Streaming & download links of my live podficcing hour for The Big 24

[joan_waterhouse]

Yesterday I hosted a two hour live podficcing slot for The Big 24 charity broadcast. It was fun, exciting and more exhausting than I'd thought it would be.

If you've missed it and are at all interested in what I read there, I've recorded the whole thing and uploaded it to my podficcing blog.

Note: these were all read live in one continuous 2h

The streaming links do not work for me:(

[joan_waterhouse]

Dropbox! WHYYYYY?!?!?! D: Ok. damn. I need to try and find a way to fix this.

thanks for letting me know!

[jelazakazone]

:( :( I hate it when links don't work.

[joan_waterhouse]

Totally! Apparently streaming doesn't work for files uploaded to dropbox. Thankfully the download links are OK.

Where are you hosting your podfics? I couldn't find any place that lets me upload and stream file of size or quantity I'd need for this project. *sigh*

[jelazakazone]

D'oh.

Funny you should ask. I have started putting mine on paraka's website. I'm sure she'd be happy to post you. I'll link you up on Twitter.

Or I could put your podfics up under my spot, but I can't do that until later. Up to you.

I've figured it out! :D (hopefully) Sharing the link isn't enough, I had to put the files into the public folder. *facepalm*

Oh yay! Bath Hug is working:D I think you figured it out. Lovely:D

[joan_waterhouse]

Yay!! :) Let me know if you've any more problems!

[jelazakazone]

OMG. that was awesome! You didn't edit it at all, did you? You should hear my uncut readings. Or rather, don't. I love your voice, your accent, the whisper, all of it. It was great. "Merlin mumbles" is tricky to say, eh?

Just one thing: I think it's good to have "the end" at the end, so the listener knows it's over. Or at least that's what I'm used to (although I admit that I have a podfic that ends without "the end").

[joan_waterhouse]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! ^-^

Yeah, there were so many things difficult to say. >.< Especially when I'm a bit nervous or unfocussed my pronunciation gets completely ridiculous and even things I normally don't have a problem with (like s, sh, th sounds) won't do what they're supposed to. ;)

Re "the end": Yeah, I agree that some sort of signal makes it easier for the listener. Also, I botched the ending of this particular story. Inflection-wise. But in the context of the 2h thing there was a pause and then me going "so, that was...". It just isn't there anymore in the cut version.

[jelazakazone]

Definitely! Can't wait to listen to the rest of them!

I hear you. I feel like I just have problems with certain combinations and trying to get it right while reading make it worse, lol! Can't even imagine performing live like that, although I read to kids a lot.

Ah, that makes total sense. Actually, you might have listened to Watching, Waiting, Wet. It's the only podfic I've done with music and I don't say "the end" because I wanted the music to have the last word. <3
