Well, the fact that you are a female was a big factor. Also, the fact that you enjoyed the story so much eventually lead me to think to ask.

As far as YouTube goes, you wouldn't have to actually go on the site to help me out. All you would have to do is get a microphone that plugs into your computer, find a program that you can use to record audio (I use Mixcraft, but there's also Windows Sound Recorder, Audacity, or pretty much any audio-related application), record yourself reading Tanya's parts (chapters 2 and 4, and don't forget the one line she has in chapter 3), save the audio file to your computer, and attach it to an e-mail to send it to me. From there, I can add background music and make a video out of it.

Helpful tips, I try to put myself in the mindset of the character (a.k.a. method acting) and I kind of laid out a description of how Tanya speaks in chapter 3 when Jacob is describing her voice. But, I won't be too critical of your voice performance anyway since you'd be doing me a favor. Also, it's good to use a program that lets you edit the audio before you save it, allowing you to compile multiple takes together if you mess up (like I do, A LOT) and don't wan't to start over from the beginning. I'm pretty sure Sound Recorder doesn't let you do that, but Mixcraft and Audacity definitely do. Worst case scenario, you send me a longer file with mistakes and I can edit it myself.

I hope that helps. If you need more time to decide, it's totally fine. I just wanted to let you know what it would entail. I'll understand if it's more than you're willing to do for a stranger. Just know that I will be very happy if you can do it. :-)
