ellenkushnerNow, where were we?
Right, yes: Last week we recorded all the male actors' scenes for the bits of THE FALL OF THE KINGS audiobook (for Neil Gaiman Presents) that we're illuminating - and today, I returned to the Brooklyn Basement Studio to pick up where I left off my narration recording before the holidays.
We have just hit Theron's Nervous Breakdown (or is it . . . MAGIC???). Maybe it's that it's been so long since Delia & I wrote the book. But I think it's that when you read it aloud, this shit is Intensely Creepy. Really. I gave myself chills. That boy is Not All Right. You can try it for yourself if you like - reading it aloud at home, I mean - but frankly, I don't recommend it.
Fortunately, Jessica has just turned up - in the Tanners' yard outside the Apricot, after the big knife fight. I've given her a lovely voice - my big, bright, resonant one - which I realize I haven't used for a female character yet in this series (have I?). Thinking about it, she's really my only female character who's not constrained in any way. So it makes sense. Anyhow, I was so relieved, that when I got to the end of the scene, I announced loudly to Sue & David (in the recording booth on the other side of the glass): quot;Oh, thank god: Jessica's here, and she'll take care of everything!"
I do that sometimes. In the earlier section, when Theron keeps thinking what a Bright Idea it is to get married, I kept muttering, "Oh, Theron. You are soooo fucked."
I hope they think it's amusing.
No more recording again til Sunday, schedules being what they are. I'm giving myself the night off to be really tired, and then tomorrow I go back to trying to finish my fencing story.
* Was going to title this post: Theron Campion is Bugfuck Crazy
but I didn't think it would look Nice.
