I has a microphone, but I sucks at it...

[Triple Zero]

yeah make a report on all the trolling stuff that's been going on

act like you're reporting live from the ruins of TCC

have shouting mobs and explosions in the background (if possible with your sound editing program try to equalize down the 1000-4000 Hz range, that's where the intelligible bit of voice resides, around and about)

also resist the temptation to add reverb to your voice

[AFK]

and vocoders 

[Cain]

lail.

I like the idea of the ruins of TCC though.  I might be able to rip some war film footage from YouTube or something, I know a site which can convert it to mp3 format.

If you want inspiration, there's a really great audio to be listened to here: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Fisher_Price:_A_Retrospective

Cool.  The only comment I'd make, and it maybe just my laptop's speakers, but the sound effects seem to drown out your words in a few places.  Otherwise, good show.

3 things:


1.  You have a very sexy voice.

2.  Hold the mic 3-4 inches away from your mouth; it will reduce the pops and breath noises.

3.  LOL.

Holy Crap is that an understatment.

[Cain]

Americans always say that 

But yeah, I realized that with the mic as well, though this one seems a bit...tempermental.  Apart from that, I just have to tweak the volume and I think I'm set.

Thanks, constructive criticism is exactly what I wanted.

Home-made pop filter:

1 wire coat hanger

1 old pair of panty hose (ask violette first, your wierdo)



Bend one end of wire hanger into a loop about 4"-5" in diameter, leaving the rest straightened out.

Slip the hose over the loop, creating a screen.

Place filter between your mouth and the mic (it helps if you have a mic stand for this), a few inches from both.

Mic ---> Filter ---> Mouth

This should help with the vocal splosives.

[Cain]

That sounds like a lot of effort for a Friday afternoon.  I'll give it a go though, thanks.

[LMNO]

Oh, and make sure Violette isn't wearing the pantyhose when you try to shove a bent coathanger in them. 



Could cause some consternation.

[Cain]

Too late.

I think my nose is broken 

[LMNO]

LAIL.

I think podcasting may be put back a few days, unless you want to listen to me cough and blow my nose for an hour.

This cold is fucking persistent.  And yes, I'm taking all the traditional (and not so traditional) cures.
