Discord Live Readings

[Lok Enkee]

I've been recently kicking around the idea of doing a live book reading for folks (think like an audiobook, but live). With discord's voice chat, I can possibly do this, if anyone's interested in reading.

At the moment, I've been reading a number of Discworld books for Alora, and I'd be happy to read them for you all as well, if you're all interested.

 

[Estelyn Blackfyre]

I have a friend who is reading "Neverwhere" on her facebook page and I have really enjoyed it. I think that reading for people you know can and is definitely worth consideration.

 

[Elia LePhant]

That would be fun!! I love audiobooks and listening to people read on YouTube/Instagram live.

 

[Leala ni al'Dareis t'al'Caleum]

I just want to say that I initially read this as Discord Live Raisings and got excited for a minute.

this sounds like a really good idea, Lok! :joy

 

[Catt Heckathorne]

I agree, Lok, it sounds like a great idea! It sounds really similar to the Mark Reads channel on YouTube, actually, and that channel is a favorite.

 

[Lok Enkee]

Glad to hear you guys like the idea! Now to just come up with a time for it. What's best for folks?

 

[Mejjad Martnandi]

If it's not during 1-6 am my time I'll listen for sure

 

[Lok Enkee]

I need to work out the time zones. I'm on Eastern Daylight Time.

 

[Estelyn Blackfyre]

I'm Central Standard.

 

[Nymala Ingasy]

EST here.

 

[Lok Enkee]

Well, I'm going to be available for to do this over the next four days, pretty much at any time.

 

[Madhar al'Thera]

Will your glorious beard read the male parts in a gruff, manly tone?

 

[Lok Enkee]

Depends on the character. I've started developing distinct voices for different characters.

I'm thinking of having this reading on Saturday 23rd, at 4pm EDT. That sound good?

 

[Catt Heckathorne]

Eastern time on my end.

 

[Estelyn Blackfyre]

I'm thinking of having this reading on Saturday 23rd, at 4pm EDT. That sound good?

I'm down for that. That should be 3 CST.

 

[Lok Enkee]

Ok, so the reading will be held on the Tar Valon Discord server, May 23rd at 4pm EDT

The book being read will be Terry Pratchett's "The Truth", of his famous Discworld series.

[Alora Sionn]

The Truth is being read right now, not too late to jump in

 

[Estelyn Blackfyre]

@Lok Sionn Thanks for the reading, Lok Sedai. Two hours is definitely a long time to keep at it.

 

[Mendo Cath]

Had lots of fun with this. Sad I missed at least the first 15 min cause I forgot about timezones.

 

[Lok Enkee]

Glad you all enjoyed it. I hope to have a second reading to continue the book.
