No! No matter what the book, the narrator’s work is to be a medium between the author’s intention and the listener. Do you think different genres of audiobooks require a different type of narration? Performing a wide variety of characters in a project can definitely be fatiguing, but it’s tons of fun. If it’s a business or self-help book, that narrator is still a character – a person with a unique and specific perspective. The narrator is also a character in the book. I love performing characters, but the narrator of a book – whether they’re reading a piece of literary or genre fiction or a work of non-fiction – also has a distinct sound, point of view, pacing, tone. What type of audiobook read is your favorite to do? Narrator? Character voices? Coordinating with other actors is usually about keeping continuity of pronunciations, and checking in about character voice choices, as well. You have to keep clips of character voices and refer back to them to ensure that they’re consistent throughout a book or even a series. Voicing dozens, or even over a hundred different characters, demands not only acting skill, but careful organization and thoughtful choices. What is it like to voice multiple characters? What is it like to work with multiple voice actors on the same book? Most of my narrations are solo voiced, fully-characterized narrations, but I’ve done a wide variety of work, from multicast to full cast work, too. What type of voice over narration do you usually do (solo narration, duet narration, multi-cast, or full-cast)? Lastly, a full-cast production is like an audio drama, with individual actors performing various roles. Multicast is a distinction that could describe, for example, a book written in four distinct points of view, with four actors performing each individual character. At times, they’ll act out a large cast of every gender, race, and geographic origin imaginable, which is still referred to as solo narration.Ī duet-narration is when two actors cut in every line of dialogue in the scene, like an audio play. Gilbert: A handful of narrators I know don’t vary their voices at all (known as solo narration), but, by and large, successful audiobook voice actors are differentiating each character with their voices.

I use bacon lardons in my cooking most of the time as I like the size of the chunks, and I find if you fry them in a dry pan until crispy and delicious they are heavenly. You can replace it with something else such as tomatoes, or even some mushrooms if you fancied – but again, these are optional. I will start by saying that bacon is optional in this recipe… if you are vegetarian, or just don’t like or want to use the bacon, you can 100% leave it out. However, the per-grated parmesan is absolutely fine to use. I also find that cheese is in pieces that are too large compared to grating it yourself. I tend to grate the cheddar cheese myself as I find if you buy pre-grated cheese, it has something on the cheese to make it stop sticking and I am not a fan. I use a mix of mainly mature cheddar cheese, and parmesan in the homemade cheese sauce, and then I use extra mature cheddar cheese on the top. I do prefer mature cheeses, but that is my choice. When it comes to something cheese themed, I want to add as much as possible. You can serve it lightly with salad, or make it a hearty dish with some roasties and veg, it’s completely up to you, just like with this one. I have a few savoury bakes that are more lunch like, but this can also be a lunch as well if you fancy. Last time I posted my chicken, leek & bacon pie and oh wow… you all LOVED it! It’s an easy and delicious dinner idea, that can be quite versatile. You guys have asked over and over, and when I share anything I cook on social media it gets such a good reaction… so here is another beauty macaroni cheese. I absolutely adore cooking, and I thought it was high time I start posting some savoury bits and bobs on my blog. There is just something about macaroni cheese… I have always adored it, but how can I not?! Pasta, cheese, bacon, a crispy top and a cheesy sauce… it’s heaven in every bite in my eyes! Dinner ideas Please see my disclosure for more details!* A deliciously cheesy macaroni cheese with homemade cheese sauce, crispy bacon and a breadcrumb topping… a homemade dinner idea that is easy and heavenly! The ending of the third titan fight is the most over the top shit I've seen in the series. On the upside, the titan fights are jank, but super flashy. Really makes me wonder if the budget just ran out or something Said final threat even gets a boss intro like every other major fight in the game, but then just goes to the QTE. It's just so hilariously abrupt compared to the build up. Sage sacrifices herself, monster neutralized, day is saved, eggman is super depressed about sage Super Sonic flies into space alongside Sage (who commandeers the last titan) for what looks to be a final boss fight. The story repeatedly signposts that