What do you do before you record?

lol Kangdanim's post reminded me about this.

I usually before i record for kurisu I,
Take a shower
Brush teeth and mouth wash
and eat something xP
(not in that order)

and i always have something to drink on hand ^_^

when i have sabii and fureddo over i feed them like in between recorder switch off. most of the time i usually let Fureddo go first, while Sabii falls asleep reading a manga or Artemis Fowl. i think its odd that Sabii calls my mom a mil f xD..

anyways what do you do o-o

I get myself some warm socks.
Eat some chocolate.
Get a lot of ice tea and a glass.
Practise a bit.
And start.

I try to plan ahead and turn on my computer JUST before I record... but that's all c:

So....


If it's in the morning (rare) :

I drink pineapple juice with a touch of milk (pineapple dissolves all things which hurt my throat and milk avoid pineapple juice to agress it)

And atfer I practise



If it's in the afternoon/evening/night :

I practice before, and then:

For a cute/chibish/high/airy voice :

-Drink milk
-Drink cold water
-Inspire cold air

For a medium voice :

Just practice / eat chocolate / inspire normal air

For a boyish/low/deep/strong voice :

-Eat chocolate
-Drink coffee
-Eat spicy
-Inspire warm air

And if I want trying a boy voice, I use a jar with pierced tissue n_n

What I usually do:
-Get my programs ready
-Drink something,eat if I'm hungry
-practice a bit by saying the 'aiueo' things.
-Nom on something sweet (Not always)

What I do is
1. set the microphone
2. open CoolEdit
3. close the door
4. *cough cough*
5. start!

I do nothing.

;D

Drink water, brush my teeth. Really, it depends, I don't have a set routine...

- Hear family leave the house
- Search the ENTIRE house to make sure everyone is for srs gone and not hiding
- Open Mixcraft
- Raid kitchen and bring like x500000 cans of soda back into my room
- Procrastinate a bit and click around instead of recording
- Drink x500000 cans of soda
- Realize "OH poopie THEY'LL BE HOME SOON AND I HAVEN'T RECORDED ANYTHING"
- Record like three things and family comes home
- Angst because I'll never get anything done
- Repeat in about four hours when they leave again.

Yeah... XDDDD orz

...This, basically. XD;;

- Wait for family to leave house.
- Family doesn't leave.
- No recording that day.

Or

- Come home early from school.
- Turns out siblings didn't have work that day.
- No recording that day.

Ffffff it's so annoying, and no way will I record with my family around.

Besides that, whenever I actually manage to get some recording time I just get a glass of water so that my throat doesn't get dry.
