It is so hard...
When I read, I like to read in a whisper sometimes. I thought if I could record some of the materials, it would be interesting. And I was right. It is interesting, but so very hard.
I could not read without all kinds of noises, from my nose, my throat, even my stomach. I usually do my recording after dinner. I guess that doesn't help the noises.
I just recently put an video up YT. I spend more than a month to do it. Because I want to use PPt to make slides with pictures and the article. But I need to learn the most basic of PPt. BTW, I don't have PPt. So I used Libreoffice Impress. It works the same, almost. Then there's the format and design of the slides. I eventually decides to go with the Traditional Chinese format, vertical style. That took some doing. Along the way, I scrapped the plan for a partial quote of the article to a full copy. Because, my recording has too many problems, wrong pronunciations, adding words that's not there, or subtracting words that's there. And therein lies a real problem. I re-record a few more times, trying to see if I could replace the intended voice recording. I failed, I could not produce another recording with the same tone, speed, and emotions.
Anyway, it was frustrated. I spent half day putting this project up on YT after talking to my sis. She said if the mistakes did not alter the story, I should just salvage it. So I did.
Another thing, no more sending videos to relatives and people. Let them live in peace... lol The recording is really not a joy to listen. I listened on a laptop then a cellphone. My gosh, the cellphone's quality is pretty bad. I can imagine what other people would think. So no more. Just let it flow on the YT ocean, and hope no one will find them and tell me to pull them down... lol
