The How Too of an Author Reading

  • First you have to write your story. For this first time, you may choose any freewrite prompt we have had in the past. In the future, we might change that to a specific prompt.

  • Rewrite and edit your story to your heart’s content. You also have no length constrictions - it is entirely up to you.

  • Read and record your story on video. Publish to DTube (and YouTube).

  • Use the tags: freeread, onelovedtube, and if you wish, family77

  • Drop a link to your reading in the comments section of this post.

Here are some hints:

  • Practicing your reading might be a good thing.
  • Choose a quiet environment to do your reading. Remember that AC units, heaters, dishwashers and such can be very disturbing in the background.
  • Check out the acoustics of the room - bare walls are not a good thing for audio.
  • If you are outside, make sure that the background noises fit into your story.
  • Get a tripod or something to stabilize your camera/phone.
  • Use a microphone if you can. A simple headphone with a microphone can work well.
  • Do a test first and check your sound, background and so forth.
  • If you don’t want to show yourself reading the story, make sure that you have permission to use all images. Read the permissions carefully that they apply for video.
  • Have fun!!

If you are running into problems, make sure to check out the OneLoveDTube discord. On the discord, lots of tech support is waiting for you. They are a great bunch of people. Don’t hesitate to ask questions.

Here is your invite to the One Love DTube channel

They are working on an alternative uploader and such. It will also store the videos. It is not free but if you do a lot of videos, it might be the way to go. Here is some information

I am trying it out now and will let you know soon how I am doing. You all know that if I can do it, you will too. Not the tech wizard over here. So happy to have the OneLoveDTube discord for all my questions.

This looks like so much fun. Funny to see this now...I actually thought about making some spoken recordings of some of my micro fiction and poetry awhile back. Still seems like a good idea to try and overcome some of my shyness and have something interesting for dtube at the same time.

Yes!! Go for it!! If you don't want to show your face, you can always have photos or a video of something and add your voice. Hope to see an entry from you!!
