working on this slowly despite technical issues. Hopefully within 24 hours I will have a demo.

Once I do have something how should I give it to you Scared Girl? Should I upload it to a site for you or?
Yea, uploading it to a site would probably be the best option. But if you want, you can start a new topic on this section and give the upload link to everyone. This way you get more feedback. But if you want to keep it a "secret" for now, just PM me the link.

Okay here is what I made:

http://www.mediafire.com/?n1dz1j8bz418map


Now, can someone help me make it friendlier to listen to? Downloading an 8 mb file is a pain in the butt. I wish there was a way I could stream it but I don't know how.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Also, if you successfully download and listen, feel free to leave a comment. It's about 8.5 minutes.

The youtube is not working for me, so I've downloaded the file instead.
Loved the "winning a card" sound. However, I feel it's a bit flat almost like listening to news in a radio, but I'm not creative enough to suggest on how to make it better. Overall, it is definitely a great effort and I'll wait for others to comment.

Time for my word on this.  :)

First of all, thanks a bunch for picking up this project; I know it isn't easy by any means.  The sound effects are pretty cool, especially the "card won" segment from the game.  The music was techno-savvy, and made me tap my foot for a little.

About your voice though, it sort of sounds croaky.  This is mostly because you are reading slowly and trying to interpret what you're going to say.  If you want a quick-fix for this, since changing the way you speak isn't fast, you should record yourself reading a semi-long sentence over and over.  Try reading like you would normally, then a bit faster, then with more clarity, ect.  Once you find one way of saying the sentence that keeps the listener's attention on your voice, and it's one you like, then keep practicing that one voice.  Eventually, start reading/recording paragraphs.

This worked for me on my videos because, sort of the opposite of you, I talked extraordinarily fast in the beginning.  I've learned to speak slower and with more clarity, and have improved how I speak publicly as an effect.

Best of luck with this, and take my opinion for a grain of salt if you wish.  :)

okay thanks for the feedback you two.

I will record another segment next week and I will take more care in the voice part. That actually came from a single continuous recording as I have to borrow my gf's comp to use a mic. Do you think I should use more of a Radio voice? The Kind where THEY talk With ALL their Words super DRAMATICALLY (SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY)... Or just try and go for some more clarity of my regular voice?

Questions for you and others:

Is a news segment too boring?

How was the length?

I know it was boring, but how was the content?

Should I use more sound effects to make it more interesting?

I think it would be better if you had guests but unless there is news a news show will be boring what I mean by that is if nothing new is going on in element ie new decks or cards then a ele news thing will be boring.

How was the length?
It was good enough for a solo show.

Quote
I know it was boring, but how was the content?
Same as my first answer.

Quote

No, current sound is good.



Edit: no "news voice" it just sounds silly





Oh and to upload it to youtube you need it to be in a video format not mp3

1.  Clarity is more important than anything.  You could have the most dramatic voice in the world, yet it wouldn't matter if you can't be understandable and entertaining.

2.  "News segment" is just a fancy term for stating the important stuff all in one paragraph.  It isn't bad by any means, but some information does get lost when other, more important stuff is being read next to it.

3.  The length was acceptable, at least for a demo.

4.  It wasn't boring, or at least that isn't the word I would use to describe it.  A better mic should be #1 right now if you're serious about picking up the project.

5.  The occasional sound effect is okay, but your voice is the primary point of the show.

Ok, I finally managed to listen to it.

Reading some of the previous comments, I was expecting something much worse. I liked the show, I liked it a lot. Actually, I think it was awesome.

I have a couple of comments.

I think that the content was awesome. I mean really awesome. Radio DJ's don't always know what they are talking about, but you clearly knew what you were talking about.

The length was perfect. With 10 minute shows, the pace is fast and it doesn't get boring.

I'm guessing the mic you are using is not professional quality? :) The sound is not terrible, but it has a bit of that "amateur" feel to it with the echo etc.

There's a trick you can use to make it sound better: use background music. With a subtle low-volume background music, tiny flaws in sound recording can be masked. Background music also makes the show sound more "fun" and less like boring news. Try it out and you'll see the difference.

Once again, I'd like to apologize for totally forgetting this whole thing. We should have made your radio show happen a long time ago. But better late than never, right :)


What I'd like to do next is put your show in our chatroom.

See the audio files here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,22560.0.html)? That's what I had in mind.

The process would go like this:

1. You record a show
2. You upload it to Kiwi6 (takes less than a minute)
3. You PM me the code
4. I'll add the code to chat room
5. Millions of chat people listen to your show and you become a celebrity


Naturally we cannot pay any money for doing this, but there are some cool perks like..

- Cool forum title
- A website for the show
etc.


I have tons of questions and suggestions that I will post later.

Once again, great work.
