[SPN Podfic] Not In Kansas Anymore

[ratherastory]

So by way of procrastinating on my Dean/Castiel Big Bang, I decided to do something nerve-wracking. I'm testing my boundaries, or having a mid-fandom crisis, I dunno. Anyway, back in the day when nwhepcat wrote Not In Kansas Anymore I thought it would be really awesome if someone did a podfic of it. And then sometime last week she posted giving people blanket permission to podfic her stuff, and I decided it was a SIGN.

So, uh, this happened.

I think it's pretty good for a first attempt ever at podfic. I've been told by reliable sources that the French accent some people claim I have isn't audible, so yay! Unfortunately my recording program picks up on my computer fan, and there's nothing I can do about that, but otherwise I think it works.

I had to learn a ton about recording a bit on the fly, but it was fun.

I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to elsewhere_kels who schooled me properly in the basics of podficcing: everything from which settings to use in my software all the way to podficcing etiquette, metadata, and how to differentiate between narration and dialogue without killing my vocal cords. She also discovered an accidental glitch in a previous recording, which I *really* hope is fixed now. I've listened to it so many times I'm kind of cross-eyed.

Also thanks to pkwench who also did a fair amount of hand-holding for me (you'll have noticed this is a recurring pattern).

:::ETA:::

elsewhere_kels made a PODBOOK for me! Because she is awesome!

Hee! I go in and re-record parts of it tonight, and do the final editing. After THAT, Cyrus goes in to master everything, and even out the sound. Once I have the master, which should be this week, I get it duplicated and the cd cover printed and all put together with shrink wrapping and everything. CD baby is going to distribute my CD online, and I have to figure out how to market the thing!

I'll think about the podfic. It would be a LOT of fun.

YAY!

On both counts!


Please please PLEASE think about the podfic! I know quite a few storytellers IRL, and I know it would be extra-awesome for someone who's an actual performer to read fanfic online. :D

I will happily write you a fic to the prompt of your choice, if you'd like! :)

Let me get the girls back in school, and we'll see what I can do. :)