beating the titans is going to lead to some catastrophic event, which turns out to be the thing that killed the Koko back in the day being freed and wanting to drag everything into cyberspace. So you fight the fourth titan, and it isn't really too different from the other titan fights in terms of scale and such. The ending sequence is anticlimactic as all hell, y'all They all got bodied and died lol The titans you fight in game are corrupted versions of them, and they were originally designed to protect the Koko The titans are 100% Divine Beast Rip offs Four Koko were chosen to pilot them to stop a giant monster. Got namedropped by Amy in the ending alongside Cream Sticks 100% is mainline canon now, I guess. There's a flashback cutscene of them escaping their home planet in ships I could be wrong, but it looks like the Koco were Chaos-esque aliens (ancestors, maybe?) that basically had to leave and destroy their home planet, and followed the Chaos Emeralds to Earth, as the emeralds were drawn there because of the presence of the Master Emerald. A lot of the ancient Koko stuff is shown via flashbacks shown to Sonic, Both Sonic and Knuckles note the similarity to Tikal's visions from Adventure 1 Similar to how the IDW comics handle it, really (Down to actual flashback images) A lot of conintuity nods the events of S3&K, Adventure 2, Heroes, Lost World and especially Adventure 1 get mentioned every now and then. If we divide the games by the predominant gameplay style featured within them, this is where each generation begins: G1 - Sonic 1. While I can get where they’re coming from, I disagree. I just really really REALLY hope they don’t pull a Lost World again. Sega claims that Sonic Frontiers is the start of the series’ third generation of games, with Gen. Some great character interactions Tails' character regression post Adventure 1/2 is explicitly addressed and somewhat resolved So instead of having to reinvent the wheel for the next Sonic game, they just got to polish on Frontiers’ framework: have a livelier open world/hub, create unique stages, add in a couple additional playable characters (yes I know I’m describing Sonic Adventure, shut up).

I waited almost 1/2 hour and it was still at 0%. However, it acted like it was working, but then froze again at the 0% complete. It then siad that it was already downloaded but then wanted me to hit the button to install it - which I did. I again hit the button to downlod/install it. I clicked on the Spore icon again and the same Patch box came up. I actually had to hit the power button on the computer to get it unstuck. I clicked Yes and the patch downloaded, but when I tried to install it, my computer froze. Second, the patch screen popped up and recommended I install the patch. So, my first question is: How and which drivers do I update? But, now I have two new issues:įirst, when Spore first began to open, it flashed a box stating that I have older drivers that I should update however, it let me continue on and did not tell me how to do this, nor did it shut me down and say I couldn't continue. Even though I did initially disable the firewalls and it still didn't work, I forgot to disable them again after I opened the ports. Thank you so much for your advice!!! Closing the firewalls worked. Gabriel Storm says: Try looking in the Games folder. Gabriel Storm says: You could have just used the deviced manager in XP to do that. Gabriel Storm says: Make sure the game is okay'd to get past the firewall. Gabriel Storm says: As long as that computer meets the requirements that Spore requires, it should run with little or no problems I spent $80 between the game and the portforward program, and my son still can't play it. There is no icon, nor any program on my computer, for Spore. I spent $30 to get this portforwarding thing, entered the ports, updated the router, yet still I keep getting the same message.Īlthough we bought a new computer just so my son could have our old one for this game, I did try to install on my new PC that runs Vista. I called a few days later and spoke to another tech who told me that it was a port issue with my router and told me to go to to get it fixed (he emailed me the ports that Spore needs). Unfortunately, he just sent me a link to support and although I did see the Patches page, I could not find a single patch that said it was for Spore. He said that he would email me the patch and I could just click on it and it would install. The first time I was told that there is a patch that would fix it. Of course, my computer is online, so I can't figure out what is wrong. Please ensure that your computer is online and try again." It appeared to install fine however when we click on the Spore icon, I get this message "The game needs access to the internet in order to verify ownership of this game. I installed it on a PC that runs Windows XP. I purchased the Spore DVD new a few weeks ago for my son and he has been unable to play it. James Avery Artisan Jewelers remains a privately held, family-owned business. Together, they donated $1 million in 2016 to an education endowment for the recently opened Confluence Park. Survivors include Avery’s wife, former San Antonio River Foundation Executive Director Estela Avery who announced her retirement one year ago. Related: Estela Avery’s $750K Gift to Fund Confluence Park Classroom His passion for design, craftsmanship and his artistic vision will continue to be a source of inspiration for many years to come.”