Podfic: The Path We Choose- Master Post

[tenoko1]

This is my first attempt at a podfic, so feedback is GREATLY appreciated. I would like to improve with each one, also I think I got all the mistakes out, but if you find something clearly needing to be edited out, please let me know. I don't think there is though.

Title: The Path We Choose
Author: Tenoko1
Reader: Tenoko1
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete
Spoilers: Takes place after Season five with references through Season seven.
Pairing: Dean/Lisa, eventual Dean/Castiel, more to come
Format: mp3
Summary: When Dean finds the re-released Winchester Gospels with all new books, he buys them, knowing full well they will tell him what his next battlefield is going to look like. Though they tried proving Chuck's prophecies wrong and failed before, Dean wouldn't be a Winchester if he was just willing to accept that as the final answer.





There are now cover options, courtesy of draconic_girl. Please let us both know what you think!

Love your voice on the podfic! I'm ready for more chapters when you are. Maddie.

Aw, thank you! Glad to hear I'm not terrible at this. I haven't gotten any other feedback, so I wasn't sure what to think. I know there are a couple of things I need to work on, but I'll keep trying.

More chapters posted! If you friend my journal, it'll let you know when I post my public entries for updates.

[maddie50.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the invite. I added you as a friend. Consider me a faithful, non-stalking fan. =:-p

lol It's always nice to know who keeps tabs on me and to get feedback, so I don't mind.

Wow, the audio version is great! I started over at chapter one, and despite knowing what will happen, it really captured me from the first minute!
Your voice is really pleasant to listen to, and despite the slight accent slipping in it is very clear and very understandable! And the accent is quite endaring ;) Also, the emotions really come across. I can tell this is made with love and devotion. This is better than some professional audiobooks I've listened to! I'll immediately start with the next chapter, I love the audio version. I've honestly gotten goosebumbs while listening to it, and no, I'm not exaggerating!

I'm probably not going to comment on all chapters again since I have provided feedback to the story already. But I'm going to tell you if I have any suggestions ;)

[tenoko1.livejournal.com]

Oh good! Thank you! Yes, it was made with a lot of love and devotion, especially as more characters get incorporated and I'm changing characters back and forth which gets hard. XD I'm kind of a perfectionist, so I tried really hard on them, and I think it better illustrates perhaps what it sounds like in my head and I might not have properly put down on paper.

No worries on commenting on all of them, but lemme know if anything stands out to you. ^_^

I'm less than a minute in but I love it so far! I giggled when you said just savouring it. Perfect! I can't wait to listen to everything. You go girl <3 edit: oh, and no worries about the accent. I barely notice it - and we have all sorts of accents in the podficcing community. French, German, British, Australian, and I'm sure there are some Texans too :D

Aw, thank you. I'm really glad you like it. It's a learning process. I just hope I get better not worse with time. lol

I'm only to chapter nine but I'm really loving this so far! There's just so much going on!

Your voice is very lovely as well, and your accent is just adorable! Where are you from? I'm not good at accents so all I can figure is it's somewhere in the south ;p

Also I'm very impressed with how fast you can read and yet still make it understandable, if I tried to talk that fast it would come out a total slur!

[tenoko1.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm really glad you are enjoying it!
Your voice is very lovely as well, and your accent is just adorable!...Where are you from?
Aww, thank you! Now I'm all embarrassed. I'm from Alabama, so yeah, got me a bit of a drawl. lol

lol Does that mean I talk too fast? I suck at pacing, I have the same problem when jogging. I have to force myself to go slow, and it's just aggravating because I want to bust out in a run. It helps that I memorize stories pretty easy and can quote movies and books (if I like them) usually after one viewing, and being that I wrote the story, I know how it sounds, so it makes it easier. You'd be surprised how many mistakes I edit out though, and how often I have to repeat lines.

[eridanie.livejournal.com]

Oh Alabama! So exotic! I know absolutely nothing about it. I think that's almost as far away as you could get from where I live (Oregon) and still be in the states :)

"Does that mean I talk too fast? "

No not really the overall pacing of the podfic is a pretty normal speed it's pretty much just when you're reading as Dean and he goes on a rant, that's when you read super fast. I just assumed it was a characterization thing :)

I imagine it would be easier to read your own writing. I know sometimes I get tripped up because the way a certain line is written feels awkward to me because it's very different from the way I would talk, or phrase things.
