Done with Disconnect!
Just posted the final two chapters of the podfic I’ve been recording of @tinsnip‘s Deep Dish Nine story “Disconnect.” Woohoo!
Let me tell you, it is epic. Not just an epic as a finale – totally killer writing – but epic as a task of recording and voice acting. I sat down tonight knowing the last chapter was long, but not quite HOW long. Chapter 7 was a mere 12 minutes, no sweat. But Chapter 8 is over an hour. And ¾ of it is super angsty monologs, while the rest is a super, super heart-rending conversation between lovers. Oh, and there’s an email that is like a stake through the heart. So basically recording it was like doing one very long cold read, by myself, in actor’s terms. I did it pretty much all in one take, too, just repeating over some flubs knowing I’d edit them out after. Then I had to edit the file (I use Audacity), which took even longer than recording it. But now it’s uploaded and between the two chapters the last chunk is 124 minutes long, And the whole podfic is 4 HOURS long. But I enjoyed doing it and, I think, it came out well.

Finally, thank you SO much to tinsnip not just for writing this, but writing so much other things that have provided me with such much enjoyment, pathos, things to think about and so much more.

Oh my goodness gracious, this is the best day.
Please listen. Wendy does a marvelous job at capturing the different tones, the reactions, the general feel of the whole thing. Oh, what a privilege to have this podfic’d by Wendy!
