Have you ever wondered what kind of shenanigans happen when you record an audiobook by yourself? Well, worry no longer as you can now find out with a blooper reel from my most recent audiobook recording!
When I recorded The Ascension of Melanie Winters as an audiobook, there were a lot of things that happened which messed up the recordings. Highlights include:
- Not being able to pronounce words beginning with the letter S properly
- My dog coming in and just being himself
- My partner randomly singing and wondering why I sound like an AI program
- Many, MANY cars and motorbikes speeding past
- Too many flubbed lines to count
And many more!
I did this with the first recording I ever did, as I felt that the bloopers were too good not to share with everyone. So below, you can find a full 23 minute video complete with all my slip-ups and whoopsies when recording The Ascension of Melanie Winters.
Another fun little fact for you: when I started editing this video, my hair was red therefore the corresponding chibi was too. But this video took SO long to make (purely because of the captioning and the chibis) I ended up changing my hair colour jsut before I finished it, so the chibi’s hair colour had to change too!
I’m thinking of doing more author centric videos on my YouTube channel; if it’s something you’d be interested in seeing, please let me know!
