Podfic: A Marine Aubade, by septembers_coda

[brightly_lit]

My first podfic! septembers_coda asked me to podfic one of her fics, and, well, even though this one involved singing (! -- only a little, though), I picked it because it hits me so deep. I had to pause now and then throughout recording to weep softly--seriously. I edited those parts out, but you can probably still tell. :-}

Aw, honey, you don't know how much this comment means to me; I've been in such a crisis of confidence lately, especially relating to creative things, and this helped SO MUCH. It also means a lot to me because I've really worked on my voicework skills, kind of all my life, and felt like I'd truly gotten somewhere with it, and your comment makes me feel like maybe I really have! Everything you say in this comment is just SO what I needed to hear. And, such a wonderful compliment that I grabbed you from the introduction. :-D

SOO glad to hear I captured Dean; Sam's easier for me to relate to generally, and I actually had to re-record part of Dean's POV because I didn't feel like I'd gotten it right the first time, so ... it feels great to hear you feel I got it right.

And YAY, that you want me to record more! Gishing showed me how very much I love all things audio-visual, so podficcing, while (to me surprisingly) quite time-consuming, is also great fun. Let me know if you know of any fics you think would particularly lend themselves to it, and/or my style ...

Thanks again, bb.

Ugh, I'm sorry that you're feeling that way, bb, because that sucks out loud. :( I'm in a similar space of mind at the moment, so we can commiserate together. <3333

But as far as confidence goes, you should have all the confidence in the world when it comes to your voicework! All that work has definitely paid off, bb, because like I said earlier, this is amazing. I actually hit 'play' with the intention of putting away my dishes before sitting down to listen, and I... never actually got around to putting away the dishes until after the recording ended, because I didn't want to leave my seat!
