As you can probably tell from the headline, it's been a routine week this week (If there is such a thing on Planet Gilbert), but I'll regale you with the details nonetheless!
Yet More Audio Beta

Now that my voice has very-nearly-almost fully recovered from its short time as a Barry White sound-a-like, I've been recording the audio beta in earnest this week. Once again I find myself in awe of the actors and voice artists who record them for a living. There is a definite way to speak when you're recording an audio book and a very precise metre that one needs to keep in mind.
In my haste to get the thing finished, I've found the whole thing turning into a bit of a production line and when one is in a hurry, the temptation to let little slips go are great. Thankfully though, because I'm recording each scene individually, it will be (relatively) easy to go back afterwards and rerecord any sections when mistakes have sneaked through.
