Inflation audio stories!

 So I got an actress to read and act out some inflation stories and she's quite good, although she's still learning. I want people to give some input. Here's an example of one story she read.

Jessica by Mcoddles

Here's the link to the original story.

I obviously pay her, so I was thinking of posting a PayPal link for donations.  She's not some woman who is acting with a tin can. She actually does have a pretty decent set up. Maybe I'll even accept requests. I'm not quite sure how I should go about this. Should I share a portion of the money with the authors of the stories?  Should I just put her files on a "pay what you want" website?

I think this is really nice!! ^^ as for the whole asking the authors part, its always a better idea to note the authors that you want to commission someone doing an audio recording of their stories first. Just letting them know what you want to do for them as well as getting permission prior goes a long way. 

 

Then again, I would be hardpressed to think of someone who wouldnt want a talented person recording a story they wrote. As for paying them, it depends on the author. You wouldnt have to do it for me, but if you did i'd just make a story or drawing you wanted to see or read.

 I'm glad you really like it, Berry!  I think she's really good for someone who doesn't have an inflation fetish and she's  only going to get better as time goes by. If you or anyone else wants to donate, my paypal is lokon_target@yahoo.com  and I apologize in advance if something about this post violates the website rules.  Not sure if asking for donations via PayPal is allowed.  Also, if you have any requests for stories she should read, make sure you post them here. Also, I'm not picky about how much money I'm given. Even a penny is fine with me.  As they say, every little bit helps.

This has come up a few times before, but to my knowledge money has never been a factor in the discussion.

As someone who has spent countless hours writing many stories for the community without asking for a penny, I am conflicted by this in many different ways.

- It would be cool to hear some of my stories narrated by an attractive female voice.

- I've never written stories with the idea that I could someday, somehow make money off of them.  I guess getting a royalty of sorts off of recordings would be nice, but ultimately it doesn't really move the needle for me.  

- I don't particularly like the idea of someone else making money off of my stories.  Sure, finding the right voice actress with the right equipment at the right price isn't easy, but ultimately I did most of the hard work by writing the story itself and we're not exactly looking for Oscar quality (or even Kindle audiobook quality) voice work.  The price would have to be right, i.e. modest.

- If someone is going to make money off of reading my stories, I don't want there to be a middleman.  Despite what I'm sure would be the best of intentions on the part of someone like Blimp Boy, I would have no way of being certain that he himself isn't profiting from this when all he did is play matchmaker.

- There are so many stories out there that - through some combination of ignorance, inexperience, and carelessness on the writer's part - already aren't worth the bytes they take up and don't deserve the audiobook treatment.  If someone's going to profit from reading stories, I want them to be voicing the top 5-10% of content, not the bottom 50% that is riddled with shit.

With all that said, if a voice actress were to sell a recording of one of my stories, I'd be okay with it under the following conditions:

  1. The courtesy of asking my permission would be nice.
  2. The voice actress gets paid directly.
  3. As the writer of the story, I would at least get a copy of the recording for free.
  4. I would be fine with the actress setting up a Patreon-style arrangement where a $4-5 monthly donation gets someone access to all of the actress's recordings, as long as she makes a decent effort at producing content.
  5. I think I'd also be okay with what Blimp Boy did in this case: an individual commissioning a specific story at whatever price that they pay themselves (i.e. no taking donations), as long as that recording then gets released to the general public for free.  (A writer commissioning a story of his/her own is different; he/she could choose whether the recording gets released publicly.)
  6. I would not be a huge fan of recordings being sold individually.
Just my two cents, for all they're worth.

Whoops, forgot to comment on the recording itself.  Overall I think it's good - the actress's voice is good and she played the characters' speaking parts pretty well.  I was a little thrown off by her reading of the narration, though, as it seemed disjointed at times (I thought pauses between sentences were too long overall) and didn't do a great job at conveying the rising tension in the latter half.

