Yolanda King Dies

Yolanda King Dies
With sadness we learn of Yolanda King's death today. An actor, activist, speaker, and daughter of the Civil Rights Movement, Ms. King was a voice of hope and a symbol of empowerment. I once had the privilege of hearing her speak when I was in college. She was a powerful and dynamic speaker and she had a commanding presence. An inheritor of her parents' nobility and an accomplished leader in her own right, Yolanda King will be missed. "Let light perpetual shine upon her."

How to get started in Voiceovers
Well, I am still exploring this question myself. I found a very interesting perspective on this question here at Dave Houston's Blog. Eventually, when I am rich and famous, I will compose an amazingly pithy and interesting answer to this question myself. In the meantime, I will share the resources I find with you so we can learn together!

Fifteen minutes on agni with voice

Filed under: Stories

Well, I downloaded the voice-enabled First Look viewer, and went out to one of the PG welcome areas to have a listen. Results were … mixed, to say the least.

A cluster of ten people were standing around talking. It only took a few minutes to identify six distinct issues. We could call them the big six, but that's already taken, right?

Firstly, the Active Speakers window isn't much help in a group. At any moment four or five people were lit up as speaking, but with several seconds delay between someone lighting up as 'speaking' and the voice arriving, it doesn't really help much in identifying who's voice you are hearing at any moment.

Second, someone is occasionally screaming or howling in the background. I've no idea who.

Third, every few words is fardling or spoony or abfold or snurble (Confused? See here). Who is swearing like a sailor? A few people, by the voices, but I can't tell who. Never mind this is a PG sim. If you use SL for work, you'll probably want to stay away from public gathering places if anyone in the office can hear your audio.

Fourth, crosstalk. Miss a word or two because someone is talking over the top of them, and you've got no idea what they said. People are going "What?" "What did you say?" "Can you repeat that?"

Fifth, I can hear everyone's tv, radio, cd-player in the background. That doesn't make it any easier.

Sixth, unlike all other sounds, voice doesn't go away when you minimize SL.

Issues. There are definitely issues. Mostly, of course, they're social issues, not technological ones.
