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

Awwwww, thank you for this lovely, heartfelt recording... <3
I totally want an audiobook of all of these, having listened to some :)

It was so great to hear you, bb.

I agree, regarding the gentle back and forth mockery, vs. the hurtful way the wedding episode portrayed fans.

Heh, I learned to say "fuck" from my mother as well, and stuck with it...

I love that you try to get a feel for J2, I believe i know what you mean, about sort of being in their head.

thank you for sharing a bit about the way you grew up. It amazes me how many people in fandom experiences similar things. I did too, weirdly specific similarities, and just similar demons. And yeah, it is weird to think about my ship when I think of my little sister :-)

I love the things you said about Sam and Dean, too <3

Thank you for doing this. <3

[obsidianromance.livejournal.com]

Okay....so I did this....and I am dying.....please don't tease me. Love me!

Funny thing, your voice sounds exactly like your bubbly personality.
Does Gavin regrets introducing you to SPN yet? XD

[obsidianromance.livejournal.com]

Oh, you have no idea how bubbly I can be. I toned it down. Usually when I say "hi", I sound like Alaska Thunderfuck. So.... (And only you would know that reference)

Gavin totally regrets it. Specially when I rewatch the shirtless, soulless Sam stuff. (S3)

Thanks for listening.

[2people2.livejournal.com]

Yay you did it!!!!

You're voice is awesome! and I loved your bit about "being the Impala because I would have Sam and Dean Inside of me" thing:) Made me laugh out loud :)

[obsidianromance.livejournal.com]

I did do it!!!

Finally! I am so glad you liked my answers. I try to be silly sometimes. I was so nervous to share my voice with the world.

Xoxo

OMG....Seriously...I am afraid of myself....

User obsidianromance referenced to your post from OMG....Seriously...I am afraid of myself.... (http://obsidianromance.livejournal.com/78039.html) saying: [...] So, you can go HERE [...]

Here's mine!

Jensen's face is a good reason to start watching for sure. Very cool to hear your stories, and I love your accent. Taco line is my favourite, too, and I'm jealous of your fridge magnet. :D

[storyspinner70.livejournal.com]

Lawd y'all...good luck listening to mine...lmao...i'm such a rambler...sheesh...

Anyway, thank you all for doing this, I loved listening to yours, and I apologize in advance for mine...lmao

[wings128.livejournal.com]

I haven't got the tech to create a recording but I wanted to take part, so I posted a written version (http://wings128.livejournal.com/142964.html) ;)

[viviansface.livejournal.com]

So I did the thing... and I'm gonna post it before I get too anxious. :)

This is totally late but I decided to do the voice meme. Here's (http://rirren.livejournal.com/6577.html) my recording.
Thanks for introducing this wonderful idea to the SPN fandom, tebtosca! :)

[cleflink.livejournal.com]

Late, late, late! But still here, which I guess counts for something. Listen to me ramble!

[fiercelynormal.livejournal.com]

You have such a radio personality voice! It was great listening to you :D

[cleflink.livejournal.com]

Like everyone, I can't help but find it incredibly weird to listen to myself - I don't really sound like that, do I? *laughs* As long as I don't 'um' too much, I figure I'm doing alright.

Thank you for listening! :)

[marciaelena.livejournal.com]

JC (tebtosca), I love your voice. I felt like I was listening to a radio broadcast while listening to you.

Hee, the bit about your boyfriend thinking he helped save the show back in season 1 is so funny.

Yeah, the first 3 seasons were the best.

<3

I know I'm a tad late to the party and I can't believe I did this but I had the time and was bored and probably a little stoned on caffeine so here's my contribution to the voice meme.
