At long last I have returned to the audio recaps with the long-awaited despite having been also long-recorded chapter five. Thanks for the patience, everyone. I’m hoping to get these out a touch more regularly. Once again the monotone robot voice, once again testing my limits with 50+ dude characters. Let’s dive in! Don’t forget to read along for visuals over on Jenny’s site.
Also if anyone wants some spooky fun this Halloween, be sure to pre-order The Winding Key. I’d appreciate it!

Happy Halloween, ghosts and ghouls! No matter where you are in the world I hope you’re finding ways to enjoy the holiday. It’s tough out there these days and sometimes it’s the little things that help you through it.
Speaking of little things, if anyone felt like treating themselves this Halloween, I’ve got a real fun book recommendation. Animal Instinct is the readin’ for the season.
I hope you all enjoy this recap. I’m afraid yet another dude voice turned up and I’m relying on really hackneyed accents to differentiate. I’ll probably never voice Riley again but there goes my terrible Irish/Scottish abomination.

So in Jenny’s recap of this chapter she mentioned how the last half should be read as though every sentence ended in an upward lilt like a question/Valley Girl. That was… challenging. Also heads up, there is a moment where I scream. It coincides with the pictures of Jenny having a meltdown so be sure to go over to her post and check that out.
Also, many many thanks to Jenny for plugging my book! That was so incredibly nice of her.

While editing I counted at least three exclamations of ‘fuck me’ after I screwed something up. It gave me the idea to one day share an unedited track with you guys before cleaning it up so you get an idea of just how many times I screw up the voices or mispronounce basic words. But today is not that day.
No, today is actually pretty exciting. My book Animal Instinct is live on Amazon today so anyone who pre-ordered, it should be available on your devices. If you haven’t ordered it then you can pick it up immediately should the fancy strike you.
And now for the recap. Be sure you guys check out Jenny’s site for pictures and the song she wrote for Ms. Sarem.

The voice I do for Lani/Zade, while accurately pegged by Jenny as the right fit, makes it incredibly difficult to get through the banal, repetitive, and often nonsensical descriptions in this book. I’m just dragging this bewildered speak and spell through hell in this recording and we all know it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
Never thought I’d miss Ana’s internal monologue. I’ve reached a new low, folks.
Get on over to Jenny’s post so you can see all the pictures!
And if you feel like supporting me, there’s two options. First there’s ko-fi and second you could hop on over to Amazon and pick up a pre-order of my book, Animal Instinct. Plenty of romantic vampire fun for the whole age-appropriate family.

Down once more to the dungeon of my amateur voice acting…
Down we plunge to the prison of badly written novels…
It’s been a long long time since I finished up the audio for Jenny Trout’s 50 Shades adventure. Or at least the audio for the first book. Nowadays Jenny’s tackling a different horrifying sea beast. It’s a book called Handbook for Mortals that recently caused something of a stir. Jenny explains the story in detail on her blog. If you want the nitty gritty, that’s the place to be. And you want to be there anyway so you can see the pictures and videos referenced.
Me? I’m just here to report her brilliance in harpooning the fuck out of this pile of garbage.

Wow, look at that. End of the line. For book one, at least.
I’ve had a lot of fun giving voice to Jenny’s recaps and perfecting the flighty whine that is Ana’s voice. If I had the tech you know I’d happily dub over the Fifty Shades trailer but I think Ana’s actress is going to get more than enough grief so it’s just as well I don’t have that power.
So for the last time for at least a while, go check out Jenny’s blog to see the visual gags.

Here we are at the second to last chapter. It’s potentially the last time I’ll be able to do my terrible southern accent for Ana’s mom. I can’t remember if she has any more speaking parts in Jenny’s recaps.
Well, it was fun while it lasted Ana’s mom!
Be sure to hop over to Jenny’s blog to see all the pictures of the Situation.

You know, it figures that today I’d have yet another issue with posting these recaps. Luckily this one is just mildly annoying and isn’t actually going to stop anything. So for whatever reason, when I try to use the insert link button it just refuses to insert the link. No error message, no hint of a problem. Just a lack of a link. I shall tinker with this later but for now, more recaps!
Also here’s where I’ll put the link to Jenny’s blog once I’m able to do that again.

Happy Friday the 13th! And apparently all the Valentine’s Day advertising for the Fifty Shades movie was just to disguise the fact that the movie comes out today. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I’m amused by the appropriateness of the date. On the other, I’m appalled because I’ve always loved Friday the 13th. My baby Brego was born on Friday the 13th. Thankfully the month was June so E.L. James hasn’t poisoned my horse’s birthday. But still, it’s the principle of the thing.
I think I’m settling on offended as a reaction to this news. So here is my reply.
It’s Fifty Shades Recap Day! Get ready for a brief avalanche of recordings, my friends, because book one is getting done today.
While recording chapter twenty-three I kept getting caught on Ana enjoying that ‘Christian smell’. It was one of the few times I really enjoyed Christian’s name choice because I was able to misunderstand Ana as saying she enjoyed the scent of Christianity. What would that be? Incense and communion wafers?
Be sure to run on over to Jenny’s blog to get the full experience.
Edit: Okay, for whatever reason it’s not letting me insert the link so here’s the physical address.
Edit 2: Fixed!
