[Narration] Sounds From Afternoon Go Games (Hikaru no Go)
This is the last narration from me for ihikago round three! Oh man ... procrastination is not a good thing. I hope this makes it in time.

Narration Notes: I'd originally hoped to do a much more ambitious effects-laden recording. Somehow, things sort of ran away from me, and so I recorded this in one marathon session. I must thank ontogenesis for lending me real shell go stones for the sound effects--nothing beats the sound generated by the real thing. I had a problem with scene shifts, but I figured out playing a small tone would signify the scene changes clearly.
I found switching between voices the most difficult of all, and I'm sure people can't tell between Akira, Hikaru, Ishikawa, and Ashiwara, because all of them sound alike in this narration. *facepalms* Character voices are my biggest problem. I won't go back and re-record this for the voices, though, because my throat hurts doing character voices. This will probably be what holds me back in this industry, more than anything else--the inability to do a variety of voices.
Finally, the sound levels are uneven, especially changes in background static noises. I'm sorry--I'm not a very good sound engineer. Given time and some experimentation I might be able to figure out how to smooth the transitional noises as I cut back and forth between audio tracks, mixing them. Right now? Er, I need more work with this software.
Enjoy, and thanks for listening; please remember to tell tarigwaemir how much you enjoyed her fic! Comments on how I can improve greatly appreciated!
