hardboiledbaby: (podfic)

Even though it's been a little over a year since my first podfic, I still feel very much the newbie (hell, I feel that way about my writing too, but that's neither here nor there). Despite that, I'd like to think I've been learning and improving as I go. Thus, my self-recs are my latest works:

Secrets Kept, Secrets Revealed [Sherlock Holmes - book 'verse] co-read with [personal profile] equusentric, written by [personal profile] hardboiledbaby
Equusentric and I collaborated on a short, dialogue-only ficlet earlier and thoroughly enjoyed the process. When she pointed out that SKSR was in alternating POVs and why don't we record it, I jumped at the chance to work with her again. Even though we don't record together, there is still an energy and excitement in doing a collab that you just don't get when working alone, and I think it comes out in the podfic. I'm hoping we can do more together :)

Blood on the Sun [Starsky and Hutch] written by [personal profile] kassidy62
I'd wanted to record this awesome story since I first started podficcing. However, I felt it needed sfx to work, and I didn't have the skills (seriously, anybody want to write an "Audacity of Podficcing Dummies"? I'd buy it!). Finally, I felt I'd picked up enough experience to try. I also lucked upon a great song that I thought was perfect for the story. I learned a *lot* about editing as I worked on this. I've still got so much more to learn (like how to make my mouth stop making stupid noises), but I think I really took a big step forward with incorporating music and sfx. It's nice to feel like I'm making progress :)
