Topic: Reading/narration collaboration
Hi guys,
I wanted to float out an idea. I run a very tiny and not very much viewed YouTube channel. On said channel, I post remixes/mashups and original music I make as well as readings/narrations.
For now, my primary source of content for my narrations comes from creepypastas: user-created public domain short scary stories. There's a bit of a YouTube subculture for scary story narration. While I'm not limiting myself to scary stories, they are a helluva lotta fun to create. I'd like to also branch out into other genres; it's just a question of finding the right story and ensuring it's free for public use.
I'm trying to differentiate myself from the masses. There are a lot of YouTube narrators that record in one take on a laptop mic or a cheap headset and their work sounds like it. By producing high quality narrations, complete with music and sound effects, my intent is to create a cinematic experience for the listener and give them something they might not hear elsewhere.
What I'm curious about is whether anyone in the FIYH community has the wherewithal and/or the interest to collaborate with me on a story reading. I'm thinking a story with a minimum of 2 characters with back and forth dialogue scenes. The main requirements are that the reading has to be dynamic and acted out, not simply read in a flat tone and that the recording quality has to be high - no $10 Radio Shack microphones.
Would anyone be interested in this? Anyone?
