Experimental podfic thing: Featuring Murray...

[skoosiepants]

Yeah, so, my voice will most likely put you to sleep (I am so not joking), something weird distorts the sound about a third of the way in for half a section, I messed up and had to take out exactly one line and, okay, words like "Monroeville" and "Instructor Bob" and "suspects" are really, really hard to say (yet I nailed "surreptitious," go

I'm downloading it right now, I'll listen to it later, it should be fun, was it fun to do? I was never really interested in podfics before, actually, but it seems interesting now. Why'd you pick that story? Just curious, I do love that story. I should do one, what sort of program do you record it on? If I did one, I suspect I'd do Beautiful World or something Harry Potter, since my bandslash stuff seems a bit... well, they swear a lot, which would make me stutter and go all awkward, I suspect. Not all swear words, but certain words I can write but seem incapable of saying, it's a tragedy. I can't remember, but I don't think I used them often in Harry Potter stuff, hmmm.

I actually recorded all of There Should Be A Name, because it's sort of first in my bandslash list. But I messed up a name and got frustrated and didn't feel like rerecording it, and I wanted to try something experimental with the end of Featuring Murray... :)

I downloaded this free ware called Audacity and looked at some tutorials. It's pretty cool!! The hardest part is keeping my voice going! And it took me OVER FOUR HOURS to record and edit this monster, and it's like a half hour long.

Oh man, the cursing is actually fun for me, and I have no clue why.

This was delightful--do more! I've heard that recording podfic is much, much harder than it sounds, congrats on your success : )

awww, thank you! it took me hours to do; I wasn't expecting it to be that hard!

*g* thank you, hon! I think I might try the sequel to this soon :)

I love Podfic!

[skoosiepants]

WOOOO!

Thank you, hon! I seriously did not realize my voice was that monotone, or maybe I was just getting really, really tired of reading - I kept messing up and starting over sections! I think the main reason I wanted to record this fic was because I wanted to splice the song in at the end. I like to imagine them all dancing *g*

What would be great is if audiofics/podfics to have sound effect like they did back then with radio I would love to do that! Though it would be so much fun to listen to, but really, really time consuming to put together :)
