Hunger Games Fan Poll!

[MrJoshfroggy]

I like the words. but im okay without them! i just want more videos! :D

[TehLazyBoy]

Do you watch FMA too? <3

[weirdOchoketv]

You should just narrate the story instead of taking time to type out the words because it takes a long time and I LOVE the way you narrate it , makes me think of how the actual characters might talk!

[LarryChen2008]

Given the movie will be out in Mar 2012, it will be better to get the video out sooner.

I got the book but found it is easier to listen on the bed instead of holding the actual book. Keep up the good work, I enjoyed your audio book/chapters😜

[buffygirl2001]

You better be narrating the whole thing, and thats the reason why you are taking soooo long... Update us please.

[lambokun]

FUCK THE WORDS ,MORE VIDEOS!!!

[lokiguest]

Without narration please. You voice act clearly, and I like to put your videos on while driving or working so I don't even look at the screen

[cnconrad2]

I really don't need the words.

I don't find myself reading 90% of the time.

[RachelFurtado]

could you put the subtitles...because I'm more of a visual person I kinda need to see to understand...I completely get it if you can't...because I agree that it takes longer to post...thanks anyway :)

[ThatSabrinaR]

the same. i like reading along



[TrueBlueSonicFan16]

NO WORDS PLEASE!!!

[uareadork1]

no words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[natalie501]

hii i just wanted to know what mic you use?

[Sandriikts11]

The sameeeeeeee..... I don't have the books. :c

[kk33t]

i would love just the narration if its possible

[rSoloRider]

ahhh i just listened to chapter four. Personally, i prefer to be able to read along with it. But thats just me.

keep up the good work, though! :)

[augustj21]

@ChristinaAudiobooks im actually fine with the way it is now you do a great job reading so thank you :)

[sanjexD]

You need to continue your videos,but can you hurry up! In downloading them ..i cant wait .-_-

[angelsuperstar14]

ok i know this is over but what if you just make the videos like chapter 4 (with no words in the video) and just put the text form the book in the description? you can just copy and past the text from a web site and then just paste the text you just copied in the description... Love the audiobooks xD

[caldogc8]

just want to say thank you fo doing whatchu do!

In my personal opinion i rreeeaaalllly like when there is words up there for me to read along to. my mind gets distracted when i just have to listen. Now i realize that its more difficult to edit all the words up there. I was thinking maybe you could just take a picture of the pages you are reading and post it up one after the other? maybe thats even harder than doing what you do, i dunno. Just a thought, regardless tho, thank you. :)

[josegoofy]

just dont stop doing videos. you have me wanting to read more . but it sounds better when u read u make feel like im there

[AszianCuber]

This sounds so professional :).

I think it would be good if you just put up the narrations

[RandomRandi16]

SAME

[ATOMICpacman]

I usually listen to it while im on thecomputer( e.g. Games) so i dont read the text.

[waitwhatareyouasking]

u should do the original i guess but the other option would b cool too.

[HiMyNameIs35]

Narration!! :)

[CarpeOmnia22]

I vote on just the narration. You speak clearly enough that I don't see a need for reading the words along with listening to you. I'm sure many would be willing to sacrifice subtitles for a faster updates too.

[TheBJxSHOW]

You should just put the narration up and if you could find the book online or in a text document and we can just play the video and follow along on another page.

[Im2Godlike]

just narration please !!!! you do great.

[ShaunaEmm]

You could also put the chapter in the description, that way you don't need to worry about timing.

[THEGR8EST3V3R]

I love how you read the hunger games! You have so much expression in your voice. I like it the way it is, but anytime one part finishes, i really, REALLY want to hear the next. If it's easier and faster to put the narration only, PLEASE put narration only. I need to know what happens next! And thank you so much for uploading these. You have an amazing voice!

