[SPN Podfic] Not In Kansas Anymore

[ratherastory]

So by way of procrastinating on my Dean/Castiel Big Bang, I decided to do something nerve-wracking. I'm testing my boundaries, or having a mid-fandom crisis, I dunno. Anyway, back in the day when nwhepcat wrote Not In Kansas Anymore I thought it would be really awesome if someone did a podfic of it. And then sometime last week she posted giving people

Podfic! Eeeee!

I downloaded and listened to, like, a minute of it, just out of curiosity. You've got a lovely reading voice! I'll listen to the whole thing later, when I'm not madly distracted by other things.

:D

Glad you like my voice so far! It goes a little hoarse by the end, alas. ;)

*wibbles anxiously about the whole process*

[bellatemple]

Dude, you recorded a whole, like, hour or more of reading. That's something like ten times the length I've managed on any podfic project. I think getting hoarse is allowed.

[ratherastory]

Heh. God help me if I ever decide to try a longer fic. ;)

I will take more breaks next time, though. The fan noise is less discernible that way, and it'll give my voice a break too.

general_jinjur advised on tea, then tea with honey, then tea with whiskey for long podfics. Also, breaks. And frozen peas under the fan to keep it from getting too loud. She did a podfic workshop at the last writercon.

I drank about a gallon of water. I have NO idea how coherent my reading would be if I involved whiskey. ;)

I think it's just a little bit right at the end. Apparently it's good for your throat.

I would definitely go with tea as well as water, next time. I remember it helping after spending hours telling stories at parties.

[ratherastory]

Tea fixes everything! Why didn't I think of that? :D

That might be...interesting. It could be a whole challenge! Everyone would be assigned some fic, or some part of a longer fic, and they'd all have to do it after imbibing.

Bonus points if they start rewriting the story midway through.

Oh, man... it'd be like a podfic drunken remixing party!
