Edited Chapter, Help Wanted · 12:54am Jul 9th, 2016
Chapter 7 of my first fanfic, "Thomas Goes To Equestria" has been updated with Twivine officially singing. The song in question seemed appropriate at the time.
Does anyone know how to make an audio? Because that's what I want to do with the story, but I have no idea how.
There's a learning curve, but not too bad if you catch on quickly. I recorded and edited a Doctor Who podcast for two years for the number one sci-fi internet radio station a couple of years ago (we were their #1 podcast for those years, too!) and used the skills I acquired then to run with other editing projects.
You need audio recording/editing software (I use Audacity - it's FREE), a mic - preferably a good one. Using your computer's in-built mic will make the audio quality suffer horribly. Get a "snowball" - that's the best for an amateur set-up.
Then you need someone who can do the edits that is good. It takes a very detail-oriented person with a good ear. An edit can be made so much better if it's edited down to the tenths of a second as opposed to anything longer - trust me! Luckily I had both the ear and the detail orientation to do the job back then - still do. One day when I am at a lull in my King Sombra stories, I want to record some audio dramas based on them, but I love writing too much to do that right now.
You can PM me if you want for more advice. Good luck on your project!
