Talk to me, baby!

[tebtosca]

Hello my lovelies! The awesome samena brought to my attention this super fun VOICE MEME that was going on in the HP fandom (among others) and I thought it would be something that we would all enjoy in the SPN fandom! The show is still on hiatus this week, so what is a better substitute than listening to each other ramble on about it (and more importantly, ourselves), amirite?

The internet is an amazing place that has allowed us to communicate and share with each other, but there is just something about listening to someone else's voice and getting to know them through the things that make them unique. Cadence, accent, the amount of times someone says "UM" -- all of those things are a delightful way to appreciate the friends you already have and the friends you are hoping to make.

The instructions are super easy: record yourself answering the questions below the jump and then post it in the comments!

- What is your username, and where did you come up with it?

- Tell us where you are from and something about it

- When did you start watching SPN? When did you get into fandom?

- What is your favorite and least favorite episode?

- Pronounce the following words: Aunt, Route, Caramel, Syrup, Pajamas, Potato, Gif, J2, Kripke, Impala, Castiel, Lycanthropy, Croatoan, Wendigo, Exorcizamus Te, Jus in Bello, Malleus Maleficarum, Hunteri Heroici, Azazel, Abaddon, Enochian, Leviathan, Succubus, Crocotta, Rugaru, Pishtaco, Grand Canyon, Mr. Fizzles, your favorite bit of anatomy, and a dirty word of your choosing.

- Share something you love about your primary SPN ship. If you prefer, share something about your favorite character.

- Share a favorite story or piece of art/vid (with fandom/pairing/author) that you think everyone should read or view.

- What is your favorite SPN quote?

- If you they could shapeshift into any SPN character for a day, who would they be and why?

- Do you have a hobby outside of fandom?

- Anything else you'd like to add?

There are several ways to record. I used Vocaroo because it was easy and free and let you get both an embed code and direct link with a few easy clicks. That, however, does require some sort of microphone or recording device, as does Soundcloud. Your iPhone or other device might also have built in sound recorders that can work. There is also a way to make a recording via your phone on LJ if that's easier for you.

My recording is unrehearsed and stream of consciousness and sincere and dorky and utterly ME, so if you have ever wanted to get to know me, listen here! It's so long that it's practically a podcast but my enabler fiercelynormal assures me that my ramblings are very representative of my personality lol.

I'm positive mine will be the longest recording in this meme, so please don't feel like you need to ramble on as much as me. Or if you want to, go ahead and beat me! It doesn't matter how your voice sounds or if you aren't a native English speaker or if you have an accent -- this is fandom, we are all dorks here!

AND SPECIAL BONUS: JC'S BOYFRIEND'S RECORDING!



The key is to HAVE FUN and get to know each other, so let's get to it! Please feel free to pimp this out on your own journals -- the more the merrier!

Note: I would say that anyone being a dick in the comment section is going to get President Collins mpreg fic in reply, but I know that's an incentive for some of you dirty birds :P

ETA: LJ is sending random comments to spam, so if it happens to you don't worry! I'll unspam it as soon as I see it (I'm checking periodically)

LOVE YOU ALL IN ADVANCE! <3

[fiercelynormal.livejournal.com]

That recording is TOTALLY you, JC! LOL. I am here with mine! It's actually the SECOND version I did because I stupidly didn't test a recording before doing it the first time and my mic wasn't enabled. SO! Have some Canadian.

Fiercelynormal (http://vocaroo.com/i/s0a4LkGIFNHS)

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Something ABOOT it. So adorably Canadian, my maple syrup-drenched delight <3

[blackrabbit42.livejournal.com]

Joe Biden? Where's the VP Joe Biden mpreg fic that you know you want to write?

:)

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Who says I haven't already written it??

[blackrabbit42.livejournal.com]

Record and upload audio >> (http://vocaroo.com)

Not sure if this is the right place to post this?

That was fun!

:)

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

This is exactly the right spot -- LOVE IT! Is it weird that you sound like I pictured it in my head? haha

Thank you for playing and come back to listen to everyone else! <3

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

hope this is right???

[siennavie.livejournal.com]

Karate! I love the random facts we might never touch on in fandom :)

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

(Hides under a rock) Dont listen to this with your volume all the way up, my microphone is more potent than I remembered!

Also I talk fast; that's a Dominican thing xD



Record and upload voice >> (http://vocaroo.com)


ETA: Your voice is freaking sexy.

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Your accent is 1000% adorable haha :D

Re: you ETA...you think Methhead Minnie Mouse is sexy? You kinky bitch :P

[siennavie.livejournal.com]

I recorded my bit, and then somehow managed to close the page o_O !@#$ I don't know if I have the will to do it all over again...*headdesk*

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Noooooooooooo! You can do it again, c'mon! Second time's the charm *\o/*

[lemanya.livejournal.com]

Uh, are you me? Agreement on so many things here!

Also: here, have mine. I came out of self-imposed low-lj-activity just for this!


Record audio or upload mp3 >> (http://vocaroo.com)

Shall pimp when I get more sleep.

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

I adore your accent! I wish I was a classy Australian that didn't say "UM" and "YOU KNOW" every other word haha :D

Yay for coming out of LJ hibernation! I'm so happy you decided to join in and have fun listening to the other recordings too <33

[jennytork.livejournal.com]

I apologise for bleeding ears.

