Philosophical Vegan Forum

Let's convert some topics/threads into youtube videos to get the information out there and attract members.

Who has a good mic and recording location and can do voice work? Can you upload a sample?

We can go with different people for different videos, we'll just have to aim for clear enunciation and somebody who can read the not-written-for speech tongue twisters of forum text in a lively and upbeat way (and quickly).

I have a good mic, I would like to do it. This is my music channel (I don't really update it often, and it's not really serious (dare I say, silly)): https://soundcloud.com/k2aa72
There you can hear my voice reading a silly poem :p.

I can read a sample text as well, could you provide one?

You could try reading a couple hundred words from a recent post, like:

I'm down, depending on the topic.

I recorded my reading of the first part of the first post. It was actually a quite hard post to read, because you have to think of a way to "pronounce" the diagrams on the fly, and also talk around the quotes and so on... Of course, if you make a video you can actually show the diagrams and quotes.

Yes, we'll show the diagrams and quotes.

Your voice sounds good and your pronunciation is clear, the only problem is the speed: the videos would be too long. Can you try a faster read? Thanks!

Sounds good. I actually wanted to convert some of my posts and others here (I would give credit) into YouTube videos. I'm working on getting my channel started. It sounds like a good way to get my feet of the ground, and I'd like to talk a bit about philosophy and shit. I don't like channels that talk about popular culture (like I Hate Everything and GradeAUnderA), since they always come off as, what's the term, snobby and they don't really seem to be the intellectuals that people make them out to be. I can't believe I'm saying this, but The Amazing Atheist in his earlier years was more of an intellectual. I'd probably talk about things like video games (maybe not, because I only play 2, and they're from the same series), maybe movies, but probably not. My Girlfriend post is one I've been dying to convert into a video.

I would help you guys out with this, but I don't have a mic, and there's a lot of echo in my room. I may invest in one soon (since my birthday is soon coming up). I'd love to help! Then again, I'm only 14, and I don't think anyone would take my voice seriously.

question, where would we upload these videos? TheVeganAtheist's channel?

I don't think I could do it a lot faster... I can give it one more try. I could also speed up the playing speed. (This is what I usually do with YouTube videos, it saves a lot of time)

We could experiment with that. There may also be some programs that can automatically remove some of the time in the pauses too.
