I'd like to ask for some suggestions before I start posting to other forums. I'd love to get this started!

Good day.
I've had an idea brewing for some time, and would like to hear an opinion on it. Just as some people read books into audio for those who might not be able to access them, I thought the same idea with manga.

I've translated and recorded the first chapter of "Gin to Kin" by Fukumoto Nobuyuki. This manga describes the dealings of "Gin-ou" (King Gin) and his associates, in the under-belly of society where shady dealings with stock speculators and politicians is the norm.
The idea is simple:
Choose a chapter of a series, and read it outloud to a soundfile. Read dialogues and describe the visuals.
Writers could write 'scripts' of the dialog and visual descriptions for the Readers to use. Readers could read and describe (either directly from the manga, or from a 'script' that someone else has written) into audio.
[ As you can clearly hear from my horrible presentation, it dosen't have to sound 'professional'. ]
As an alternative, screen readers could also be used to read these 'scripts' if spoken audio isn't available.
Interesting Idea?

Cheers,
