It took nearly six months and it’s less than a minute, but I finally have a blurb/teaser for my Northern Lights Audio Recording project. I still have some kinks to work out in regards to music. There are songs I’d love to use, but since many of them are copyrighted, it might get a little hairy on YouTube. I suppose we’re going to find out, since I made two versions of the blurb: one with copyrighted music and the other with music I’m going to buy the license for. This post will contain the former (I haven’t purchased the license yet) and more favorite of the songs. I’ve used it in my videos before.
Music
Artist: Enya
Song: As Baile

Now all of your curious people know what my “recording” voice sounds like 😀

Ahh this is exciting! Also, your voice is so pretty . . . it seems well-suited to audio recording (unlike my own, haha).

Thank you! It took me a long time to like my voice because it was so nasal when I was a little girl lol. Then I got into choir and singing and they teach you how to kind of soften that because PA has SUCH a nasal accent, which sounds awful songs. I think it’s an eastern PA thing because my husband is from Pittsburgh and he doesn’t really have it. I guess it makes sense because New York and Boston accents are kinda nasal maybe? I’m also worried my UK friends will think I’m mocking them o.O

You sound badass! Also, I’ve considered you a friend for I dunno how many years now (over 3-ish?) and it was so surreal to actually hear your voice instead of read your words, haha.

Aw thank you! Now you have a presumptuous voice to put to the presumptuous words lol. I don’t sound like that all that time. I usually sound more valley girlish. I should do a “different voices” recording.
I think I know how The Well Red Mage, Hungy Goriya, Mr. Panda, and Cheap Boss Attack sound! It’s so weird that the internet has created that kind of reality. I remember reading somewhere about how the phrase “Where are you?” only became really possible with the advent of cell phones because before then you always knew where people were if you were talking to them o.O

Aw thank you! I’d love to get into voice acting. It acts up when I take my asthma meds which is so irritating. I can’t wait to work on more though. I do have some recordings of Chapter 1, but I think I’m going to redo it with the better mic.

This is awesome! Your voice is fantastic. I agree with C&M’s comment about you needing to do voice acting. 😀

D’awww. Thank you! It’s something I’d actually love to do. There are sites where you can audition to do so for reading, and it’s something I might look into when I have more time!

Aww don’t beat yourself up too much! I hated my voice when I was younger probably from being told how “whiney” it was and having it mocked, but either it’s mellowed out or it was never that bad. I have a natural “Pennsylvanian” accent which is REALLY nasal so I have to tone that down when I record :p

I don’t think you sound nasally or whiney lol! I think many people don’t like the sound of their own voices though. I feel like I talk normal, but when I hear myself played back I sound way younger than I actually am haha.
