And it's for my best friend who I've known since 8th grade and I jsut love her so much. Well she's a writer and finally started posting some of her stuff online and I'm super proud of her and I know this book is really going to be great bc well I've read the first draft and the new experiemental draft and she's told me all about the book and I'm super super excited for it. You guys should totaly read it here: NexusShe only has the first chapter up right now and It isn't very long but it's really good. Another thing she wants to do with it is she wants to do with this story that we've talked about is turn it into a podcast with voice actors and such, so what I'm doing for her is I recorded myself reading aloud the whole first chapter! I'm editing it right now. But I wanted some opinions. Should I add some sound effects tot he story? Like the sound of rain when it rains and the paper crunching sound? Or would that be too corny?

Ahhh a read-aloud podcast of it would be amazing! (I'm a huge fan of literary podcasts like that, esp. Selected Shorts!)
TBH I don't think you'd necessarily even need the sound effects. I find if something reads like a play, sound effects really enhance it, but when it's written just as a standard story/chapter sometimes the sounds are distracting from what's going on/being said? Just my two cents though ^.^

Okay thanks! And yeah she's really excited about turing it into a whole thing with like art contest and voice actors and stuff. It'll be really cool and I can't wait! Which is why i wanted to record this and show her how her writing sounded out loud and TRY and do different voices for each of the characters.... but I'm really bad at doing voices.... I might have my gf do the female voices jsut for effect.
