| We're making a free resource where kids can have stories read to them by other kids. It's a simple, safe alternative to sites like youtube where young viewers can click away to unknown destinations. PRODUCTION VALUES It's early days for the site, hence there will obviously be amends to our process over time. We have specifically not filmed in a studio. Rather, we are going for the fairly relaxed narration filmed with a flip camera. We're trying to stay true to the essence of the concept, which is that of kids at home reading to each other. ACCENTS We are based in the UK hence all the narrators have English accents. From September onwards an increasing number of US narrators will start making their way onto the site. The narrators we have chosen are kids who want to read stories. We have not matched kids to certain stories. In cases where kids mumble slightly or struggle with words, we have specifically not edited. This is meant to be a natural process of kids reading aloud. Each reader practices the story only once before before narrating. SAFETY All stories are vetted before being narrated and published. To the best of our knowledge, no inappropriate, offensive or harmful content appears on this site. Smory-tellers will remain anonymous. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK The site just a few months old, so please let us know what you via the feedback acessible via the menu bar above. |