[krazfoo04]

the books are such an easy read, my suggestion would be to put the words up only because, if you were like me and you actually have the book, once you start reading these books you will not want to put it down. I am a slow reader and i have heard of people saying "such in such book was so good I couldn't put it down" and i never believed that until now. I was debating on getting the books so i found your audiobooks and listened to what you had up and then got the books and finished them. =)

[talk2telle]

Although the words are nice, I say audio only to help the videos come out faster! Great job at narrating! You have such a nice tone to your voice and a good range of individual voices for the characters! Keep it up!

[Zebra798]

Narration only :)

[Queven52]

I just listen, so i vote narration only.

[badbat37]

(Sorry could not fit in what i have to say so let me continue)) and If you can't do either than i cast my vote for narration only and for a suggestion for another book you can read (when your done with the hunger games) is "Unwind" by Neal Sherman(might have misspelled sherman) it is a great book that i read and it is like Hunger games but has a bit of a twist to it so check it out and reply to me because i want to know what you think of these suggestions.P.S.I like The Full metal Alchemist to;)

[badbat37]

I believe you should put 2 up with just with just the narration and one up with both the narration and the words each week so the people who have the book can read it much quicker... but if you can't I have another idea which is that you upload the video with just narration but put the words in the description. . I believe this would work out for both sides of this argument and it will be much quicker. P.S. You have a amazing voice that can actually pull of audiobooks (others just irritate me...

[Slash2055]

I vote "Narration Only."

[J0OSEPHINNE]

So strange to hear Katniss talk to us ;). Well, just to say, i really love how you put the subtitles in the font! But if it's easier for you, maybe you could juste like, write them in the description or with the Youtube tool :). I'm glad you started to read this book anyway, and i will keep listening no matters how you do that!

[avalanchecrashed]

I don't have the book, but it wouldn't be hard to get it for me to read along, plus, i personally don't really need the words, since your narration is excellent, so I go for the new idea! if that will make the videos come more often, then i'd be glad! :)

[flavorofthedazed]

I agree with @thecarlo512 because even though I have the book, I haven't had time to read it. I can listen to your lovely voice and hear the book while doing chores/folding laundry instead of watching stuff like Jersey Shore. Please, please, please go with this suggestion.

[thecarlo512]

i do other things while i am listening so i like the new thing

i love your work:)

[iamfire1]

I rather without the words on the screen since I don't sit there and read along, I do other things while listening along

[BizzlMix]

i'd like videos with no text in the background because i could enjoy your reading better as i don't try to read along ;-) but i just love that you're doing this (i don't own the books and i'm getting into the story with your reading)

[SoUnperfect22]

I do otther things when I listen to this so just the narration is great :D

[GirlOnFire1990]

I like it with the words, but if it means getting the narration quicker I am all for it! Thank you so much for doing this videos! I love them! Keep up the great work! :) <3

[augustj21]

i dont have the book and i love reading along same please

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@augustj21 Okay, thank you, I'll take your opinion into account. :D

[sheeshaslasher]

I personally haven't read the books [the hunger games] and have a young child to take care of who loves tearing up books, so i don't have the time to actually pick up a book - I do enjoy being able to sit and read the subtitles when I get a free moment, but would much rather have a quicker turn out seeing as this is my first time through them. Maybe if you did one with subtitles eventually, whether that be at the end of the book or the end of the week? I really enjoy your videos, so Thank You!

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@sheeshaslasher Thank you so much! Your ideas are so very much appreciated.

[98querida]

Just narration is great :) U do a AMAZING Job & I love, love, loooooooove your videos! ;D <3

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@98querida Aww, thank you so much! :D

[ebrach121]

Just narration is fine :D I love the quicker upload idea ;)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@ebrach121 Thank you for the input!

[itsameeeeemario]

Don't worry about the subtitles. I'm sure there are a few people who sit and watch the screen the whole time, but I'd bet you anything most people just listen while doing other things. I listen to audiobooks either in the car, or when in bed. I do appreciate the work you put into reading them as well as typing them out, but I'm pretty sure the subtitles are overkill when concerning the majority and quicker video uploads would be most beneficial.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@itsameeeeemario Yes, most of my fans do listen to this while they are doing other things like before going to bed or whilst cleaning their houses. Thank you for your input and for listening to my work. It's most appreciated!