Īvery retired from the business in 2007 but continued to pursue his passion of designing jewelry and serving as chairman emeritus on the board of directors. The first James Avery store opened in North Dallas in 1973.Ī statement from the company upon James Avery’s passing said that he “designed with purpose and meaning with the hopes of creating a piece of jewelry that would have a lasting and timeless connection for the wearer. The nuances in his crosses over the years is pretty remarkable … Before he was a commercial success, he was very much putting together and creating things that spoke of his life of faith.”Īvery hired his first employee in 1957, mailed out the first jewelry catalog – 16 pages featuring 39 handmade items – that same year, and began an artistic legacy of craftsmanship that would gain a devoted following and national recognition. He turned often to his faith, and his jewelry expresses it. “He was very successful, but he also experienced, like anyone who lives long enough, pain and disappointment. “His artistry was his ministry,” Reed said. Reed later received a custom James Avery cross to wear with his priest vestments and a ring when he was named bishop. By that time, he already owned a James Avery cross ring and silver bookmark gifted to him, as many of the Episcopal women’s church groups sold the jewelry to raise money for charity work. Ideas, plenty of hard work, and prayers – not necessarily in that order – were the rule of each day.”Īvery’s first big break came when his mother-in-law began selling the items he designed at a local summer youth camp where she worked.ĭavid Reed, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas, first met Avery when the jeweler’s sons attended one of those camps and Reed worked as a camp counselor. He once said, “I worked alone for three years. It was during a visit to Kerrville in 1954 that Avery decided to launch the namesake business. Later, while teaching at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Avery learned jewelry-making techniques from a library book, eventually crafting cross pendants at students’ request. After the war, he earned a degree in industrial design from the University of Illinois. He commanded a B-26 bomber during World War II, surviving 44 missions over Germany. Air Corps and was stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. You definitely knew when he came in the building.”īorn in 1921 in Milwaukee, Avery served in the U.S. He was one of those larger-than-life kind of people. “And each one of us had a different skill set he would use to create the variety of designs you have now. “Jim was very inspirational, but he had a vision of where he was going and what he wanted to do artistically, and he used us to make those things become a reality,” he said. One 20-year employee, who asked not to be named for this story, described Avery as a force of nature. The company currently employs 3,500 people and operates five manufacturing plants and 80 stores throughout Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.

I played an April Fool’s day joke on my parkour team this morning. The options for Wordle April Fools pranks were endless. Keanu Reeves lost all the April Fools' jokes. The fact that it is not related to April Fools is something that might disappoint fans as well, considering that players are always looking forward to these small easter eggs. The New York Times could have played a legendary trick on its millions of players, but they didn’t. The word for today is SNOUT, which is again a slightly hard word that an average player might not be able to guess that easily. Fans are wondering whether Wordle will be celebrating that as well, and the answer to that is no. Today is the 1st of April, and many games out there are organizing various events to celebrate April Fools. Here's if Today's Wordle #286 Word is April Fools Day Related Considering the fact that one of the words recently was EPOXY, this reservation is justified to a large extent. Along with that, many users reported that the words have become significantly harder in the past few days. Quite notably, the archive was discontinued, which is something that didn't go down well with the fanbase. Soon after that, it was acquired by NY Times, and since then the game has undergone a few changes. Based on a simple concept, the word guessing game is a more accessible version of the regular crossword, and it has become an overnight sensation.
