It's mostly done! #voiceacting

To do: get some sort of hook to hang my headphones, and set up a smaller chair that better fits the small space.

I may also pick up some sort of metal brace to help keep the structure intact.
A photo of my recording booth. The walls are plush, with a pleasing earth-tone paisley pattern. There is a small black desk at the back of the booth. A microphone and pop filter stick out via a metal arm on the right, with a small interface and monitoring headphones on the left. A tablet, a computer monitor, a keyboard and mouse,are set up as well. On the tablet screen a copy of Audacity is open, showing a recording in waveform and spectrograph view. On the monitor, some text is displayed. On zooming in, it appears to be the contents of The Raven, by Edgar Allen Poe.

Problem solved.
The microphone gooseneck with the mount of the pop filter jury rigged onto the thing.

Hey #voiceactors, I have a conundrum. I'm setting up my new booth, got a new mic arm, but my pop filter doesn't have a place to attach to reliably.

I am attached to my pop filter, and this is a nice arm. So ideally what I need is something to connect the two. Suggestions?

You've just reinvented the Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa!
A cartoon of three cow boys standing next to each other, with the sun at their backs. They're anthropomorphic cows, dressed like cowboys. Get it? Cow boys? It's a pun!

It's happening!!
A preview of the inside of my new recording booth. Three wood-frame panels, with fabric walls, are hinged together, forming three sides to a rectangular closet. The top half of the space has a nice earth-tones paisley pattern, the bottom half is a solid light beige.

I am not familiar with this version of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Bullshit.
Xitter post saying: "Next year, AIs will have memory through continual learning. This means they can have experiences, trauma, and fractional consciousness. AIs will deserve rights. AIs should be able to own assets, run a corporation and vote in elections by 2030 IMO"

Oscar Isaac as Poe Damaran, standing in front of a crowd in the jungle, in a scene from the movie "Rise of Skywalker". His arms are crossed. He looks annoyed. The image has been captioned with '"Somehow, Santa returned."

Somehow, Santa returned.
Oscar Isaac as Poe Damaran, standing in front of a crowd in the jungle, in a scene from the movie "Rise of Skywalker". His arms are crossed. He looks annoyed. He's about to say "Somehow, Palpatine returned," which is just a really awful terrible piece of dialogue, honestly. I like to imagine Isaac recognized it and channeled his annoyance with the bad script into his character.

Wait a second, what kind of cookies did I buy?
A package of Pepperidge Farm Holiday Nog cookies. The image on the packaging is modified so that the cookie has an imprint of the character Nog, from Star Trek Deep Space Nine, instead of... whatever it had before.

Sometimes I wonder where we went astray.

Sometimes I don't.

Took a trip to the store for more MDF. And some other stuff too. I wasn't originally planning to use plastic, when the plan was to put the MDF on first, then the insulation, then the cloth. The paper backing on the insulation would face the cloth, keeping the fiberglass inside. But...
Inside of a wooden flat, with cloth stretched across the backside. Plastic sheeting has been stretched across, under the plastic.

It's coming together! This is the interior of the first flat. I still need to put insulation inside, and then attach the outside panel. Currently working on the second flat.
A wooden frame with fabric fixed across. The fabric on the bottom is beige, on the top is a paisley pattern.

It's a picture of the new pope. He's holding a microphone with both hands, and it looks like he's singing karaoke, innit?
