This was very cool. I’d love to see you do more of these teasers. Mic sounds great and I appreciated the sound fx!

Thanks, Taegan! Still learning the ropes. I used Final Cut for the first time here. They are fun to do. I saw you mentioned Adobe Podcast (I think) for cleaning up the audio, I may give that a try, too. I'd like to record audio versions but the location here is super noisy, so have to work around sirens and stuff.

Definitely try Adobe Podcast Enhancer! It’ll clear all that right up. My only tip is to make sure when you record the initial audio to keep the levels away from peaking. The software sometimes distorted high db audio. But it’ll take out all the sirens and noise no problem

Awesome. I had to switch off the software noise gate of the RODE app because it would attack too aggressively and cut off speech. Will give this a try! Also, since I am planning on recording audiobooks on my YouTube channel "Page Turners" (or maybe I should do it here instead, haven't started yet) this may help for that, too!

Loved it. The green is great, as well as the animation 🟩🟩🟩✔

Highly recommend listening with headphones. My first listen with just my laptop speakers didn't do it justice.

Honestly, I'd go both written and audio versions. The atmosphere of the walking and ambience really add something, so even just that to listen to whilst reading would be a great experience.

edit: PS I'm very happy with post frequency, as well as the blend of craft vs fiction. My vote is to simply keep at it and follow your own thoughts, as it's working in my opinion!

Thanks, Nathan. Appreciate the feedback. More audio recording and mixing on the to-do list!

It makes me wonder about narrating a story. And by "me", I mean I'll ask my wife, because she is a professional VO artist. My attempts would likely be bad, I imagine.

Lucky you! I will have to do it myself, so let's see what the reaction will be. You could give it a go, too! Or, do a performance together!

Nike. You forgot the "just" then again "just" is a fill word and as an editor, you don't use fill words. ;) Thanks, Nadja for the encouragement! I shall get this recorded asap.
