would be a creative way to use it.

These could also be posted in a section on our new live feeds page

Whenever I record simple voice readings, I go super cheap and use my PowerBook's built in mic and Ableton Live. However, I wouldn't mind finding good podcasting 'ware.

[Matt]

Would you be willing to record something as a test Fruno? I doesn't have to be a reading, just anything

[OchrisO]

There's recorded readings in both Fruno and my poetry threads, if the links still work. I haven't checked.

[Frunobulax]

If it's on FileFront (mine is) they save the files.

[Matt]

Cool you guys, I will check that out. Thank you.

[Frunobulax]

No problem. File hosts like YouSendIt and SendSpace delete files after a while, whereas FileFront doesn't as long as you register (it's free).

[OchrisO]

Mine is on filefront as well.

[Frunobulax]

Then it'll be saved and all that good stuff.

[Jon]

Hmmm...but what if I sound like a dork and don't know it?

[Frunobulax]

It's a risk one has to take.

Matt, it's an ammmazing idea. Man, you rock!
I cannot wait to hear you guys. :grouphug:

[Jean]

as Matt if you feel like reading one another's work, I believe it might be interesting, too. I don't even think you have to wait for the author to ask you.
