Anyone else? I started doing this recently whenever I'm reading at home, and I find I enjoy the prose of whatever I'm reading a lot more for some reason. The only problem is that it slows down my reading speed by about half, but I don't really mind.
>>24772756I once went to a tourist area where musicians often play and read a few books of paradise lost out loud and I ended the reading with a rant on how Calliope is the eldest and greatest muse and that the people who didn't like my reading were retarded, I made 20 dollars
>>24772756yes, chads read aloud
>>24772756I've been doing this since I was a small child, and I've never stopped.
>>24772756I read aloud for fun and I don't care how long it takes to finish something. If I like q passage, I may read it many times, pause, write about it, wander around, even take a nap while thinking about it.
>>24772756Anyone else like making their own audiobooks?
>>24772756Read aloud and record yourself, play it back and become more thunderous, bold, powerful.
I started reading Simulacra and Simulation and was having a hard time understanding what Baudrillard was rambling about.I began reading aloud in Agent Smiths voice and cadence and the meaning behind the words became apparent.
>>24773966wow... thats so cool man, does your mouth ever get dry from all the reading? Whats your go-to bevarage, I bet its something cool and smart like yourself.
>>24772756I try out what works best with whatever I'm reading. For wordy stuff, Wheel of Time being a prime example, I quitely read and visualize the scenes. For more literary stuff or non-fiction I often simulate a fitting voice in my head narrating the text, to slow my reading down and to better absorb it. For the cream of the crop prose, Wolf Hall being my favorite and where I first tried it out, I read aloud, just forming the words in barely a whisper is enough, and it helps immerse me deeper into the reading.

Yes. I like to pretend I am live streaming my reading to an audience and I will ask chat for their reaction to certain passages.
>>24772756I got tired of transcribing this one passage from a book so I turned on Dictation and just read the thing out loudI don’t plan on reading aloud as a habit, though
>>24772756I’ve been reading aloud for three years now. It helps me to connect with what is said a lot more through cadence and rhythm. It also helps me with remembering what I’ve read, it probably has something to do with reading slower overall.
>>24772756Good for you, anon. Reading out loud facilitates deep reading, and deep reading facilitates greater cognition
>>24772756when i'm bored, i read aloud with indian or russian accent. Don't ask me why
