I'm sorry for the delay for this chapter! I'm currently out of town visiting family, so finding time to edit/upload is a little tricky - the next couple of chapters might be delayed as well, but I'll try to make up for it when I get back!

There's a slight recording mistake at the beginning of this episode, but I didn't want to wait until I got home next week to do the pickup and fix it. Hopefully it won't bother anyone too much in the meantime!

Okay, that was the worst kept promise I've ever made, I'm sorry! This week has been SOOOO much busier than I expected. But I have a couple hours free this afternoon, I'll try to catch up with chapters as soon as I can!

Thanks for listening!

Chapter 15 of The Reaction, part 12 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series.

I will freely admit, I am TERRIBLE at mimicking real people's voices. Since Jeremy Jason McCole was inspired by real-life actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas, I tried to use the latter's role in Smallville's "Dichotic" as a reference here, but I don't think it really came out well, sorry. Ah, well.

Chapter 16 of The Reaction, part 12 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series.

You know, I think I've figured it out. Why I've been so tired and finding it hard to make myself edit chapters lately. Not only am I recovering from seeing extended family (which always wears on me), but I've also been listening to Michael Grant's Gone series. Despite the fact that it's marketed only a couple of years older than Animorphs, his writing is MUCH darker in that one, and I didn't realize how draining it was until I had to just suddenly stop listening to it on the way home from work today. It's very violent and disturbing for a kids series. I'm guessing it was Katherine Applegate who made Animorphs so light-hearted at times. (Thank goodness book 12 is one of those lighter books! Or I would definitely need a short break.)

Anyway, I'm still going to keep trying to upload a chapter every two days, even if it takes me until the end of the day to do it instead of the start of the day. Good news is, even if I fall behind schedule for this one, I'll have no trouble catching up with the next one (The Andalite Chronicles) because I've already got the first several chapters completely ready to go! (I recorded them early for a friend.)

Alright, with the upload of this episode, we're back on the original release timeline that I've been following all year! I think I'll be able to continue on this schedule for both the rest of this book and the next, but next spring is probably going to be busy, so we'll have to see what spare time I have for that one.

This chapter and the next are both pretty short, so you get two chapters today! Merry Christmas!

I do feel like I need to work on my screams and yells...they don't feel very realistic to me anymore. I admit, it is tricky to get the proper volume without accidentally causing distortion, and without feeling like I'll disturb someone else in the house with a sudden yell. I'll keep working on it for future books, but I'd love feedback on the ones I've done so far!

Chapter 1 of The Andalite Chronicles, part 12.5 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series.

I've already got the first chapters completely ready to go, so I can tell you that editing this audiobook definitely takes more effort than previous books! It's because of the extra time needed for the thought-speak dialogue. Each line not only needs the normal amount of editing to ensure correct spacing between phrases and removal of extraneous mouth noises, but then I also do an extra level of noise removal between each line of dialogue to remove all breath sounds (given that it's telepathy I thought that made sense), then I have to apply the effect, then listen to it one more time to make sure it all sounds good. It's not usually a big deal with most books because the thought-speak is much lesser in proportion, but this time it's definitely going to make an impact!
