amplificathonHi folks!
I'm relatively new to podfic and joined the community to get some good recommendations and listen to the works of others to improve my own drivel. I've been really happy and impressed with all I've seen (and heard) so far.
As I've been perusing the archives, I got to thinking. Podficing appears to be overwhelmingly female. Could anyone point me in the direction of fellow guys who podfic? ...If there is such a thing?
Ultimately, I suspect this is coming from a place of anxiety on my part. As a not-exactly-young-anymore fellow with a "femmy" voice, I'm waffling over the way I sound. My female impersonation is good. Really good--we're talking "Kurt Hummel from Glee," full-on Lady Voice, often mistaken for a woman over the phone. I've pretty much been recording with a female-style voice and have only just started to practice narrating in a lower register. I'm not happy with the sound. It might be nice to hear how other guys are coping with the enunciation and cadence issues which come with a deeper, less "crisp" speaking voice. If anyone has links or knows of men who podfic, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

You can hear my female impersonation and character voices HERE, along with my regular speaking voice, downloadable HERE. I feel like a prat, but whatever. I'll get over it in time.