[ebrach121]

@itsameeeeemario totally agree :)

I listen while painting or playing Minecraft :P

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@ebrach121 Minecraft? My brother plays minecraft LOL

[ebrach121]

@ChristinaAudiobooks ha ha :D that's awesome! :) It's really fun. Sorta like virtual Lego's...with zombies and skeletons and green guys that blow up coming for you at night to make it a little interesting :P But you can play it on peaceful ;)

[Tigergal81]

Just narration please! U do a great job at story telling! Thanks for posting these videos it really helps me get through my house work haha!

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@Tigergal81 Ah, thank you so much for listening/leaving your opinion. I like that I'm able to help you get through the house work HAHA.

[maryam61193]

I vote for narration, only. :)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@maryam61193 Okay, thank you for your input!

[kcinimod1980]

although i prefer just the narratin i must believe there are people who will watch because tey are hard of hearing and can follow along with the current format.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@kcinimod1980 Yes, I do agree with that, being hard of hearing myself! I appreciate the input!

[UntouchableShadow]

Just the narration! Personally I do not read along with the book, I am doing other things while listening to audio books (Clean, Cook, Workout, Drive, Relax, etc...) as do many other people. You're voice is clear, and the book is well read enough that it is easy to keep up by just listening. Also if people don't have a copy to follow along there are plenty of free ebook versions of it online.

[itsameeeeemario]

@UntouchableShadow I agree, and just want to say that if the ebooks are easy to find and view, it might be an idea to save yourself some work and just link to one in the description of each video. Perhaps a page number as well?

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@itsameeeeemario Yes, that's a good idea, thank you for your input! :D Perhaps I will try that. It's must appreciated.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@UntouchableShadow Okay, thank you for the input. A lot of people have said that they do other things while listening to this!

[demoniackz]

I would like to vote for quicker version, coz I wanna believe you will read us an entire trilogy, and putting up words will take too much time .

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@demoniackz Yes, my plan is to read the entire trilogy of the Hunger Games so it would come out quicker if I could only do the narration. Thank you for your input!

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@terriblevidz Ah, I see, a very sobering opinion! I'm seriously taking this into account!

[SpartanAirsofter]

Just the narration although I appreciate having words I mostly listen to this after work in bed and do not read along. :)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@SpartanAirsofter Ah, I see, you are not the first person to tell me that they listen to the audiobook while in bed before going to sleep. :D This is most heart-warming to me. <3 Thank you for your input!

[NewRhythmLife]

Just the narration :)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@NewRhythmLife Thank you!

[purpleheart265]

Narration plz! :3

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@purpleheart265 Thank you for your input!

[xlilacattack]

I'm here for the narration, not the words. Your voice is great, stick with that.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@xlilacattack Ah, thank you for your input! :D

[Hwaitingg]

Because English is not my mother language, so I'd prefer words. I know this sounds selfish but... It's really hard for me to just listen to understand everything. T.T

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@Hwaitingg I completely understand, don't worry! I will do what is best for my fans. :D

[TheLocalcat]

I've already got the book, so no words. Thanks for doing this by the way :)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@TheLocalcat No problem, thank you for listening to this and becoming a fan, making me so popular! :D

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@TheLocalcat No problem! Thank YOU for listening and for your input :D

[SheepPencil]

I'd prefer faster uploads (:

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@SheepPencil As would so many other people, I'm sure! Thanks for the input :D

[Starzz62]

Just ur voice, please.

I like having the words, but i come here to listen to the story.

Thank you for posting these videos either way though! : )

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@Starzz62 Thank you for the input! I'll take it into account <3

[fourskinification]

Your narration is terrific as it is :) The words were just a bonus, but just the narration seems fine for me ! I am also going to use this opportunity to thank you for posting these videos :D

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@fourskinification Okay, thank you so much for your input AND for taking the time to listening to this! My fans are my everything, I will never forget that. :D

[lifeunderstands1]

words words words words words words words words

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@lifeunderstands1 Haha, thank you for your input!

