podfic (surprise!)

[slidellra]

cesperanza rocks. (Breaking news, I know.) This time she rocks because she's given the thumbs up for any interested reader to record podfic of her stories, and intends to do some recording herself. I mean. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So I abandoned my life for the last day or two, and recorded Flying BlindFlying Blind, by Speranza. 51:45, 59.3MB. Right

Just listened to this, and it's great! At first I didn't like podfic much (since I couldn't determine how fast it was going), but it's growing on me. I like the way you read.

I'd sort of like to try doing it, and you seem like the person to ask for help. : ) Would you mind if I sent you something for a beta-listen? The thing is, I'm not really a native speaker, and while I do speak English pretty well, I can't really tell if people will notice or be bothered by my accent.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Sure, I'd be happy to give your podfic a listen and let you know what I think. Yay for podfic!

Here's a snippet from a post-CotW fic I'm writing.

It's just a quick recording on my mp3-player, so the sound quality isn't that great. I'm pretty sure I'm pronouncing the words right, what I'm more worried about is the melody of the speech, you know? (I'm from Sweden, but lived two years in Seattle as a child.) Feel free to comment on other stuff as well, such as the speed and so on. Do I emphazise words too much instead of reading more evenly?

It's kind of strange to hear my own voice like that. I didn't know it was that deep, for example.
