Podfic: Flowers of the Forest

[altariel]

Encouraged by toft_froggy and various other posters to this journal, I've taken the plunge into podficcing.

I've started a community, tolkien_podfic, and I'd love it if other people did some readings too, either of their own stories, or of their favourites (ask the author's permission first).

At edge_of_ruin's request, and because it's very short, I've started with a piece called Flowers of the Forest. It's a bit of a scrappy recording (sorry about the pops), but I'm learning as I go along!

Either go to this post on tolkien_podfic, or else get it straight from Megaupload here.

And please do pimp this community far and wide!

Ooh, downloading Audiocity is top on my list of things to do once my laptop's back online. I'll play!

Hurray! Audacity was incredibly easy to use. Hope you record "Rose Riddle", one of my absolute favourites.

Oooh, an interesting project - and a moving start. Thank you, A.

Btw, if you get into this, and you want a permanent location for your files, I have a server...

Glad you enjoyed, gb.

I'm hoping to post at Jinjurly's audiofic archive, but I might just come back to you on that offer - thank you!

Whee! I will look forward to listening to it! I haven't really written any Tolkein fic myself that I'd not be ashamed to air, but I might think about reading someone else's.

It's a bit of an amateur recording, but I suppose you find out what you need to differently by trial and error. It would be great if you read some Tolkien fic: I want a whole library of things read by my friends. This is such a cool idea and I'm really glad you inspired me to do it! :-D

I finally managed to download. Thanks so very much! It's just magical to hear you reading it. Thanks, thanks and thanks again ;-)

I'm so pleased you like it! :-D Firimar next, I think! Gosh, this is so much fun!

Oh, that was lovely. It's a beautiful reading, and hearing the emphases gives the story a different quality in the memory.

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it :-) I'm going to try working on getting rid of those pops, and also on speaking slightly more quickly. I used to gabble when I was lecturing, so I think I over-compensate.

Perfect icon.
