hi guys so this is a I don't know if I want to call it a series but I don't think it could hurt to do that this is basically intended to be kind of like a new series or a new thing for my subreddit to help kind of liven it up even more so I'm not sure what the title will be as of right now but I think something to the effect of pillow talking with whispers works so you know basically I intend to talk about very simple things that people normally wouldn't really think much about or things that are very light-hearted in tone and just kind of rolling with it and sharing my thoughts and feelings on it maybe sharing some personal stories as well depending on the topic and if it's not too personally identifying so yeah um feel free to get cuddled up if you want to lay down and listen to this to help you sleep or feel free to get just comfortable and you know if you're listening to this to help you be like productive with working or whatever you're doing enjoy you know just enjoy my voice all up in your ears yay so today I wanted to talk about recording audios in general because it is a thing that is very like a lot of people probably don't really take the time to consider it like from the listener side just how weird it can sometimes feel to record audios erotic or not from the recorder side recorder side performer side same recorder makes me feel like I'm like an instrument like I sound like that plastic children's instrument oh god oh that would be a journey anyway um so I remember the very first time that I made an audio which fun fact the very first audio I ever made actually was the tender first time audio that was f4f or female for female for those not aware of what that means because I'm sure maybe there's some people that haven't really noticed what the tagging stuff's all about so yeah um my very first audio was actually an f4f um audio and in it I take I don't know I don't want to word it like that because there's no penetrative activities in it but I share the listeners first time with them basically so I take the listeners first time and experience it with them so I remember when I made it um I felt so awkward at first because like I you know there I was huddled up believe it or not in my bathroom if you can believe it with my laptop and my little derpy hello kitty karaoke machine microphone hooked up to my computer just holding that in my hand and ball with the other hand I'm just like fondling my body the way that I described in the audio with each part god I sat there and was grinning like an idiot the whole time like what the fuck am I doing why am I doing this you know it felt so stupid to sit there with this mic in my hand just going uh-huh you know this is gonna be great I'm sure it's gonna get someone off and there I am just sitting there like touching different parts of me just trying to make this scenario feel a little more real and you know I felt really stupid when I was recording it like I felt happy with what I was making and essentially my intent with that audio was to make something kind of almost reflecting what my ideal first time with another girl would be like oddly enough but in the end I was you know sitting there after I hit the stop button after I was done I sat there thinking what the hell did I just do like I was listening I guess okay so what led to me recording it was earlier in the night I'd been listening to erotic recordings on literatica actually because that's where I used to listen to audio porn at before I discovered GWA and I thought that sounds like an easy thing to do I was so nervous it took like three takes before I was rolling with a take that I liked because either I was shaking too much or I was just really nervous that it wasn't gonna come out that good but I'm very happy with the end result when I listened back to it for the first time to check it for any errors or any fumbles or stumbles I realized that I had created a very emotionally in-depth audio although there's not a super lot of emotional description in that audio like there is some emotions in there and it really adds to the audio compared to if it were just to be sex like I did add a little bit of feeling to it but you know the mic quality looking back on it you know at the time I thought this is passable listening back to it it's like it's passable to a degree but I mean I didn't realize at the time that recording with my phone was even an option or you know even using my higher quality mic was an option I didn't realize I could do either one of those and make my audio sound like really nice but yeah I got started with awkward body touching and a hello kitty mic I didn't get myself off in that audio but following that same night after I'd recorded that actually not too long after I actually recorded my very first masturbation audio intended to be listened to on the internet by a public audience or like a general audience of adults and I was so nervous recording it I kept shaking it was really weird because you know nowadays making a masked audio or any kind of erotic audio it's easy peasy for me I can do it with no issue I can do it pretty much on the fly it's pretty simple for me but when I was making my first two erotic audios holy shit it was one of the most nerve-racking nerve-racking exhilarating things in my life and in that moment when I orgasmed on the recording you know I sat there kind of processing it after I'd finished recording and excuse me and I kind of realized you know that was oddly intimate whoa and words can't describe how weird I felt when the audios were approved on Literatica and put up on there because I'm fun fact fun confession I got my starts on Literatica but the same night after I'd upload them while waiting for those to be approved because for those of you that have never listened to Literatica's audio side or for those of you that have never uploaded on there before I've since deleted my account by the way but it's worth mentioning that the the upload process is not as simple and quick as GWA's so with GWA when you upload an audio all you do is you go into soundgasm you upload your audio you know and then you make a post on the GWA subreddit and post your audio very simple and as long as you follow the rules that the mods have set for in terms of audio content appropriately tagging your audio your audios go up instantly you don't have to worry about waiting but with Literatica it took like a couple nights before my audios made their debut on the site because these audios are manually like listened to I assume because they take forever to be fucking put up and approved you know what I mean