Here tis. (http://jennytork.livejournal.com/666535.html)

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

I love your accent! And I'm glad the LJ recording option worked, that's good to know :D

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

I say "Um..." a lot! Also, maybe spoilers...and boring...and offensive...maybe skip this one : / x

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

Oh stop!!!! I'm listening in a bit, I'm spreading them out so I don't sit here all day ;-)

[meesasometimes.livejournal.com]

I completely feel like I know you now, that was awesome! I now have to try to use a hard "O" when I'm saying your name in my head instead of a soft one, hmmmmm tricky.

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I confess I was going "tebtawsca" in my head, but now making sure it's the right way *oops*

[geckoholic]

I was gonna do it, but, technical difficulties. Ah well, that'll spare you all my broken English with heavy German accent. XD

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Noooo, I want to hear your surely awesome German accent! Make it work, bb :P

[thursdaysisters.livejournal.com]

Love this idea! Lemme know if the link breaks :)

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

lol dirt in your diet. I think Atlanta might be for me too. If I ever leave the coldness of Massachusetts, it will totally be one of my first choice :3

Oh god that scene with Cas eating the meat almost make me want to puke xD

[etoile-etiolee.livejournal.com]

I just listened to me and it's horrible but I'm still going to post it ;-) English isn't my first language and gosh, does it show....
There are a lot of "huh..." and stuff, so sorry. Also, I have tonsillitis right now and my voice is all... wrong.

I Tried to be honnest and true to myself so, there goes.

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0u76W5PhVPt

[etoile-etiolee.livejournal.com]

Hum... I'm adding a second link in care the first one doesn't work

Okie dokie, here's mine... I always sound totally different from how I sound inside my head...

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

Amber, Amber, can I marry your voice and accent please?

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Record music with Vocaroo >> (http://vocaroo.com)

Seriously, is there anyone who enjoys listening to her own recorded voice? I sound like I've been sucking helium. JC, you are a cruel woman for forcing us to do this. ;P

[ldyghst.livejournal.com]

I am completely self conscious now about how hard I breath when I talk. hehe It's like Darth Vader!

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

So I did this and wasn't going to post, because ugh, sound quality on my mike is terrible, but then I listened to yours and it was all fuzzy about fandom and such. So, you're not alone, and for people who like the sound of a disapproving* Brit voice sounding like a transatlantic call from the 1940s during bad weather, mine is here:

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ZNtAwIwmNE
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1h4jlO4jO8p
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0djxXV6mxB3

There are three of it for reasons. Spontaneity? Bad planning? Incompetence? You decide.


*My boyf almost has a fetish about this - I really don't sound this snotty and posh in real life, but on recordings, my mother on a really bad day comes out of my mouth.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I don't sound at all posh in my head yet somehow, there I am...

And you do sound like a 1940s recording, how weird! LOL

[ldyghst.livejournal.com]

Record music with Vocaroo >> (http://vocaroo.com)

*hides*

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

You know what's weird?? I think you and I kind of sound alike! You don't ramble as much as me (who does??) but our vocal tones are similar lol

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

Online recording software >> (http://vocaroo.com)

it is super bad and embarrassing and i feel very dumb now. *sigh* *shrugs* No, i am not 12 years old either, no matter what the evidence suggests. Eh, well, it probably explains why I hate talking to people - I tend to come up with the clever and funny things i should have said, like, 10 minutes later, when it doesn't matter anymore.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Me too! Except sometimes I only think of the witty thing to say DAYS later! LOL

[pushistyj-koshk.livejournal.com]

You have a beautiful voice :)

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

You're so sweet, thank you! <3

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Mine's not showing - apparently I'm spam. And I totally forgot the bit about getting into fandom. Doh!

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

I just de-spammed you! \o/

[deanshot1]

I don't have a built in microphone on my laptop. :(

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

There is an option to do it on Livejournal through your phone! Check it out HERE (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faq/183.html)

[batman-mcghee.livejournal.com]

Unedited and in one take. I only listened to the first 5 seconds to make sure it plays, so I'm sorry if it's crap.

http://batman-mcghee.livejournal.com/data/phonepost/389.mp3

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

I love your voice! And I agree that anything by raeschae is awesome!

Thank you for playing, bb! <3

[timbolino2.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I did it...


Record audio or upload mp3 >> (http://vocaroo.com)

I'm so sorry for saying 'humm' a lot and for my terrible accent *goes in hiding*

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

You should never apologize for your accent because I love it! It's so gentle and pretty, and I obviously adore the Italian <3

[timbolino2.livejournal.com]

Mine won't show, I must have done something wrong :O

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Yours is there! LJ keeps being a pain and sending some to spam lol

<3

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

<3 your voice is awesome :) and wow, after listening to this, i realized that I sooooo did not do this well, you, like, told your whole life story in 23 mins and i gave practically nothing... and also, i thought i will be the only one who will wanna shapeshift into a random girl who has sex w the main characters :) It was fun to listen to all the stuff you shared <3 (lol, my fave part is where you tell about how you and sis are the same as Sam & Dean, except how you then write incest porn about them :D ) this meme is an awesome idea (when it is not me who does the talking :))

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Thanks, bb! And the only reason I ended up giving my life story (or lasting 23mins lol!) is that I ramble like crazy haha. But that's how I talk in real life, so at least it's fitting, right?

Going to listen to yours NOW! <3
