Toying with Ideas Here

Hola, my friends. I've been wrestling with an idea for the story of Arranged to Be for a week or so that has halted my production. It all started with an imagined conversation between two faceless characters that bloomed into a plot line. I wasn't sure I wanted the story to sway this way, but after several days it seems like it's just the way I'm supposed to go. Call it an intuitive feeling. But anyways, now I've got several things to incorporate, but thankfully a solid ending in mind.

I've also been playing with the idea of trying voiceovers. I was watching Decorgal's "Adventures in Life and Dating" series and I really love the atmosphere she created and all that's possible with voiceovers. But then I sat and thought about all the characters I would need. Unfortunately most of them are male. Actually probably more than half. I'm not sure I could find the voices I needed or that fit for those characters. But I'm sure I could be proved wrong! Who knows. I've also toyed with a need for a female singing voice that can play the piano. I had originally planned on using music from singers like Molly Jenson, but I think if I could find a youtuber who could sing well, I'd much rather do that because I think it would be incredibly cool. But I'm just thinking here...

Speaking of music, Paste Magazine might have to go out of business and so they are trying to raise money through donations. If you donate to the mag (any amount), you get access to 100's of rare tracks. Totally worth it. There are some incredible songs that I'm sure will show up in future work of mine.

Anyways, thanks for the interest in the new series as well as the great comments I still recieve about Just One. I'm truly blessed by the connection others have. I'm also enjoying being on twitter and see how easily it is to become addicted! http://www.twitter.com/kitsparrow27

I can sing, but can't play the piano. And I can't really record my voice either. Wait...actually I think I can but I don't know, just an idea.
The thing with voiceovers is some of your viewers might think the charachters have the "wrong" voice, and that might upset them.
But I'm not here to make your decisions for you, do what you want.

Hi kit! I would love to sing for your series... But I can't play piano... Maybe I could send you a vid, or post one on youtube? But, I can't record my voice... I'm sure I could figure it out though... I like the idea..

Please, don't do voiceovers...
Many people do not have quality mic,
and that ruins the whole series.
Plus, we would have to wait longer for a new ep. ;)
The Arranged To Be is now, just... perfect.

I love your series and I think it would be a cool idea for you to do voice overs. I know you could find enough people, you have tons of subscribers. It would probably be alot more work... so you should think about it. Your videos are awesome!