[NummyMuncher101]

i say stay the same i already have the books but i like listening and reading it too i dont want it to really change but you could change the backround if you wanted

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@NummyMuncher101 Haha, thank you for your input, I understand the desire for no change.

[RosesforThorns1]

I like to read along, because I don't have the book, and it helps me to understand.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@RosesforThorns1 I understand completely, I will take what you said into account and do what's best for all my fans. :D

[ItsMeNoeli]

Without the words !!!! That way more videos more often and Well I don't really need them so WITHOUT THE WORDS please (:!

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@ItsMeNoeli Okay, thank you for your input! :D

[mandrupsen]

I don´t reade allong, so only narration wod be fine :)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@mandrupsen Thank you for your input! It's much appreciated.

[kcenter85]

My vote is for quicker video uploads ;) You do an awesome job reading the book and that's why why we all went searching for the "audiobook" on YouTube right? So we could "listen" to it. If we want to read it we can go to the library and get the book or go buy our own copy. I'm thinking it will save you time and effort and we will all still get to hear you bring the characters to life if you just read the story. Thanks so much for the option of voting and thanks so much for sharing the book with

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@kcenter85 Of course I would vote for my fans. I wouldn't want to do something to upset you guys! And thank you for the input, you rise a very good point. Stay tuned for the final decision.

[TeddyBearWithSexHair]

I think you should stick with your current format.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@TeddyBearWithSexHair Thank you for your input! :D

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@TeddyBearWithSexHair Thank you for the input! :D

[4evertwilight1918]

hi im from israel and i think that it would be awesome if u just speak!! u speak in a very clear voice so i dont think that it would make much difference even though english is my third language

PS i love u for making these videos ur doing us a favor by posting them let alone having the words written xoxoxo

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@4evertwilight1918 Ah, I see, thank you for your input! I will take this into account. :D

[barkbarkbunny]

Just listening to the narration would be lovely. :)

I listen to this audio book on my phone, so pictures and words are not necessary for me.

Thank you for uploading these.

:)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@barkbarkbunny Okay, thank you so much for your input! :D

[ezongz]

i like he new one

[LadyRianna17]

i really like the words on screen, but i also understand it would be much faster to just do the narration. i like both. its your choice.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@LadyRianna17 Thank you for your input!

[epitaphsmag]

I prefer just narration, too. Not just for faster posting but because it seems like overkill. When I look for audio versions of books on YouTube, that's all I'm looking for. If I wanted to read it, I'd get the book! :)

BTW, you are an EXCELLENT reader/narrator. I listen to a lot of audio books (I don't even listen to music on the way to work anymore, just books), and you do a wonderful job. Your version is MUCH better than the reader of the official version.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@epitaphsmag Thank you so much for your input! And I understand everyone's love of just the voice and not the words, but there are some people who don't speak English as their first language so they appreciate the words. But this is the whole point of the voting in the first place! Haha so thanks! :D

[nleekayb]

@ChristinaAudiobooks Just a thought, if they can't speak english I'm sure its even harder for them to read it.I am not seeing very many for leaving the words up, your fans are obviously complaining of the time it takes for you to put up your videos. If this will help you put up more videos faster, then I say take out to words and just stick to narrating. Regular audio books don't come with words anyways, most people listen while doing other things throughout their day they don't notice the words

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@nleekayb I understand your point, you rise a good one. Thanks for your honest opinion! :D

[helloiamlost]

No words. Just talk. haha. Your narration is amazing!

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@helloiamlost Haha, short, sweet, simple to the point. Thanks for your input!

[ILHMS89]

Narration by itself, i think would work better, and it would be a lot easier for you. Your awesome

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@ILHMS89 Thank you for the compliments! :D

[Martejen89]

Just narration works fine :) If that makes it easier for you to get the videos out faster as well, then even better!

