Speaking of Podfic!

[soc_puppet]

alexseanchai surprised me last night with a recording of My Hope Lives in You, a super duper short Miraculous Ladybug fic I wrote a little while back. I am just so beyond flattered and touched and ecstatic over it, and it's a really good performance, too! Go give it a listen, if you're so inclined!

a really good performance

You have a good emotional range when reading, and know how to put what emotions where, and effectively; that takes skill. Plus, I could understand all the words you were saying. Really good performance: Confirmed. There may be some technical stuff you can do to polish things, but you've got the important stuff nailed, and there's tutorials and helpful communities for the rest.

*BLUSH*

(I'd blame Mrs. M with the theater guild, except I was only in two shows and a couple of the ten-minute plays at theater guild drunken shenanigans, and I did not have any lines in one of the shows.)

(though actually I'm tempted to go blame her to her Facebook face anyway, she'd love to hear it)

my post:

Me yesterday: None of the stories I'm writing are cooperating.

Me: I'm bored.

Me: I'm gonna try making baby's first podfic!

Me: *finds tutorials, picks under-300-word fanfic written by friend who loves podfics, records dramatic reading of, fiddles with, uploads*

Friend Who Loves Podfics: *squeeing and a string of heart emojis*

FWLP today: "a really good performance"

Me: 😲😊

…[tag Mrs. M] I am pretty sure this is your fault somehow

she left a laugh react and replied:

I would love to do Poe again. That was a great show.

(the show I did have lines in was a one-weekend fundraiser, all dramatic readings of Poe; I performed "Bridal Ballad", complete with white wedding gown donated by a theater patron)