and it was pretty annoying and frustrating and by the time that those audios had been approved I'd already uploaded a good couple things or good few audios to GWA and then I decided to pack my bags from blit and move to GWA permanently and that's where I've been staying since yay but the recording process was always really awkward for me at first because I felt so nervous and in my first like first few audios I only whispered I never actually used my real voice I whispered partly because the time I'd be recording them was like pretty late at night or in the afternoon but I didn't want to get caught but also because I figured why not live up to my username and never use my actual voice teehee because I was very scared of being found out and truthfully when you're making audios of an erotic nature getting found out it's gonna be a thing that will you know eventually potentially happen and you have to keep that risk in the back of your mind and you have to be very careful and safe you know what I mean I mean like if I were to be making just exclusively cuddly ASMR non erotic audios with like that being the only stuff I made I wouldn't give a shit who found out who I was but like erotic audio is a totally different story but that is a totally different subject but you know back when I was a really paranoid about being found out I used to only whisper in my audios but then I finally worked up the courage and decided you know what I'm just gonna take the plunge in the risk and I'm gonna start using my voice in my audios outside of just whispering because I had people expect you know or not expecting I had people anticipating the moment where they'd be able to hear my voice for the first time and so yeah that was another nerve-wracking thing to do my first recordings where my voice really came out was a very I don't want to say it was scary but at the time yeah it was kind of scary because it was something that I was never a hundred percent used to I was like oh oh no they can actually hear like my voice like people are gonna recognize my voice oh no you know but it ended up not being a big deal nobody fucking cared you know they're just like you have such a nice voice and I was like oh recording audios you know nowadays it's a lot smoother of a process all I do is I just grab my phone I go to a room where I have utmost privacy which can I confess something kind of awkward lately that's actually pen my garage can you believe it whoa but you know in the end it's easy to just grab my phone turn on the voice recorder record my shit and then upload it you know not to mention the sound quality is amazing but back then my recording process was supremely uncertain and like god I don't even know but nowadays I feel a lot more confident making erotic audios it took a lot of time to come out of my shyness and nervousness when making my initial audios which I've actually come to notice that my when I compare like my first few masked audios to my more recent ones I've really changed the way that I do my masked audios like back when I debuted I remember that there was a lot of discussion of what I was feeling and what I was doing and what I was thinking about nowadays it's more just I make my noises and the recordings done and I kind of want to go back if I can go on this other small tiny little quick thought tangent here next time I do a masked audio for like GWA or whatever I'm really hoping that I can kind of go back to my roots of really describing things more in detail like that like how I used to because I miss that you know I think I feel like that was an element to my masked audios that really made it something special compared to a lot of the other masked audios not to say that those are bad masked audios or anything but like my masked audios I think they stood out because of both the insatiability and lustiness in me but also my pretty innocent nature as well let's see what else is there to say about recording audios um cuz there's so much I could talk about it's just so tangenty and mmm you don't care if I go on too many tangents do you cuz it's all gonna relate back to recording so I think it should be okay I think the next thing I want to talk about right now is an extension of recording which is has recording changed my fetishes or my desires or things like that so when I first came to GWA I was a very very vanilla person I did have my kinks and things but I mostly had vanilla sweet tame fantasies and to this day it still kind of remains true my fetishes haven't actually changed that much believe it or not but I am gaining a bit of a love and affinity for things that I initially wouldn't have given as much thought about like sometimes now I'll actually have thoughts just passing in the day about man I wonder what snowballing is like after I made my foot worship foot job snowballing audio which was supremely fun to make I loved it but um you know GWA has also kind of introduced me really I almost feel like GWA has introduced me more to like my limits than to my new fetishes like for a lot of people when they come to GWA at first they're like you know to give an example some people come and they're like you know DDLG ain't really my thing and then before you know it they get into it that hasn't happened for me like I can see the appeal of DDLG and stuff specifically DDLG but it's not something that works for me um like I have moments where I'll kind of feel like I'm going into little space but it's hard to say if I'd ever do audios that really embrace it like in a more sexual fashion but not only that but like I've never been comfortable with the whole daddy papa stuff making audios of it because for me that's like a very intimate personal thing and it's a very vulnerable thing for me so I don't feel as comfortable making audios featuring that content so like for me you know I almost kind of hate to say it because I think I'm I feel like I'm gonna break some hearts when I say this but like DDLG stuff is kind of a hard limit for me in terms of things I'll record despite how tame and sweet it can really be it's just you know I don't know it's like I see so much of it that I don't know like I feel like it doesn't really do anything for me as much like I can listen to audios with DDLG in it and like I can enjoy them and find them cute or find them hot but it's not really because of the DDLG elements you know like when I hear a pretty voice say daddy whether it be a lady voice male voice or something in between whatever it is you know when I hear the word daddy or Papa although nobody really says Papa do you notice that but um with like my