ROBOT TAKEOVER! HOW THE HECK DID THIS HAPPEN?
You can't let your guard down these days! I nodded off while trying to record the commentary for this all-new episode...and AI stepped in to "help!" After I listened to it a couple of times, I thought, "hey, why not? This gets me off the hook!"
Thus, virtual hosts Mars Mansteak and Sally....Loofbar? Something like that! Their witty banter surprised me, and they do a decent enough job deejaying a brisk bouquet of 20 bracin' boppers! They have a certain chemistry. I wonder where they went when the show was over?
NOTE: Our current hostsite, Mega, has been experiencing horrendous playback issues, so we've switched hosts and we hope this helps. Link below is updated and should work. Please let us know if it works for you, wouldya? Thanks!

This was... interesting.
ReplyDeleteCan you explain more? Did you write this, and have it transferred text-to-speech? Or did you have a couple chatbots exchange dialog, truly reading to one another?
I wrote all their dialogue and had it converted to voices. Just something different and, I hope, amusing. It's more work-intensive than doing my own narration, but it's gotten more hits than any episode in the last year, so my gambit worked. I cracked myself up during the dialog process: the two characters wrote themselves!
ReplyDeleteHello Frank, Thanks for your comments regarding the Billy LaMont recording. This is my first visit to your splendid blog (and may I add not my last). There's certainly some great gems here well worth listening too. Regards from fellow music blogger Bob.
