Oh my! This was bone-chilling, Hugh. What a haunting plea for help. Very good. 😮
Thanks again, Vashti. I need to take some more acting lessons to really get those feelings over in the stories I am reading. This one is the second of three. I hope you get to hear the third one as it’s where I really applied some of those acting lessons. 😀
Reblogged this on Viv Drewa – The Owl Lady.
A very chilling plea,, Hugh,
I am enjoying your audio stories. Can we have some more please? 🙂
Thanks, Judy. I’m still experimenting with them, but a lot of you seem to be enjoying them. I’m pleased to hear it.
Yes, it adds another dimension to the story altogether!
I’m taking acting lessons for the next one, Judy. 😱
Ha! Well you are too nice (as Geoff said) to be all mean and scary, Hugh, but saying that, it was very chilling,
Love the accent…so spooky
Thanks very much, Pamela. I’m going to have to take a look at doing some acting lessons. 😀
Excellent Hugh, I am on my way now just getting my hat and coat!! 🙂 ❤ hang on please!!
Bring some Jammy Dodgers, Willow. I’ll keep the flames burning for as long as I can. 😀
Do you know Hugh I must be psychic but I just bought a pack of said Jammy Dodgers with me !! 🙂
Brilliant. We need them on this planet. 😀
😋 and now that I have saved you what are we going to do about them!!
I think we need to start by putting on the kettle. ☕️
Excellent and we can have some Jammy Dodgers!Or perhaps a doughnut 🍩 I do have a couple of ideas up my sleeve!!
I feel weird lol!
What? Did I really have that effect on you? 😳 Oh. lord.
Good weird – your voice is v good – you should do audio books. There was this desperation to your voice (urging them to come back) and it made me feel weird lol! You must have done acting!
Thanks, Lucy. The only acting I’ve ever done was as ‘The Mad Hatter’ in a school play. 😀 And that was a very long time ago. 😂
I know you’ve done some audio, so I’ll be asking for some tips from you when I next see you.
😂 Roxy after a few G&Ts!
A flame-filled SOS…well done.
Thanks, Van. I’m having fun with all of this.
I’ll save you Hugh… don’t worry, all will be fine… unless that flame consumes me that is. LOL!!! This is a riot! What a great idea, love the audio – never tried this !
Thanks, Marje. The idea came to me last week. I may try some more like this. We’ll see. I need to take some acting lessons first. 😀
Brilliant! Very Twilight Zone and Outer Limits. I was mesmerized!
More please! ♡♡☆☆
Thank you, Deborah. Audio recordings embedded in blog posts is something I’m going to investigate more of.
interesting take Hugh; if I may I’d suggest you need a bit more desperation in your tone given the context – the essential nice Welsh chap still shines through rather. But the script is chilling; you’ve nailed that..
I certainly need some acting lessons, Geoff. 😀 I’m not working to a script. If I did, I’d up stuttering or getting the words mixed up 😀 I just sit down, press record, and let it all come out. This is all very experimental at the moment, but we’ll see where it goes.
You are ceratinly bringing an extra dimension to this challenge, Hugh!
Thanks, Sue. Had to be persuaded to another recording. And then there’s keeping everything quiet while I speak.
I’d never manage that here with Ani 🙂
Great story Hugh! I hope they came back!
Hugh, a good tip post for you to do… how to include the soundbyte on a post!
Thanks, Ritu. Some people haven’t been able to play the messages. I’ve been using Quicktime Player on my computer to do the recordings, but I think I need to look into recording audio more closely. Great idea, though. I know you’ve done it before as well.
I used Sound cloud… but I l8je the streamlined look of your audio!are you recording on a Mac? 😙
Yes, on a Mac. I looked at SoundCloud but can only see ‘music’ on it. I’m guessing I have to create an account to be able to record anything on it?
You can record once you have an account yes. It’s free up to a certain amount of storage. I use my phone and the sound cloud app to record but if you have the headphones and mic setup on a desktop you can record that way too xx
Great, thanks, Ritu. One last question – do you know if posts with audio in them that have been recorded on SoundCloud are easy to be reblogged? Sue said she’s not able to find a way to reblog my post that includes the audio recording.
Hmmm mm. I’m not sure… I don’t know if anyone every reblogged any of mine… did you reblog the we are blogily recording at all?
No, I’ve never tried reblogging a post with audio in it. I’m going to have to look into it. For now, I think the only way is by using ‘Press This’. Thanks, Ritu.
xx
😙😙😙 no worries it’s all trial and error here isn’t it!!!
I wish I thought someone/something was listening.
Huge Hugs Hugh
Who knows, David? It’s something I’ve often thought about. Hopefully, they/it can save us in my lifetime. Meanwhile, I’ve no idea where this story is going. 😀
Hugs to you.