preferred title if I were to ever cross that hard limit I'd actually personally use Papa because I think it sounds a little more cute and even a little bit more innocent but still kind of naughty like it's very like almost elegant I really like the way Papa rolls off my tongue but like you know I'm very neutral to the word daddy like when I hear it I'm just kind of like oh and that's it it's like I don't really feel anything when I hear it it's just kind of like oh you know here we are again you know the daddy stuff and it's not that I don't like the idea of DDLG and stuff I sometimes have fantasies about it but it's so personal I don't know if it's a topic I'd want to record no no contraire you know GWA has opened up my mind to doing mommy Dom audios a lot and I've made quite a few at this point and I'm in love with making mommy audios I really like to take on that role of being the warm assertive mommy you know what I mean it's just so fun because like in my personal life I kind of am like a bit of a caretaker myself so I can really channel that taking care of type of feeling and really push it within the mommy persona and it really is a magical thing when I'm recording because it's such a natural role for me you know what I mean and I really like to record it and I don't know like GWA has opened me to that like I have had my mind opened recently to the idea of being someone's mommy not someone in specific but like in the future like if I were to get in a relationship and that was something that somebody wanted that I would be very willing to do that for that person so in that sense GWA has opened me up to that kink a lot more than I expected but otherwise I feel like GWA hasn't really changed my fetishes or tastes that much um but next month on the 21st is my cake day so let's wait and see if by then this hasn't changed it at least a little bit you know let's see do I have any funny recording stories I can share with you guys um okay so there are times when I make like massed audios or just scenario based audios where sometimes I'll stumble on my words or I or I feel like I sense that somebody's gonna walk in on me so there are times where like I have to like stop and then restart recording like multiple times and sometimes this means when I'm trying to record a massed audio that sometimes when I hit record I'm coming already and I've made audios like where I've come like that before but there was one time where I was trying to record something like that and I never uploaded it or ever saved the file but oh god um I didn't rise how loud I was yet you know like whimpering I don't know I call whimpering I don't call my orgasm screaming orgasms because they're not screaming orgasms but they are pretty much like squealing I guess so I guess that's what I'll call it I didn't realize how loud I was squealing until I overheard my mom asking if I was okay and I was like oh no and you could actually kind of hear it in the back like you could vaguely hear it are you okay so oh I was very embarrassed and I ended up not recording anything else that day because I was just like fuck so it was supposed to be a simple massed audio turned into my mom being very concerned and then she just wanted to make sure I wasn't hurt or something and all that stuff I forget how I played it off I forget like what excuse I made or whatever but it was an adventure but she wasn't mad or anything if you were curious um what else is there is there any other funny stories I have not really um no I do have another really funny one actually actually it's really recent too so sometimes when I record audios I actually don't upload them right away I'll hold on to these recordings until I feel like I want to upload them or I feel like I'm satisfied enough with them that I'll upload them and time for a kind of an embarrassing confession I actually recorded a water sports audio recently of just myself peeing and unfortunately or maybe fortunately cuz I know that there is a fetish for this out there but unfortunately in the audio in you know mid piss I actually farted and it's not that obnoxious of a fart and when I listened to the recording I just giggle and snicker cuz like I'm literally five inside but but I felt really embarrassed when I listened back I was like oh no I farted and now the thought in the back of my head is do I still upload that do I still do it do I still upload it even though I like farted mid pee stream you know what I mean like it's really embarrassing and awkward but yeah so like I don't know like that's another funny weird experience that I've had recording an audio although I do like the pea sounds I guess it helps that I kind of brought the mic a little bit closer to like the toilet bowl but like you could still hear it further away like when it was like up at my face so I don't know and by it I mean my phone I'm sorry but yeah is there anything else I have to say in particular about recording audios um I guess I could talk a little bit about like what advice or comfort might I give to somebody contemplating recording such content so there might be some of you in the listening audience right now you might be somebody that's curious about making erotic content for people or you want to try making erotic content whether it be scripts or actually recording or whatever so I want to give you a few fun facts that might actually help you get a little more courage and inspiration to do your own stuff whether it be for GWA or any subreddit that appeals to you the first piece of advice I'm going to share and you may have already heard this before you may not I don't really mind reiterating something you've already heard to reinforce it but we are going to be weirded out by the way that we sound when we hear our voices back and it's pretty much gonna be common that when you hear your voice played back to you that you are not gonna like your voice played back to you when you hear it hearing like it's one thing when we're talking every day and we kind of hear the way our inner ear hears our voice like the way we hear and interpret our voice like as ourselves compared to the way another person hears our voice is very different and when you first hear your voice like how other people hear it I remember the first time I did I was thinking oh my god oh my god I sound weird oh no there's a weird voice tremor oh no I sound awful oh god I still uploaded regardless because at that point I was establishing a fan base but when you're first getting started holy fuck it can be very intimidating and embarrassing and weird and I just want to say that if you've recorded