On podfic

[altariel]

Specifically, the podfic I was after in a previous post is fanfiction read out (rather than audio books per se, although I'm going to get round to that too), whether by the author or else by My Friends. Which I think is a smashing idea. The ever-wise toft_froggy sent me to this site, but I see none of my fandoms *mourns* Shall I do some? What shall I do?

How much voice have you got? Would you consider doing A Game of Chess, assuming you want to read out your own work?

Una, qresearch.org.uk appears to have disappeared off the net...

Oh, yes! Do some!

I've actually considered this myself. I no longer have a very pleasing voice, and I think I'd be scared to read aloud some of what I've written. (Because...naughty! It was hard enough typing some of that, let alone reading it out!) But I think the "market" for audiofic will only grow and grow. I would LOVE to a) listen to fic read aloud by friends and b) read about your adventures in recording same.

And can I just add that your icon is cracking me up?

Thinking about it, I think I'd really love to hear Flowers of the Forest read aloud, but I know that might be hard for you to do. Perhaps sometime when the time is right and you're in the right mood. Or perhaps Mr A could do the honours. It's just that I think the language is beautiful and it really flows.

There must be a LoTR podfic community, surely - have you tried searching on LJ interests?

Off-the-cuff voice coaching going free here if you decide to do it :) Reading aloud's not always as easy as it looks and I'd be happy to help you hit a good standard. Cos, y'know, fanfic++, and altariel++, and stuff :)

I'd never heard of podcasting fanfiction. What a brilliant idea!

Why not do your favorite short piece in each of your fandoms, and see how it goes? It would be wonderful to see al your work in podcast form, but of course that's a very long-term project.