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@Martejen89 It will make it easier but I want to be sure all of my fans are happy. :D Thank you for your input.

[terretsforever]

Personally I vote just the audio not scrolling text but you do what you want.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@terretsforever Thank you for the vote! :D

[Jodatflow]

just narration is good, I don't read along usually and already have the book

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@Jodatflow Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it.

[NWforager]

Just Voice and Cool Pics are better than Great . We can always use the weird youtube CC button =) This is the only place to get your cool HGs. We can find text elsewhere online

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@NWforager Thank you so much! And yes, I had almost forgotten about the CC button. How does that work on my videos that already have text? Do they still come up if I have text in the video?

[NWforager]

@ChristinaAudiobooks Its very much 'still in Beta' =) . the cc translator tries to estimate what you are saying even with your text vids . Though your syntax is great ,it tends to mistake words .its actually funny to try . it'll be scary when its perfected o_0

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@NWforager Ahh I see. That sounds strange but I'm glad that I don't need it for my videos. HAHA. Thanks for your input!

[gunnziboy]

Whatever that's easier for you :)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@gunnziboy Thank you for having some concern for me but I really want my fans to be happy!

[Shadow1Fangirl]

I'd like just the narration with pictures. :)

[Shadow1Fangirl]

I'd like just the voice and picture idea. :-)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@Shadow1Fangirl Okay thank you for the input! :D

[unprofessionalvids]

can we have a video of you reading it instead of the narration? :)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@unprofessionalvids you mean, a video of me with my face so you can see what I look like whilst reading?

[unprofessionalvids]

@ChristinaAudiobooks EXACTLY :D

[xxDeeMmmVeexx]

JUST NARRATION PLEASE! Its amazing, and we already.have the books, so. c:

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@xxDeeMmmVeexx Thank you for the input, that's what I figured already. :D

[dreamingchick08]

the narration is fine.  :)

[seeradurr]

just narration so it can be quicker.

[fogielover]

I'm fine with just narration. I love to fall asleep listening to the book.

[brunetteDUH]

narration is fine! why do we need the words if we could read the book

[AllyBally2127]

Just the Narration. I have the book but I do not follow along, I usually just listen and not follow along. Please put out new videos more often with out narration!!! :)

[mlbman100]

Plz do the normal way I don't have a copy of the books

[aq09871]

Yeah, just the narration with no text on the screen is a good idea

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@aq09871 Thanks for your input! I really appreciate it.

[soulofheart1000]

i dont have a copy and i really liked it the way it was

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@soulofheart1000 Okay, thank you for your input! :D

[BumbleLadyBee]

I would be fine with just ur voice(: don't stress ur self too much over the words lol:)

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@BumbleLadyBee Thanks, I'll try not to stress too much although I do like to keep you guys updated constantly with new videos. :D

[Mermez3000]

I'm fine with just narration :) Simply the sound of your voice is lovely!

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@Mermez3000 Thank you for saying that my voice is lovely. <3 And thank you for your vote.

[ccyn042]

i'd prefer just voice and no text. btw, you have a great voice!

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@ccyn042 Thank you for the input and the compliments! :D

[shanedawson1fanonly]

I don't have the Hunger Games book, so I kinda like the words on the screen. And I like @fredfanhomie  Idea of the words in the description box!

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@shanedawson1fanonly Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it!

[Flawless4Sanity]

I'm fine with just the narration, especially because most of the time I don't even read a long with the video anyways.

[fredfanhomie]

Hey, I have an idea, since I don't have a copy of the book, and I'm not very good with listening, I thought that maybe instead of making all the editing and most of the hard work, just write it on the video description. Maybe that will make it much easier.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@fredfanhomie Thank you for your input! :D

[gunnziboy]

@fredfanhomie you can read it online :)

[AmaneeChaan]

I'd rather have just narration, its easier.

[ChristinaAudiobooks]

@AmaneeChaan Okay, thanks for your input!
