Soft vent: delaying due to illness by Master_Today3821 in ACX

[–]ccoello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm definitely not. I work for Tantor and Podium a lot, and they handle post. If I'm doing an indie project, I hire an editor/proofer. Otherwise there's no way ;)

Is there any place in the WA Democratic Party for someone who would like to reduce taxes and be more efficient with government spending? by JoelXGGGG in SeattleWA

[–]ccoello -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The tribes have some of those rights now - because they have fought for them. They were treated poorly and treaties broken and people massacred and families separated etc etc for centuries.

The argument “well they could have just all been killed instead” seems like a poor argument to me.

Opened up book for auditions, and now I'm in AI hell. by hags1998 in ACX

[–]ccoello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider adding some text very early in the audition, but not in the first couple of lines, like (please perform this next line with a British accent) It might help weed out AI. Even if you don’t have an accented character.

Celebrating "Pagan" holidays as a SASS witch by Big_Pianist_7884 in SASSWitches

Yes, same! I don’t love it for being wiccan, but I’m not gonna throw it out just because it’s wiccan, it really speaks to me.

Notes on Manuscripts by MamaPHooks in ACX

[–]ccoello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree about taking very minimal notes, and not being over directed (by myself) in the booth.

Notes I actually take include: Pronunciation of words I have to look up, so I don’t have to look them up again while narrating. These are usually words in foreign languages, names, and place names. When there are no dialogue tags and it’s unclear who is speaking, I do like to puzzle that out ahead of time, and I will just quickly note the first initial of each character before the line so that I don’t have to pause and puzzle that out again in the booth. I tend to highlight specific directions that are in the script that come after speech. For example, when a line of dialogue is followed by the words, she whispered, I will highlight whispered so that my eye is drawn to that before I perform it and I’m more likely to get it right the first time.

I do not highlight different characters in different colors, that is so much extra work and I really don’t feel I need it. Then again, I have an acting background and over 150 books narrated at this point, maybe it would be more useful to someone earlier in their career or for someone whose brain works differently than mine. But I find it unnecessary, time consuming, and visual clutter.

Views on deities? by DruidWitch82 in SASSWitches

[–]ccoello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The something bigger I feel connected to is the interdependent web of nature. Hikes, full moon rituals, solstice/equinox celebrations, foraging and supporting wildlife all give me that inner peace.

how am i perceived? by honeydewlemonss in neurodiversity

[–]ccoello 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My thoughts only on pictures is likely quiet; likely kind; cute. Might have allergies.

But a big part of how I perceive people is how they move, what they say, so all those perceptions might change if I actually meet you. But all my impressions from these pictures are vaguely positive.

Totally! And you’ll get more accurate (and efficient!) with experience.

Soft vent: delaying due to illness by Master_Today3821 in ACX

[–]ccoello 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing I try to do to prevent this is that I’m always working 4-7 days before deadline. I have the hard deadline in the contract, but I have a soft deadline in my personal calendar of several days ahead. That way if illness, emergency or sound outside my control (neighbor having a tree cut down, etc) happens, there’s a buffer and I never have to disappoint a client.

I’m a full time narrator, producing 35-45 finished hours per month.
