I would like to give this a shot! I'm a newbie, I've never done this before but it sounds really awesome.

[ysilme]

Yay, welcome! *\O/* It's awesome to have a new voice to listen to.

What kind of experience do you have with recording sound/voice, or reading aloud, and what do you have available for recording? In the end, you'll need an MP3 file, but I can help with converting if necessary. I'm happy to help you with any question.

[starbrow]

Not terribly much experience with recording my own voice, I'm afraid, but it's definitely something I'm interested in. I've been told I have a nice reading voice. :)

I have a Microsoft LiveChat headset and Garageband, I'm sure I can manage to produce an MP3 file. It'll be fine. I've watched tutorials.

[ysilme]

That sounds great! I'm not familiar with Garageband, O
m afraid, as I'm using Audacity, but I suppose the basics will be the same. Working with a headset is fine!
When you're done I'll give you the info about how to upload your file onto our Tindeck account.
I'll post your assignment later; I don't have the text on the notebook, and it's currently too hot to go back inside to power up the desktop.;o)

[periantari]

The hobbits were taken to a corner and given a low bed to lie on, if they wished. Meanwhile men busied themselves about the cave, quietly and in orderly quickness. Light tables were taken from the walls and set up on trestles and laden with gear. This was plain and unadorned for the most part, but all well and fairly, made: round platters, bowls and dishes of glazed brown clay or turned box-wood, smooth and clean. Here and there was a cup or basin of polished bronze; and a goblet of plain silver was set by the Captain's seat in the middle of the inmost table

Read Aloud

Okay - if you haven't filled the last two spots, I'll take one of them, though I'm no longer writing in this fandom.

My apologies - RL has been very demanding of late. My 87 year-old father-in-law recently had open-heart surgery and juggling work and taking my mother-in-law back and forth to the hospital twice a day has really cut into ANY fandom time.

[rla_staff]

Yay, thank you! :o) It's lovely to have you also this time.

After so long journeying and camping, and days spent in the lonely wild, the evening meal seemed a feast to the hobbits: to drink pale yellow wine, cool and fragrant, and eat bread and butter, and salted meats, and dried fruits, and good red cheese, with clean hands and clean knives and plates. Neither Frodo nor Sam refused anything that was offered, nor a second, nor indeed a third helping. The wine coursed in their veins and tired limbs, and they felt glad and easy of heart as they had not done since they left the land of Lórien
