Spring Break Plans
Wooooooooooooot!
Kicking off with an early ending to US History because of a test (the essay portion got me this time...bleh...), I'm now off for the rest of tonight, the weekend, all week next week, and another weekend....and then two weeks of school left. Finals are around the corner...dun, dun dun....
But, all that means is that I can focus my attention on some priorities such as...

And, don't forget, tonight is Ravenwood Radio Episode 37, at 8:30 PM Central! I'll be there in the chatroom with Cassandra Dragonheart at around 8 PM Central so that you can shoot us any pre-show questions and mingle with other Live Listeners!
Hopefully, with Steve's permission, we can give away some of the Petnome Project's vaulted Summer Dragons for correctly answered Trivia questions. See you there!

Transcription: Ravenwood Radio Episode 35 - Legen-dary!
Feel free to leave any constructive criticism or comments on these transcriptions! (i.e. Hard to read in that font? Need more spacing between lines? Require color coordination between speakers? etc.) The more feedback, the better for all readers!
**Also, I am in search for anyone who would like to help me transcribe Christina Icedreamer's segments whenever there isn't a script used -- in fact, this episode has one of those "wing it" segments.
Thanks!

P.S. Trying for those new hybrids are darn tedious!!!! Good luck in your attempt for those!

Transcription: Ravenwood Radio Episode 33 (and Behind-The-Scenes peek)
Hey Wizards!
I'm really, really liking transcription a lot. It's very interesting (and sometimes educational) to me to dive deep and get to know the speaker's personality on a deeper level. For one, transcribing is more than just textually recording some audio; it's also a form of interpretation.
Processing the shows into text form has also given me some form of creative criticism that I can share with the speakers. For example, when it becomes harder to interpret or follow someone's sentence that becomes a run-on or lost thought, and the more adjustments I have to make when transcribing to ensure that logic or communication still follows, the more pointers I'll have for them. In addition, there's a little critical thinking going on: "is it necessary to keep the "uhs" or "uhms" to preserve the humorous tone induced by those pauses?" In other words, will readers enjoy this, and get to understand Steve's/Leesha's/Fallon's personalities or characters? I certainly have to be careful to not make them sound too literal and cardboard-like, but that's the fun part!
I was actually looking over a few at-home side jobs within this field, but it turns out it's a lot more complicated than I thought. You have to pay attention to punctuation, understand the speakers' professional lingo (medical, legal, recreational, etc.), use the correct words ("night" vs. "knight"), and be grammatically correct. Also, the audio files won't always be as clear as Ravenwood Radio's podcasts; the sound in the test I received was shifted all to one side of my headset, indicating that the recorder was sitting on the side of the room instead of the center. Then, listening to the speaker, and trying to omit as much stuttering or "um"-ing and "uh"-ing without taking too much tone or personality away is another challenge. Professionally, it's not for me...but if you're an English major, have a high interest in typing, and are looking for some dough, I recommend looking into this!
