We are happy to announce that the
THOTH recording project is
essentially complete; we now have audio
recordings for every tablet of
THOTH.
These are linked on each tablet's page on the
website; for example, the audio for
O Son Of Man can be listened to by clicking
on "Audio" at the top of the page. All of
the recordings can also be accessed together in
the
THOTH folder on our FTP
(downloads) site. These recordings allow
people to listen to
THOTH rather than read it, if they
would prefer (similar to the idea of an
audiobook).
However, although the essence of this project
is finished, it can still be improved upon.
Some of the recordings we have are low quality,
and most are not read professionally (by an
audio expert, in a studio, etc.). Even
with a reader's best effort, many factors affect
and reduce the quality and perfection of
readings, including the internet connection (if
recorded over the internet), computer
performance, ability and preparedness of the
reader, etc.
We therefore continue to encourage volunteers
to record improved versions of current
recordings and submit them to the
Mission for review. If you have a
good recording setup and know how to record very
well or professionally (also see
suggestions for more perfect readings), you
can help further improve this project.
Please note that your recording will have to
be significantly better
than the current one for the
Mission to consider using it, as we
have used the current readings in ways that make
them difficult to replace (such as putting them
into
sets for morning readings). However,
if you can indeed create recordings that greatly
improve upon what we have, we encourage you to
do so. Eventually we might even use the
best of these readings to create a full
audiobook for THOTH!
