Hrim on Dreaming Soundbite

15 years ago, I read my first book aloud – as an adult to another adult. We were traveling from Cincinnati to Florida for the winter art shows. We took up reading aloud as a form of entertainment. Tom Robbins’ Skinny Legs and All was the perfect book to send us off on our trek in a 350 Chevy van stocked with paintings, towing a 21 foot camper. I still remember how the retirees would come out to watch me park the rig. They didn’t think I could do it. I was surprisingly good at maneuvering that thing into place on the first try. There’s a traveling theme including an elephant in Gold Lame’. Some of it takes place on the back of a telepathic elephant. When writing “a deep, booming male voice” for Hrim (pronounced Hreem) I wasn’t expecting to record it into an audiobook. The Audacity software offers a good opportunity to modify sound. Have a one-minute listen to Hrim discussing Dreams with Amelia.
