RE: Part One "The Point": Section Ten "Settling the Score"
I would love to hear you read your writing...think it would perfect accompaniment to my nighttime routine. I think I have mentioned this before, but it is so rare to read a voice that isn't absorbed in the "act of writing" - everything is so innate, so authentic
I'm probably going to do audio before long. I considered doing this on Amazon's ACX for my novels but they have some very strict audio tolerances you have to maintain, and I'm not a big fan of their industry monopolization. I recently took one of my novels down from Amazon even though it was running at 5.0 stars (or I guess because it was) because I want to find alternatives for publishing that and other things independently.
An audio version on Dsound or Dtube might very well be one of the things I try just to see the type of response I get. I wanted to work up my reputation score first to get the best response. I left my first novel up on Amazon with exclusive digital rights but I retain the audio rights. I was thinking that a serialized audio novel might be a better fit than serialized text on a blog format like this because I can bring in some visual elements with it. We'll see. I figure I need to build up my Steem Power first too because I think that has an effect on bandwidth which would impact audio much more than text.
Anyways, I do want to do the audio version. More and more comments I'm getting are asking for it. For my fantasy in particular I think it would be a good idea to do the reading myself because of the setting-specific terminology, and because I wrote it to be heard, not just read. There's a certain voice I wrote it for and I want to see at least try to pull that off myself on audio rather than using a voice actor.
Since digital rights are unaffected by audio posts I'm very likely to start trying to go in that direction especially on the Steemit platform. It would be interesting to do it with poetry as well. I was listening to your violin takes a few days ago and the sound quality surprised me. BTW that was very beautiful. Oddly enough my second novel (the one I took down) is about a female violinist bard. I smell a multimedia collaboration here :)
Yes, it is good to be strategic in order to reach the widest audience...I wait patiently! Thank you for listening to my violin (that was just a bit of practice and only recorded on a phone), I will be sharing more violin that I will professionally record and mix. If you are interested you should check out @budika which is an electronic fusion duo I play violin for. With regards to collaboration...I would be very interested to create with you, what a treat! As always, love following everything you do :-)
