Podfic: Of Dice and Jen(sen)

[diurnal_lee]

I recorded podfic for 7pennies (aka countess7 and pennyplainknits) in the inaugural Podbang challenge, and being me, I had to go for a 70k fic. *eyeroll* Having done it, I can now back up and try a short one, see about getting a better sound quality and really learning how to edit without overwhelming myself.

I think it's a tolerable first effort, even though to me I sound like a schoolteacher reading in church on canadian TV. And I'm very, very glad to have completed and posted something.

Many thanks to epeeblade for letting me mangle her story, to the podmods for running the challenge and allowing me a much-needed extension, and to kronos999 and paraka for enabling and general awesomeness.

I very much enjoyed listening to this podfic. :D I really liked the way you read: very patiently, very carefully, and it made me feel like I got to savor each moment of the fic. Which was awesome, since I absolutely did not want it to end. I thought you did an especially nice job quickly transitioning your voice to correspond to Jensen’s different emotional reactions, which tended to shift frequently. Also, I loved your voice! ♥ You’re Canadian, right? :3 It was really a pleasure to listen to you read. Thanks for recording this!

Thanks so much for you comment! I'm glad to know that the pace worked for you, and that some emotional acting came through, especially since I love the care the author took to really show what Jensen is feeling. It was challenging to get that across while he was slipping in and out of Dean.

And, yup, canadian as charged. I think all the different readers' accents are half the fun of listening to podfic!

I wanted to stop by again (more than a year later!) and tell you how much I still enjoy this podfic. :> :> :> I love it so much, it is such a great story and your reading is so sweet and wonderful and emotive and comforting. <3 <3 <3 I recently finished another re-listen of it, and it's all fresh in my mind. I wanted your reading to go on forever!

Also, I (finally!) just left some feedback on In From The Cold, but I wanted to make sure to stop by and leave you some feedback specifically. That's one of my favorite podfics ever, and I listen to it a lot when I'm falling asleep at night. I love your reading of Jensen SO MUCH! omg, there is just something about the way you read his POV--you capture him incredibly perfectly, and you make me want to wrap him up in a hug and comfort him. <3 <3 <3 <3 I listen to that podfic--particularly scenes in Jensen's POV--so much and I find it immensely comforting! I think your reading of Jensen is my single favorite performance in a podfic. That is how much I love it. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
