Sometime In Future, I Want To Read Aloud My Stories I Wrote Here In Forum. But...

Serjustin19 · August 2017

Could this be done, Reading Aloud all my Story Creations that I wrote here? Is this allowed? Would anyone be interested in future? If anyone interested how would I do this? Do I post on my YouTube channel and send link to forum?

I was thinking of using Audacity to record and edit my voice. (But I believe My mic would pick up my loud PC Fan Noise) I'm greatly unsure and really don't think this has ever been done before? Record your own stories you wrote on forum?

I'm unsure if anyone would be interested, since I have a speech disorder that I been diagnosed since I was a Kid. (I think it's one reason I don't want use mic on PS4) (I also have a learning Disability, but I'm battling that to. As well as dyslexia, which be hard for you all to tell, since I'm using autocorrect.)

Plus my low self esteem, but anyways. Why do I want to do this besides reasons above?

1. I read somewhere this morning,here in forum. that someone was singing in one of Taverns. Via Xbox voice area zone chat? (I might be wrong unable find link) But got me thinking, maybe I could do this as well. But just only Read my ESO stories Aloud and record then put them here on forum?

2. I'm still battling my antisocial (I been kicked out of PS4 Parties that I been invented to, whole bunch of times. since I won't talk, just don't know how as well as to start conversation)

3. I dislike my voice, I think I sound mean. (Probably my low self esteem)

These are some of my reasons as more. Maybe someday It could help me in future and maybe lend my voice as well as being a (narrator?) someday. Plus besides practice makes perfect, would anyone be interested for me to read the stories Aloud on forum and link in forum; in future?

Hey, I've been thinking of doing the same thing. I share some similar problems to you, including a rather nasally voice, and speech problems. Also I have computer fans too, though it'd be possible to minimize the noise from it.

The ways to distribute the recordings I can think of are:

YouTube
Soundcloud
Using DropBox to hold audio files

And then post all of the links to the forum.

One possible workaround to actually having to record your own voice is through text-to-speech software. Of course, there are issues with those (for me it was trouble with names and onomatopoeia and things like ellipses), but it's a relatively straightforward process. I used Google Drive to write all my stories, and I was able to download the document in an e-book format, and then use Google Play Books on my phone to read it to me. I'm not sure how this works on Apple products though. But the process took a whole ten minutes on my phone, including finding out how to do everything and downloading the document and app.

I see no reason as to why you shouldn't do it.

You've inspired me to give it a small test run, and to see how it works out.

Hi thanks for posting, I haven't heard about sound cloud and drop box. I think I'll check these 2 out, but good chance I'll use YouTube since I'm used to YouTube and since you kindly mentioned.

I'm thinking of buying nuance Dragon Naturally Speaking, but so expensive. https://www.nuance.com/dragon.html

I been using Evernote, instead of Google Drive. I don't mind paying monthly fee, but I'm unsure if Evernote could make E-books though. I have to check that out.

However I started to try and use my mic via in game area chat in Cyrodiil, I can hear other PvPers area. But I still get butterflies a little sick in stomach then unplug my mic.

It might still be a long time to read my stories Aloud and post here in forum Sadly. Thank you again also.
