let me podfic you!
May. 25th, 2008 12:40 pmOkay, so since today is podfic day, if YOU have anything you want me to record, just toss me a link and I am all over it. Let's say nothing more than like 5000 words, in Doctor Who, SGA, NCIS, Torchwood, Bones, House, Slings & Arrows, and, you know, try me.
I mean, feel free to suggest some of your favorite stories by other folk (esp if you've secured permission), but mostly just go ahead and pimp yourself -- throw me a link and I'll like it!
I like doing Ziva best, I have learned, but my Jenny and Gibbs are also surprisingly not bad! I do a pretty good Radar and Margaret, and my Tenth Doctor, I swear, is getting better. I can't do Welsh, but can do Canadian, American South, NY, etc. Stories with people with distinctive voices particularly welcomed! I have completely lost the ability to do the Sorkin voices, but I'm practicing and will probably get it back. I used to do a mean Josh and Leo.

Date: 2008-05-25 08:29 pm (UTC)I would offer to do one of yours in return, but I suck at voices. I can read exposition just fine, but dialogue freaks me out, it's too much like acting. *g*

Date: 2008-05-25 08:34 pm (UTC)Say, do you want to be credited as Epigone or likethesun2? And is it Epigone like Antigone, or Epigone like Eponine?

Date: 2008-05-25 08:51 pm (UTC)likethesun2 is probably better, just because that links the story with the journal. For reference, though, "epigone" is technically pronounced like Eponine (EP-i-gon), but in my head it always sounds like Antigone (eh-PI-gon-ee). So who knows.

Date: 2008-05-26 12:54 am (UTC)If you felt like tackling fifteen different voices in an ensemble Office fic, Borneo is probably the best bet and I would enjoy hearing someone outside my own head reading Jim's voicemail messages. Otherwise, maybe an incredibly brief Bones+10 ficlet would suit your tastes.
I'm not sure if anything is in one of your fandoms in addition to being a recordable length, plus, uh, a lot of it is porn. So no worries if it's not a match.

Thank you so much! I'm enjoying this so much I keep pausing, just to make it last longer. *big nerd*

Date: 2008-05-26 02:00 am (UTC)Okay, having finished listening, possibly the best part of that entire recording: the impeccable arch Darren-ness of the direct address at the beginning of every letter. GEOFFrey. God, every time I heard it I started laughing.
Also, the fact that you did a Southern accent for the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof line.
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE ON THE INTERNET.

Date: 2008-05-26 02:19 am (UTC)I also tried to punch the "I hate the Polish" lines at the end of each letter, because I LOVE them, especially the last two. This story, in case I forgot to mention, is so awesome.
I did stumble around with some of the Polish and German there (I think my German has a Spanish accent!) but I just powered on through. *g*

Date: 2008-05-26 07:07 am (UTC)I'm feeling that I wouldn't really like to listen to podfics with you because... I don't know... it's always too long since we've talked or something. or maybe because. I mean imagine if I read a Farscape fic on tape. It would be weird I think.
But, heh, I probably would find it mostly hilarious. Oh my word she's so American! etcetc. memories, like the corners of my mind... or is it light the corners of my mind?

Date: 2008-05-26 07:28 am (UTC)Then again, if you read a Farscape fic on tape, I would clearly call you on the telephone, and then promptly go listen to it. *g*

Date: 2008-05-28 05:13 am (UTC)I like to think that I still would have read it, and liked it muchly, had it not been written by a friend for me.
