B-T Youtube - LN Audio Recordings

Baka-Tsuki now has a Youtube channel for the purpose of airing audio recordings of translated LNs:

Registration Page

As of yet there is only one video, the first chapter of Bakemonogatari. I will be uploading more in the near future, in the hopes that by the time I reach the untranslated parts I will have created enough interest in the series that there will be people working on them.

There are currently two people who have the password to this account - myself and the Editor-in-Chief. I presume it is going to be sent out to the mods and I am happy to give it to anyone willing to get involved in the project as well.

Anyone who wishes to upload their own audio recordings of LNs is more than welcome to do so. Make sure that your video does not breach any of the rules of Baka-Tsuki, so no copyrighted music, images etc. Fanart and creative commons music is fine, just so long everything is properly sourced and credited. Personally I am just using the scans from the LNs found with the transcripts.

The other condition is that you must vocally and visually mention at the beginning of all your voice recordings: "Baka-Tsuki.org", "translated and collaborated script", "Light Novel Fan Translation Community" and "belong to their respective copyright holders in their respective countries." as well as a http link to the wiki script and associated forum. You may use my title card or create your own. Please also link your recording onto the related Baka-Tsuki wiki project page and on this forum topic.

I look forward to working on this project with everyone!

I look forward to seeing more readings.

Anyone who wish to contribute, please send the audio in .mp3 format to eroragi and myself.

Please send your readings to: bakatsukiaudio (at) gmail (dot) com.

This has promise. One thing I would suggest is to double and triple check how to pronounce names and locations.

Eroragi might do some more audio, but if we can get more people to join, that'll be better! :)

Please don't be afraid to have a go and send it my way. *hint*pudding321*hint* 8)

Great idea, I look forward to the results. Also I would be willing to lend my voice to this project as well.

A question though. Why use youtube in the first place? Wouldn't an audio focused platform like Sound Cloud be better for the project in the long run?

....Because someone made the Youtube Channel first? :lol:

I'm not familiar with soundcloud, but you are welcome to make a soundcloud Baka-Tsuki.org channel and upload your recording there. (With the same requirements as the Youtube audio clips)

Just send me the link to the channel and i'll update the wiki and everything else! :wink:

Can you give me the name of the novel series, chapter and the links to the script on the wiki.

They will be added to the youtube video: about section.

oh, anyone got a suggestion for a free video editing program? Need to put that place card eroragi made into it....
