Hate when that happens. Usually it’s technical, but once, I chose a certain voice for a character in a story I was recording (it was Ray Bradbury’s “There Was an Old Woman”), and only midway through the story did the narration describe her voice/accent as being something explicitly different. I had to go back 9 pages to the beginning and start over!
Funny. I just had that happen on page 84 of a 96 page manuscript. A single line about the character having dropped “the accent she usually had.” Fortunately, she only appears on a couple of pages so I can just do pickups, but still. I wish I’d noticed it when I was reading through the manuscript in the first place.
I usually do a character breakdown with simple descriptions of voicings/attitudes but missed that detail on this one. I just have her as “breathy, Monroe with attitude.”
Sorry to hear it! Believe me, I know the feeling (not with voice recording, but writing, programming, etc.)
Perhaps in the Future, computers will have countdown clocks that let us know when the next system crash will happen. Of course, every now and then that would fail, which would be doubly aggravating.
We could also try Rob’s method which is to just never trust them.
