Final Day of Amplirecathon: Self-Rec Post

[klb]

And here is the second of today's two Official Mod Posts. If you are a podfic artist, then one of the bodies of work you know best of all is your own! In the comments below, rec one (or more) podfic(s) of yours that you think stands out, that you want to particularly direct listeners to. And explain why! Interpret the prompt in any way you want—just name a work of yours that you love and talk about why.

OK, this is really hard for me. AO3 is telling me I have 65 podfics so trying to come up with one to rec of all of those is really hard. And the podfic of mine that I'm currently most proud of, is a WIP I haven't posted yet, so I think, instead, I'm going to talk about some of my podfics that have historically held the place of 'the one I'm proudest of' (skipping over my earliest ones :S).

In From the Cold (J2)
This is one I recorded with my roommates. We kind of stumbled into this podfic, but still managed to split the story's POV shifts up between us in a way that we could all voice our strengths. We were each able to bring our best to our character(s) for this podfic and I think that really shows in the final product.

One AM (AI8 RPF-Kris/Adam)
This the first American Idol podfic I posted. I was so excited to join a new fandom and very proud of how I read Kris being clueless and how resigned Adam was.

From Adam to Kris (AI8 RPF-Kris/Adam)
I just enjoyed reading this one so much. And this story made me realize that reading crack worked for me. The flow of reading this felt like it had so much energy and I feel like I was able to get the lines how I envisioned them in my head.

Girl, You're Like a Weird Vacation (AI8 RPF-Kris/Adam)
This story has a lot of personal meaning to me, and as such, I took a lot of care as I read it. I really tried to embody the emotions of each scene and I think, especially near the end, I succeeded.

Undercover (AI8 RPF-Kris/Adam)
This is a podfic that I struggled with at times when recording (like, I remember having to walk away for more than a day at one point, because I just couldn't read a line properly), but I managed to overcome those struggles.
I also started recording this fic when it was still being posted as a WIP, and read the last few section cold, which I think added to the atmosphere, because Adam keeps trying to convince Kris to run away with him, and Kris keeps saying no, and just like Adam, I was never sure what Kris was going to say, never sure if the story would have a happy ending or not and I think that uncertainty ended up working well for the story.

Yeah, self recs! Good for you!!! I love all of these but given that the first one was recorded FOR ME it has a special place. I couldn't listen to it at first, bc of the mental issues, but when I finally did, I was wowed by the point of view shifts and the three different but equally beautifully accomplished readings.

And Girl? You know how we all kinda dislike the feedback, I don't like X but yours... Well, let's just say I'd never would have listened to this story if I hadn't trusted you and then several people just raved about it, and was I ever glad that I listened to them and the fic...more than once :)
