amplificathonReader: anatsuno
Story: Fun with Comas bytoft
Fandom: SGA
Content: Might be a little triggering for those with a strong squick for dubious consent, but no actual dubcon or noncon.
Length: 50:37
Link: Audio Archive link
It feels a little bit like cheating, since I'd already listened to this podfic before the exchange. :)
Tone/Pacing/Reading:
Anatsuno's narrative pace and tone is even and calm, which helps make the dialogue and more emotionally intense narration stand out. She captures John's increasing unhinged-ness and Rodney's snark terrifically. And the sex scenes, of course. Anatsuno give a simmering sensual reading to John's imaginings that boils over both sexually and non-sexually at his confrontation with Rodney at the end.
Character voices were usually distinguishable by tone, and the conversations between John and Rodney in the last third of the story are great fun to listen to, though John seems to sound a little more John-ish when talking to Rodney than when talking with other characters. Jennifer's brief appearance sounds a bit similar to Teyla in terms of enunciation.
I'm used to Anatsuno's accent and am not really bothered by slight mispronunciations, but I caught one and wanted to look up the text to confirm that it was the word I thought it was ("crowed" at 42:38).
Volume/Sound Quality:
The overall volume level of the podfic was a little lower than I prefer but was certainly listenable with earbuds. Within the story the volume was pretty even except when the story called for it. I admit that Rodney's exclamation at 42:23 probably startled me almost as much as it did John.
Editing:
The editing was fine, I didn't notice any cuts that stood out.
Intro/Outro:
Anatsuno's audio header included title, author, challenge the story was written for, fandom, pairing, rating, word count, warning, summary, and reader. This is more information than I would have thought to include, especially the word count and challenge, though the latter makes sense with respect to the warning. She finishes with "The end", which I like.
Music/Sounds:
There were no musical or sound effects in the recording.
Other comments:
I love Anatsuno's reading style, her tone, and the flavor she gives to the characters she's voicing. This is especially evident in Rodney's "awkwardness" at 38:24 and John's desperation at 41:46, and she even adds Rodney's little yawn at 33:45. Provided that the story content isn't an issue, this recording can be a good bedtime podfic as well, if you know you'll be asleep by the John/Rodney drama at the end. :)
