This past weekend was the busiest thing - I spent 21 hours out of 72 with a handful of kids in the under-three age group; I helped Dad rearrange his basement in a mad search for a turkey tray (turns out he doesn't, in fact, own one; he was thinking of the one at Mom's house, and after all that went out and bought a new one); I had what was ( Read more... )

These days, more and more podfics have special effects added for clarity, atmosphere or to add new layers of meaning. Everything from music, to voice filters, to sound effects. To find out more information on podfic and special effects, check out Pod Aware on DW, LJ or Tumblr.

If you've listened to any of my podfics in X-Men First Class, Avengers or ( Read more... )

Podfic is more than just saying words aloud-it's performing them, expressing one reader's experience of the story and sharing it with the world. To find out more information on acting in podfic, check out Pod Aware on DW, LJ or Tumblr.

Y'know, I don't think of myself as "acting" when I podfic. Yes, I mean, it is a PERFORMANCE, because I'm putting in ( Read more... )

With the increasing number of podfics out there, it can sometimes be hard to navigate to find the ones that best suit you. Recs are great way to find podfics well-loved by others or share the gems you already know and love. To find out more information on podfic and podfic recs, check out Pod Aware on DW, LJ or Tumblr.

I...kind of forgot about the ( Read more... )

For many of us, podfic is more than just a fanwork, it's a community. We form friendships, support each other, discuss our shared passions and push each other to new forms and heights of creativity. To find out more information on podfic and podfic fandom, check out Pod Aware on DW, LJ or Tumblr.

It's that time of year again - Podfic Awareness Week, or Pod Aware for the cool kids. A week of interesting podcasts, and new podfics, and raising podfic awareness, and general awesomeness! Today's topic of conversation: How We Podfic. There are so many ways to create podfic and so many ways to listen. We might engage with podfic curled up in bed, ( Read more... )

Waaaaay back during Podfic Appreciation Week, on 11/09/11, I wrote a drabble-ish not!fic with the purpose of A) filling the "treasure hunters" square on my au_bingo card and b) legally requiring bessyboo to podfic me. The original (un-beta'd, spur-of-the-moment) ficlet can be found over here. Of course, when I saw that I needed something to fill my "treasure ( Read more... )

  It's the last day of this year's Podfic Awareness Week. *tear* (But, because I still haven't finished the thing I was gonna post for Day Five, it's not actually the last thing I'll be posting for Podfic Awareness Week....in case you were worried or something.)

Today's theme is: Encouraging Podfic. (Podfic as a fan art is still relatively small, ( Read more... )

So, yesterday's theme for pod_aware was FEEDBACK...and, of course, I missed it, because I am terrible at leaving feedback for people, and also at responding to the feedback people leave me. Originally, I had this idea to post an iTunes Celebrity Playlist-esque podcast yesterday (if I can't remember to actually type out a response, maybe talking about why I ( Read more... )

Today's theme is: Accents!

Every podficcer has an accent; sometimes that accent matches that of the canon character, sometimes it doesn't. Every accent is special and brings something to the podfic, it represents the podficcer and reminds us just how diverse fandom can be. Come celebrate accents and learn more about them in podfic at pod_aware on LJ or DW.
