Playing with audio

[butterflydreaming]

It has scratchy noise that is kind of moody: Me, reading an old poem aloud. (Hear my lisp? Of course you will. ^_^)

I learned a new thing: the short code for embedding audio into Wordpress. I have successfully 1)used the voice recorder app on my phone, 2)sent the file from phone to computer 3)converted to mp3, 4)discovered how to embed into a Wordpress post, and 5)fought and won in the formatting battle for the text spacing. Wordpress doesn't even need the file type conversion. OTOH, I *always* have text formatting issues with Wp.

Good stuff. The sound of my own recording voice still gives me the weirds, yours sounds much better. Now, publish fics on tape for people to listen to on the morning commute?

I have increased respect for audiobook readers since recording all of my published story. It took longer than I realized it would. My intent had been to make my story available to low vision readers, an under-serviced market.

Then the publisher renegotiated with a contract that locked up the audio rights as well as the print rights. I still hope that she plans to do something with them for the duration of the contract.

Future stories, though. Especially ones that are finished but homeless and likely to remain unpublished. Or since I read drafts aloud anyway, maybe I should turn the recorder on.
