I would include them as "spoken", but I don't work on audiobooks. If you think a separate "narrator" attribute is needed, feel free to suggest it as a sub-type of spoken. I think this would be an improvement over the current situation in any case, because now all kinds of spoken vocals, including narration, have to be entered as either "other vocal" or just "vocal". > -- Grant > > On Jan 25, 2011 1:16 PM, "Nikki" <aei...@gmail.com> wrote: >> +1 from me too, spoken stuff is the main reason I need to use "other" >> for vocals. >> >> and since you didn't include it, this proposal expires on the 30th >> (around 2am CET, so still the 29th for a lot of people ;)) >> >> Nikki >> >> Nicolás Tamargo de Eguren wrote: >>> I would like to propose adding a "spoken" attribute to the vocal tree. >>> The separate "Speaker Relationship Type" (RFC-55) is abandoned, and >>> honestly, I'd say there is no reason to consider speech as different >>> from the rest of the vocal tree.
