Pod-aware day 1: How we podfic

I have feelings about the latest episode of Merlin. However, today is the first day of pod_aware 2012!


Help spread the word on podfic (you don't need to be a podficcer to join in!).
pod_aware || pod_aware)

There are so many ways to create podfic and so many ways to listen. We might engage with podfic curled up in bed, in our closet, while commuting or at the gym, in our bathroom with makeshift soundproofing. To find out more information on podfic and how we podfic, check out Pod Aware on DW, LJ or Tumblr.

At that post you can download two podcasts of podficcers talking about their process. There are links to some other posts and podcasts and other works in the comments. [ETA NEW FAVORITE: COMIC BY crazybutsound.] Here I will talk a little bit about how I make podfics, though another part of this conversation is how we listen to podfic.

PSA OUTSIDE THE CUT: DEAR AUTHORS, IT'S OKAY TO SAY NO TO PEOPLE REQUESTING TO PODFIC YOUR WORK. IT IS NOT OKAY TO ASK A PODFICCER TO AUDITION SO YOU CAN DECIDE WHETHER THEIR VOICE/ACCENT/WAY OF READING IS GOOD ENOUGH. THANK YOU.

( Oh god I still haven't even gotten to recording I will never finish this post )

And that is the story of how I make and post podfic these days!! Tomorrow's topic is Podfic Fandom, which is my favorite fandom hooray!