The good news is that those things can be improved upon without too much effort, and they're probably just a result of lack of familiarity with the fetish.  I'm reminded of a few years ago when GingerSnap posted a recording she made of a story.  She "got" the fetish and what makes us tick, so it gave her recording a certain X-factor that, at least for me, was lacking here.

 I appreciate all the feedback. I understand that some people just want to write and act out stories out of passion but I do believe that there's nothing wrong with being paid for your hard work. I mean hell, there are plenty of absolutely terrible actors and writers for video games and cartoons that get paid a fortune  I promise that I would do my best to make sure that all the money is distributed evenly. Hell, I could even  take my PayPal statements  and send them to a writer if they believe that there is something weird going on.  And I'll make sure to tell her about your criticism. I think she was just in a bit of a rush to read that story, so she'll probably do better over time.  To be honest, I was just thinking that I could put all of her recordings on a single website and then put a donate button for those who want to support her, and I could even donate a portion to the writers if they want a bit of money as well.  I'm still thinking about all of this. 

 Also, here's another short recording she made. It's just her being force fed through a hose.

Oh wow, that one is surprisingly good as well.

Thanks. Maybe I should add some stretching balloon sounds to it. Here's another thing she recorded. She dubbed a comic called Shino VS Mad Cow Scientist. You can find all the pages on DA.

She'd really good at doing multiple voices as well, it seems!

carnatic

I think it's fantastic personally, but then I always do love audio over other forms of media as a way of experiencing my fetish. She's better than I would have expected she might have been and it's a great choice of story too :)

Blimp Boy
Blimp Boy's picture

Oh man Carnatic I am a massive fan of your stories so I'm honored that you would enjoy this so much.  Maybe we could have a private chat sometime. I'd love to have her read your stories. Curious though, which one would you prefer that she starts with?  And if you like it, would you ever consider charging for it? Your choice.

carnatic

I'm definitely interested, send me a PM, I certainly wouldn't want to charge anything for the joy of hearing something I've written voiced by her, it would be an honour.

pongo

I think the content is great.  She has a pleasant voice, she emotes well and while her reading of the text sometimes breaks up the flow of the words I'm pleased someone's making content in my favourite form. 

I'm happy for others to use my writing in this context.  I'm happy just to hear more material, but I don't claim to speak for anyone but myself. 

I have recorded audio of stories from a male perspective and always seek the author's permission.  I've had some knock backs and so those projects didn't go aheard. 
I have been commissioned for a few projects but, to date, only recording material I workshopped with the person paying for it.  If asked to read someone else's material for money I would want the author's permission before proceeding and would offer to split the fee with them.

I look forward to hearing more from your efforts, Blimp Boy, and have a catalogue of sound effects that might be of interest. 

Blimp Boy
Blimp Boy's picture

 I'm so happy you like it. Perhaps we can share a bit of sound effects sometime. I would be willing to edit some files.  I just need to take some time to think about how the whole money making process would work and how all parties can be happy with the outcome. The writer, the actress, the customers, and me.

I'm happy to send you the sound effects.
I'll send you a message with a list of what I have and send you any files you want.

These are really good!  She has a very pleasant, versatile voice that seems capable of handling a wide range of scenarios and characters.  Personally, I'd love to see her try some breath inflation scenarios (deep inhales and the like), but that's just my personal bias talking.  Whatever you decide to do, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you two have in store.

As several people have already stated, asking permission from the author before recording one of their stories would definitely be a good idea.  Most people probably won't have a problem with it, but you never know.  I know there are some writers who've quit the community over the years, and it's possible they won't want their work being re-circulated, depending on the circumstances they left under.  

Also, as other posters have already pointed out, if you're going to try and make money off of this, I'd recommend trying to create original content, rather than using existing stories, unless you plan on cutting the writer in on the profits.  Depending on what business model you decide to use (Patreon, paypal, etc.), you might even be able to permit user submissions at or above a certain donation tier.

