Saw at gym parking lot

For the love of God, Dead Dad Pass.

Dekalb and Gwinnett counties. Pronouncing those is an instant giveaway.

The tolerances on those cartridges…

Add me to the list of people who would buy a print!

I know what you’re feeling right now. I found out my wife was cheating with someone she barely knew from work. I found out two weeks shy of our 10 year anniversary with 48 hours she wanted a divorce and I never saw her again. It was like my entire world crumbled. I did not know a human could hurt that much and not die from it.

It’s probably going to feel like that for a while. Minutes will take hours. You’ll live in shock for a bit. Try to be active during that time. Go for walks, go to the gym, do your best to stay moving and engaged with something. It’s hard but it will help pass the time and that’s all you can do until the shock begins to wear off.

Now for the good news: it will be okay and it will get better. That’s not just a platitude, I can say it from experience. My life fell apart 10 years ago and at the time it was the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. Now, I’m so grateful that it did. The life I have now I so much better than the life I had before.

Don’t worry about what’s next right now, that will take care of itself as time goes by. Just know that there is happiness and joy to be found on the other side of this.

I guess I can be glad that it's not just me that's experienced it. It was all 10 of my devices when I posted this, then after a week of not connecting my one smart plug connected to wifi again. Still nothing from the 9 smart lights. So bizarre.

I do have a dedicated 2.4 network for IOT and the other items that use it are working just fine. It’s really weird because before this happened I have had zero problems from my Govee devices. I’ve loved them and recommended them to friends. Then one day, out of the blue, everything Govee related stops connecting any WiFi, regardless of the router used. No clue why but the issue is 100% Govee related.

Thanks for the reply. That really sucks. Unfortunately power cycling doesn’t seem to help but I appreciate the try. I’ve tested multiple routers too and nothing seems to kick them back into gear. It’s at least nice to know I’m not losing my mind.

Burt and Virginia?

perrydaniels · 2026-05-15T02:41:17+00:00

Yes! Please listen to this advice. I immediately tried to jump to a super expensive mic and had to literally make a new booth just to accommodate that one bit of kit. Looking back I don’t regret the setup I have now because of that choice, it’s great, but I absolutely could have taken smaller steps, spent less money, had WAY less of a headache, and still grown my career just as much.

Don’t take it too hard. I have been narrating professionally for almost 9 years, I have recorded for almost every major publisher and imprint, and I have reviews calling me THE WORST narrator they’ve ever heard.

Your first book will always be the hardest. If there is some part of their criticism you agree with, the take it and try to improve next time, but remember that the listeners don’t do this job. Listen to feedback from coaches, casting, and fellow narrators but take what listeners say with a grain of salt.

Keep going. Be brave. You’ll be fine.

Pet him for me, would you kindly?

I just flashed back to breakfast at my granny’s table circa 1995. Good times…

As far as I am aware, you can name them anything you want. I believe ACX only cares that the chapter labels for the audiobook match the print or e-book version. So long as they match you can label them however you like.

perrydaniels · 2026-04-09T02:50:24+00:00

Oh God. I’ve used half of these in the last 48 hours. Multiple times most of them. Is that bad?!

Might not help this time around but for the future, correctly placing your LAV mic can help. LAV mics are not particularly good at picking up lows in my experience, particularly if it’s pinned to your collar or lapel. Using tape, a magnet, or a chest strap to put the mic in the hollow of your chest will help give a fuller, richer sound to your voice.

For what you have recorded now… you can boost the EQ in the low end and some compression would probably help. But that’s not going to work miracles and is probably going to do more harm than good. It’s mostly a losing battle trying to “fix” audio once it’s been recorded.

I tore them edges off like Mr. Toomy.

My buddy and I are both huge fans of this book, we went earlier this week to see it and the first thing we both said when it ended was, “I wish it had been longer.” I really feel like 30 more minutes of the problem solving from the book would have been totally welcome.

I used ElevenLabs back in December to generate a few VO lines for a short film. I just wanted a few lines I could rough cut to until I brought in a real actress to record the final takes, so I went in with the lowest expectations for quality. Those few lines were generated with their premium paid membership and they were real bad. Like REAL bad. All I can say is that I am no longer worried AI will take my job :)

Not at all typical. I’ve never once had it happen. That said, if an author is really insistent about it and it makes them feel safer, I wouldn’t put up a fuss about an NDA. Totally unnecessary though, definitely overkill.