stuff before and never uploaded it or uploaded it I'm sorry uploaded it or if you want to record stuff but you're scared that you're not gonna sound good enough don't assume what your audience will think this is another big point when you're making audios no matter what the content that matter is in it or whatever make things that will make you happy and turn you on if you're recording a masturbation audio masturbate to something that turns you on so much that it's all that you can focus on and then you know upload that audio and you know see what happens because I guarantee that you're going to get people that find it the hottest thing that they've ever heard like I've seen people on GWA and stuff before who have said like what their first recordings you know my voice isn't really anything special or things like that but when I listened no no no my downstairs disagreed my pussy disagreed I have gotten off to so many people that were doubtful about their own voices not because they doubt their own voices that'd be some kind of weird fetish right there although I don't want a kink sham or anything but good God yeah that'd be something I get off on people that doubt their own voices can you see that God no but like I really love voices I love to hear different types of voices so like you know don't assume what your audience is going to like or get off on if you're getting off and you're genuinely enjoying yourself people are gonna catch on to that and they're going to love it another piece of advice that's kind of an extension it will take a while to establish a fan base especially if you are a male recorder if you're a female you have a better chance of succeeding on GWA although defining what success is is another thing I'm gonna get to here in a minute but you have a better chance of being heard on GWA if you're a female because it's just a simple truth that there are more male listeners than female listeners on GWA if you really think about it male recorders have it tough on that subreddit because people are mostly there for the ladies voices not the males voices but don't let that be discouragement because there are always going to be women on there who appreciate the things that you would be doing on there it wouldn't be as big of an audience but let me just say that it never hurts to have more males recording erotic content as a bisexual lady I personally would love to hear more males on GWA but maybe that's just me which leads me to my next point what is your definition of success because depending on how you define success will really determine what you're trying to achieve with GWA think about what is it what exactly are your goals or is your main objective with making erotic audios or audio in general if not erotic then some of this probably won't apply but like when making I'm gonna focus a little more on the erotic audio stuff because that's where I tend to excel so with erotic audio consider what it is that you want to do what are you trying to achieve is it self-discovery and exploration looking into and recording about different kinks and fantasies and things even if it might not necessarily be your thing to open up and to see what your reception to it is after the fact is you know to explore new fetishes and to explore things like that is it to be a creative outlet is it to make friends that have similar interests and the erotic things that you like you know these are just a few examples of things think about your reasons and it doesn't have to be a one-day process I'm still contemplating my exact reasons for being on GWA although I can name a couple you know for me I like to make feet I like to make people feel cared about I like to share my arousal with people I'm a bit of an exhibitionist and quite a bit of a voyeur so I get off on other people getting off but I also get off knowing that other people are getting off to me it's also this is gonna sound kind of weird and oddly deep for something as simple as masturbating audios or you know audios where I'm talking about fantasies or whatever but I also make erotic audios as a means of connecting to myself more and loving myself more because it's such an intimate thing and I've come to realize through making my audios that I am a very charismatic bubbly girl that is very open-minded to all kinds of sexual play and it feels good to have all these good qualities in the back of my mind you know how do I define my success um you know success will really depend on your goals but one thing I will say when it comes to succeeding with GWA or any subreddit in general try not to focus too much on the up votes try not to it's hard not to and I'm speaking from experience that sometimes one of the ways we determine if an audio we made was good is to look at the number of up votes but it's not the smartest way to determine that I don't think we should quantify success by numbers I think when it comes to erotic audio that is a little silly because erotic audio isn't about numbers so much it's more about the feelings that we bring out of people it's the arousal that we share and that gets spread to others for me personally I consider it a success when even one person tells me that my audio got them off very simple mind you but it helps when like my audios don't get as good of an up vote reception as normal it's comforting to keep in mind that my audio still succeeded to get somebody off or managed to turn somebody on which is what I intend when I make erotic audios sometimes my audios can have a bit of a deeper effect on people and I've gotten really sweet PMS from people before about just how much I might have impacted an aspect or so of their life so just you know carefully consider what you know your success would be defined as but try not to let it be too much of a numbers-based thing and if it is you know that's okay but just try not to get too discouraged if your numbers aren't necessarily supremely high or anything you know what I mean and do I have any other advice to give I don't think so um but I guess my final piece of advice for people that are you know contemplating if they should try recording themselves one thing that I would highly suggest put yourself out there don't even hesitate you know or even if you are hesitant and shy like I was put it out there and see what fucking happens because before you know it you're gonna have you know like once you upload your second your third your fourth audio you'll start to notice that specific people are gonna comment on your audios and that means you have established a fan base and it's a really good feeling when that happens
