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!

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

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

You've been everywhere!

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

Teb your voice is sooooooooooo gorgeoussssssssssss.

[ar-richardson.livejournal.com]

I think the thing about the really emotional episodes like the s2 finale or Croatoan is that I can't rewatch them because I know, having watched ahead, that the boys will never die. The first time I saw Sam die in All Hell Breaks Loose, my tears welled and I went into a full body blush, thinking it was the lowest point for the brothers. Now I know it's just the first in their daisy chain of Suck, and I want to retain that first impression.

[bluestar1820.livejournal.com]

So stepping out of my comfort zone to do this, but I listened to a number of people and decided I wanted to try it. So

Here it is (http://vocaroo.com/i/s0dJmmYkw5vr)

[fiercelynormal.livejournal.com]

Yay for stepping out of your zone! You sound adorable! <3

[fannishliss.livejournal.com]

My recording is at my LJ. :)

http://fannishliss.livejournal.com/190913.html

[thursdaysisters.livejournal.com]

Just listened to your TV show/comic book list, WE ARE TWINS

[galwithglasses.livejournal.com]

So I gave this a go. It was the bravest thing I have done in months. Here ya go.

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0KxsYD8H2xw

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

Hiya, Kathy! Congress is truly the filthiest of words! :) You are also spot on about the creativity in this fandom, it never ceases to amaze me.

[woostersgirl.livejournal.com]

I love your accent, you are so adorable!

[whiskygalore.livejournal.com]

This is way way out of my comfort zone but I loved listening to everyone else's. I apologise for all the hums and the wavery voice... very nervous! I hope my scots is understandable!

Hope I do this right and the link works.

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

Excuse me, what about your sexy as hell scottish accent?JFC. /dies

[herminekurotowa.livejournal.com]

Hi! What a great idea to get to know people! ♥

Here's my recording, hopefully it works: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ugTGM0D9CP *bites nails*

[whiskygalore.livejournal.com]

You speak English perfectly!! I always wondered how to pronounce your username and I still don't think I could do it, cool story behind it though! Lol...I love being a fangirl too despite definitely passing the girl stage a year or ten ago! I always wanted to be able to sew, but much to my mums frustration the only thing I ever managed to produced was a mangled pillowcase. Your daughter might eventually go through a phase of not wanting you to make clothes for her... but trust me she'll get over it. Having a mum that sew's is an absolute blessing!

Well done for managing to do this without being interrupted by a nine month old!

xx

[kalliel]

So cool! Now I'm gonna listen to the rest of these, heee. :D


Audio and voice recording >>

[ramblin_rosie]

And here I thought I'd be the only one to go for the pun on "dirty word." :D Nice to hear you!

[dolnmoon.livejournal.com]

My voice at my journal (http://dolnmoon.livejournal.com/530189.html)
I am nervous and it's a bit fuzzy... hope you can understand me.

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

Totally agree with your view about Sam/Dean!

[morrezela.livejournal.com]

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0AZvr8GM5tM

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

I'm totally with you about Amelia. Same reason why I don't like her. Honestly, I wanted to strangle her when I saw that episode.


I like your voice ♥

[cleflink.livejournal.com]

What the fuck is 'srup'? Did you not notice the 'y' in there, JC? :P

Alas, I do not own a microphone so I cannot play. But I have enjoyed listening to everyone else's! Very interesting! And fun listening to the accents (even if y'all clearly haven't studied enough Latin). *grins*

[miss-marina95.livejournal.com]

So this got way long (20 minutes), and has very light editing. Mostly me babbling at you guys. :)

This is an awesome idea and I'm so excited to listen to people and I'm so glad I was able to participate!

My recording is here (http://www.mediafire.com/listen/9zdpp4fbm9mqfmv/miss_marina95_voice_meme.mp3)

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

Yoooou! This was great. I think we've talked about it before, but you and I have a very similar trajectory re: Spanish to English. Hispanic biddies unite! *high fives*

It was so great getting to learn what you sound like. :D

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

JC I WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW I HELLA SHIP YOU AND YOUR SISTER

ALSO I TRIED TO DO THIS FIVE TIMES WITH SOUNDCLOUD AND NOW I WISH I HAD JUST STARTED WITH VOCAROO, GODDAMN.


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

[keep-waking-up.livejournal.com]

Swan Song all the way! *high-fives*

[sillie]

Fff... I did this, although I don't know why. I don't really like the sound of my own voice and I'm always insecure about how my English sounds (I'm sure I've got a horrible Dutch accent XDXD). But anyway, I did it. Sorry about the uhms and me suddenly starting to talk reaaaallly sloooow. That was me internally freaking out and frantically trying to come up with what to say. :')


Record music and voice >>

*runs and hides* X')

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

I don't think I knew what a Dutch accent sounded like until now! VERY INFORMATIVE. :D

"Favorite Supernatural quote?" "Probably something Dean said?" I LOLed.

[an-cat-dubh.livejournal.com]

I totally get what you're saying as someone who lived in Japan for several years. I thought about doing this, but some of these questions are hard and involve much thought.

[an-cat-dubh.livejournal.com]

Because I'm a slacker, but better late than never . . .


Audio and voice recording >> (http://vocaroo.com)

[thestarkat.livejournal.com]

Here's me. I had no idea I say um as much as I do until I listened to this.


Audio recording >> (http://vocaroo.com)

My story rec was http://archiveofourown.org/works/1017905, since I forgot to mention the author name.

[sleepypercy.livejournal.com]

KAAAAAT. You said "about." and "toque" (shh, it's the little things that make me happy. I'm gonna get you to say more one day ^_^).

Lol, I think I knew absolutely everything you said already. But you sound beautiful, even with your sick, smoker-husky voice!!

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

I MANAGED TO CONVINCE MY BOYFRIEND TO DO A MODIFIED VERSION LMAO

(bonus: MORE ME!)


Audio recording >> (http://vocaroo.com)

[fiercelynormal.livejournal.com]

LMAO this whole meme was worth it just for this.

For a moment there I thought he had a foot fetish. ROWR.

LOL such a Samboy. That whole section cracked me up. Uh HUH.

Also yes, the Trickster! *fistbump*

[tipsy-kitty.livejournal.com]

Haha, your first thoughts about fanfic were mine too, but here we are :) And I think bewaretheides15 weecest was the first stuff I read too !

So, where's our half hour recording of dirty hungarian words??

[runedgirl.livejournal.com]

Omg this is so cool! What an awesome idea :) I am so technologically incompetent, I really hope this worked! (I could play it back, so hopefully that means something...) If it didn't work, someone let me know!!! lol


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

[majestic-duxk.livejournal.com]

it recorded :-) nice to hear your voice!

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

LOL. I love you in the background going "That's not your favorite episode."

Hehehe. Reading you tentacle porn! That's true love.

is that J-two?

Lol at the whole Sam section.

I'm so glad that your boyfriend did this. This recording is a thing of beauty.

Honestly, I think you two should start an internet talk show post-episodes to take over your solo recaps. You could just ask b/f questions and he could answer them. It would be amazing, and hilarious. Plz?

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Lmao, YES! We need a podcast where we recap the episodes together. Good idea :P

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh! This was amazing.

I loved you in the background being like "That wasn't your favorite episode"

Is that J-two?

Also true love: the man reads you tentacle porn.

LOL at the WHOLE SAM SECTION. Bonus: He needs to go to Alaska.

I think that you two should do a post-episode like 5 minute recording in which you ask boyfriend questions about it and he answers. Plz?
