Audiobook Update 4-18

 So, in editing you discover (meaning, I discover) that there are mistakes you had no idea were mistakes during the recording.  For example, there are two main G characters and two main S characters in "Cormorant," and in one chapter, I gave Silas Silveo's voice, and in another, I gave Gwain Gerard's voice.

Oh, and even stranger, in one chapter, I gave Silveo Gerard's voice, for some reason.

Worst of all, there are a couple of these lines that I missed completely, only for Abbie to catch them when I'd sent them her way.  Still, they're pretty easy to fix.  And the progress continues.

Big Toy Show

So, on Saturday, there was a big toy show, the biggest one of the year (although they're talking about doing it again at the end of the year, because it got such a turnout), held in a parking lot downtown.  And this was the first time I went as a seller instead of a buyer.  

It was a very interesting experience, despite my horrible sunburn.  The question is: Would it be an interesting experience for the listeners of my podcast?

Also, I got the first of the last twenty chapters done.  Yay.

Audiobook - The Twenty Eventee

Holy monkey, we're down to twenty chapters left in "The Cormorant."  I can't say I never expected to make it to this, since last week I made the world's saddest pie chart with 26 segments in it (to mark off daily on my blog), and when I counted them . . . it was only twenty.  So, I'm going to mark off each of these segments as I finish each chapter, and post them here.  

Wish me luck . . . it doesn't have to be good.

I Perform "Who Built The Moon?" On Tales To Terrify

Every once in a while, other podcasts will still ask me to do a story for them.  And I'm usually pretty happy to do it*, since I like to narrate stories, and they're usually pretty good ones.  Recently, "Tales To Terrify" asked me to perform "Who Built The Moon?" by Tyler Jones.

Four buddies are on a hunting trip to Canada when something mysterious and/or terrible happens.  What happened to John and his girlfriend out in the woods?  And what is out there now?**

Every story or character or audiobook presents its own challenges.  This one was quite long, with lots of shouting.  Check it out HERE . . . if you dare.

*There was one a year or two back that was so incompetently run that they asked me to do relines eight months after I sent them the story, then had the temerity to complain that the new lines didn't match the old ones.  If I can remember which publication they worked for, I'd vow not to work for them again.  But I can't.

**I bet you can't predict the answer.  Because I've read it thrice now, and I frankly don't know.

Audiobook Update

As I (slowly) approach the home stretch of my work on Abigail Hilton's "The Cormorant," I have grown to hate (above all things) the sounds my mouth makes as I speak.  There are, no exaggeration, at least a obnoxious hundred mouth sounds in every single chapter.  Are these new?  Is it something my voice does as I approach old age?  Have they been present in every previous audiobook and I've never noticed them before?  

I mean, I make it hard on myself anyway with all the line readings, retakes, chair farts, accent experimentation, and genuine eff-ups each time I sit down to record.  But the mouth sounds . . . that's not like saying "Gerald" instead of "Gerard" or reading a Silveo line in Silas's voice.  That shite is some dark, subtle, Lovecraftian evil.  

Every day, though, I chip away at this iceberg, and am trying to get at least one chapter done daily.  By my math, I've got thirty-two episodes left to edit.  And twenty-six days to get them done in.  

You know, this might be my last audiobook this year.

My Book "Not the Same" Available on Audible

So, I've got another audiobook out there, this one "Not the Same," written and narrated by me.

This is the story I wrote about the identical twin sisters, Layla and Shayla, who spend every day together.  But when Shayla goes on a school trip, separating them for a weekend, she comes back . . . somehow changed.  Nobody else seems to see it.  Is it just in Shayla's mind?

No, of course it isn't.  Jeez.

Anyhow, I'll be doing an episode of the Outcast for it (I recorded the fugger back in January--these things take time), but for now, you can check it out RIGHT HERE.

My Voice in "Cacophony" on HorrorAddicts

"R. Outfield puts the 'phony' back in Cacophony!"

--Associated Press

So, last year, Emerian over at the HorrorAddicts podcast had me voice a bunch of male characters on various audio dramas on her show (if you recall, she is somehow able to get out a long podcast, brimming with new content every week or so), and it looks like this year will be no different.

I lend my "talents" to Judith Pancoast's story "Cacophony."  I voice Bob, the douchey husband.  As you do.  Check it out HERE.

Marshal and I Talk About the Return of the Mandalorian

Well, I'm as surprised about this as anyone.  After several months without an episode, Marshal Latham and I got together to talk about "The Mandalorian" for the Delusions of Grandeur podcast.

We're onto Season 3 now (the first three episodes, anyway), and we talk all about it HERE.

Rish Outcast 247: Never Let Him Go 1

In an episode (mostly) from 2020, Rish presents the "Dead & Breakfast" story "Never Let Him Go."  Or, the first half anyway.

Note: A lot of times, I will include extra bits in the episode for my Patreon supporters . . . in this one, I went ahead and released the Patreon version for you too.  You're welcome.
