@molly0xfff What every newspaper does.
However, it's a oneway street. You can get your word out, but #POSSE does not scale to interaction with other users.

@molly0xfff I appreciate the audio here
I know it takes extra time and effort. It’s a refreshing break from my regular TTS computer voice.

@molly0xfff the audio quality is fantastic, do you mind sharing your recording setup? I’d love to be able to record audio that crisp

@simon i record with a Shure MV7, which does most of the heavy lifting as far as audio quality. then i edit with audacity to remove outtakes/heavy breathing

@molly0xfff This technique is really not simple at all.

@molly0xfff @dngrs I tried explaining this to the Promotion and Publicity Committee of my local council back in 2017 when I was a member. I don’t think they got it.
