I then tried putting blankets over my desk and sitting under it. This worked pretty well, 7/10.
Gave me neck ache. Completed the whole chap tho! With... varying quality but hey. Either I'll scrap it and redo it whenever I have the house to myself again, or I'll edit it and post it anyway
Turns out tho I didn't actually need to do any of that bc apparently sitting on my bed with the window closed and using my earphone mic at a specific angle works even better
I am gonna be aching from all the weird positions I've been in in the last two hours but hey l learnt a lot, so it was worth it
Brooooo podficcing is hard /lh
I thought the tricky part was gonna be getting the character voices right and not slipping up but no because fucking ambient noise exists
So far in the last hour, I have tried
1. Lying underneath my bed, the gaps filled with folded up duvet, and my earphone mic dangling from the mattress pallets. 2/10 very uncomfortable, too warm, made the breathing sounds way too loud, can’t fucking move, let alone gesticulate, bc I barely fit under there.
2. In between two sofas with thick blankets and cushions covering the gaps like a pillow fort, cross legged and bent over at the waist so I don’t brush up against the fabrics and make noise. 3/10 uncomfortable, awkward, could still hear the fucking birds on the recording
3. Sitting cross legged on the bathroom floor, under a blanket, phone in a sock, dog sitting forlornly on the other side of the door. 6/10 worked better, ambient noise sounded more constant (easier to remove) and no birds. Awkward and unconventional but hopefully it’ll work this time
Now gotta wait for my kindle to charge so I can read off that rather than my phone, bc I have to record using it rather than my computer bc my computer sounds like a fucking rocket whenever I get it to do anything
