spacetimeconundrumDecember's Grading Hell has officially ended in our household, thank goodness, and I was able to finish my dSSS gift in time (was a near thing, because I ended up having to help husband stay sane and keep working through the grade calculation madness)!
So naturally, today, instead of working on the mini comic I'm making for a second gift exchange I optimistically signed up for, and only have half done, even though I only have three more days to finish it, I did some experimentation with recording Dramatic Readings of a couple famous Tumblr posts. My thought being - I'd really love to record podfic, but since this isn't something I've tried before, it seemed like a good idea to try something small to figure out the software and other technical aspects of it.
Conclusions: Maybe this is a thing I could do? I have neither great equipment nor a particularly good space to record clean audio in, but the resulting recordings weren't unlistenably bad either, and the software is reasonably straightforward. (Listening to my own voice over and over again while editing was a definite twitchy moment though, that'll take some getting used to.) I'll probably make my first real podfic attempt using my own fic, but depending on my success there I may or may not be convinced to tackle others' fic (there are quite a few delightful podfics of dS fic out there that I've enjoyed, but there are also a great many amazing fics that have yet to be podficced, and I'd love to contribute there).
All of this of course, being a project for AFTER I get this comic completed, so stay tuned!
