With Chapter 3 Part 2 being ALREADY above 40 images, I'm writing down ideas for future Chapters and developments.

The experiment today is with "VOICED NARRATION".

I'd like you all to let me know what you think of this style of narration, with less "speech balloons" (which are still awesome for the comic's sake, just take me forever to prepare), but a voice to tell the story instead.

This was a SUPER QUICK example of course, and I used only a small fraction of what I actually produced for the massive Patreon product with hundreds of images and immersive audio, but I've been thinking about this for a while and it DOES speed up production.

Do let me know which style you favor, keeping in mind this example here would lead to a more "Audiostory" style rather than a "Comic".

Happy Holidays! ^_^

For the most part I really like the narration. The AI British voice is acceptable and almost always. There were a few moments where some heightened tension or inflection would’ve been better. At 0:36 when the voice talks about the foot pervert it was so quick and clipped that you couldn’t tell if this is supposed to be humorous or distain for the character. At 3:14 If the voice could have reflected more humor that would’ve made the sentence about having a girlfriend like that just a little more enticing. The pacing was good for a trailer or a recap but if you wanted to try to do this for a full on project I think it needs to slow down A lot in order to give the watcher time to read the dialog boxes and appreciate The images you’ve worked so hard to create.

Thanks for your opinion, this was all an experiment (or a PRE experiment since it's not really a story but a short recap/trailer), I think the actual "narrated new story" could have a better result.. the flaw in my opinion is that the voice (a computerized "human like" voice) simply lacks the nuances that would be otherwise easy to understand, like when you couldn't tell if it was being humorous or what. I'll test it again in a smaller side story (not sure yet if related to The App) and work on making it more expressive and easy to "get".. These voices unfortunately are supposed to sound "professional" so the whole informal/friendly factor is often entirely skipped. I do like the British "Lara Croft" like voice.. perhaps I should include her in my story. :P
