Hey! I just completed my first audiobook! This is something I've been meaning to do for a long time, but I finally found the time, or made it. Fyodor Dostoyevsky's classic short story, "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man." Though it's a first try and not exactly perfect, I'm pleased with how it turned out. I'll be posting the whole thing online later. Here is one key part of the story, with a woodcut or etching from an old edition of the story printed long ago which depicts that scene. Pardon any jumpiness in my Ken Burns moving photograph effects--I was planning just to have the still photo on the screen the whole time, but because of the format it came out very small on screen, so I used the Ken Burns to show and enlarge some of the details. Note: my voice unfortunately only comes close to sounding good if it is listened to on equipment that picks up bass well. On such equipment, it can actually sound pretty good (I think). On equipment that does not pick up bass well, I sound ! like a bad telephone answering machine message or a tin-can-and-string telephone.