Permission is definitely something I will always ask for,  and if I do end up selling audio recordings, I'm probably just going to charge a very cheap fee and give the writer a portion of each sale

I've seen this idea tossed about a lot, It's quite pleasing to see it come to life like the monstrous aberration it is.

Very interesting.

Having at one time been an inflation author and since I sort of live in the financial profession, my opinions:

It seems like you have three basic costs:  Your time, the actresses time, and the authors time.  All should be compensated.  Asking permission is an absolute must, there is no other respectable way to go about it.  

I can see a few different ways of doing this.  You might try getting the permission of several authors (for the sake of example, let's say Luther Kane, Inflate 123 and Carnatic).  Then put that selection in front of your customer base and let their dollars vote which one you do, winner take all.  Then allocate the total sum of money received across your three cost centers.

You could test the market, to see how many people would be willing to pay whatever your per unit price is, then offer the author a flat fee, let's say $100.00.  The author is paid, and anything you make over that $100 and after paying your talent is all yours to keep.

Naturally for any of that to work you have to have a clear understanding of your initial costs: yourself (yes, your work and profit are both costs) and your talent so you can have a good idea how much to offer your writer.

If, after you've budgeted your talent you're short on cash to the author, maybe offer them a smaller $ amount but with a % of the profits.

There are lots of different ways to run it.  Even for when its not my cup of pervy tea, I still find it very interesting. But I'm a business nerd.

Good luck.

 Thanks for the reply. I will definitely put all of this into consideration though I am curious. Why isn't it your cup of tea by any chance? :o

So I'll start off like this.  I just made a Patreon page and it is a bit barren at the moment but I will be updating it. The first person to donate one dollar will be able to type up a script that she can act out. You can have her say whatever you want, then I'll share the recording with everyone. I'll think of other rewards if this becomes popular.

Welp, you can count me in.  Just signed on as a patron.  Had to dig up my Patreon password and everything, but this is definitely something I can get behind. 

Sorry if my starting pledge is a bit small.  Money's been tight this month. ^^;  I'll probably up the size of my pledge as time goes on and I can properly budget for it though.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Phraxus! I greatly appreciate it!  Since you were the very first, you can write up a script about anything you want and I'll have her act it out. Just send me a PM!  And we can discuss other rewards .  Any amount of money is fine by the way. We are not picky.

clovis

A little rough, but I like her lighter/playful tone and her acting within the characters is great.  Only main criticism was often hearing her intakes of breath- probably not something anyone else would have issue with, but it was something that I found a tad distracting. 

Not sure where I stand on the other arguements being made here as far as pay, but I absolutely think permission should be asked for and am happy that seems the concensus.

Good luck.

Blimp Boy

 Thank you very much, and I'll be sure to forward the criticism to her. She'll understand. Like I said, I think she might've been rushing this first story a bit.

She doesn't want her real name to be revealed, but you can find her YouTube channel linked on the Patreon page. I only ask that you respect her and don't beg her to do a bunch of stuff for free. She's a lovely woman and she doesn't need stress!

clovis

Blimp Boy, if you'd be interested, I'd like to offer up one of my own stories:

http://bodyinflation.org/node/64

This story never really caught on, but I think it could work well as an audio as it is both dialogue heavy and involves telling several stories within the story.

If you would be interested, please let me know- before recording I'd like to revise it a bit both for audio and the fact that the story is quite old and could probably use some touch-ups.

Blimp Boy
Blimp Boy's picture

I'll definitely consider it, clovis!  Right now  my plate is a bit full with some of the requests  and I know she is a rather busy person,  so she might not be able to get around to voicing every single story.  Thank you very much for the offer though. <3  she's definitely going to create more recordings as our Patreon gets larger.

I'm sorry for your situation and I really hope things get better, but the time and effort that comes into making this stuff, along with the expensive equipment requires us to have some kind of cash flow. I hope you understand.
