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

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

Voice Recorder >> (http://vocaroo.com)

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

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

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Just come over here, and you can have your pick coz everyone talks like me (well apart from the Welsh, Scots, rural folk from Cornwall, etc etc...)

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

you are a girl crowley, aceeeeeeentttttttttttt mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
and your rec is so cuuute and funny, I luv <3 and also, butt <3 butts are the best things *eyes icon <3*

heh, i re-tried my rec, and i am, like, 30% less embarrassing now, and more informative, probably :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh Crowley has a London accent! I'm slowly working my way through listening - so much fun!

[thursdaysisters.livejournal.com]

I love that southern accent...I wasn't a huge fan of the s8 found footage episode either, but it was a shock to look out that window and be like "holy CRAP those FBI agents are inhumanly beautiful"

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

I totally forgot about Bite when I was talking about episodes I hate, but now you have REMINDED ME AND I AM ANGRY AGAIN.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

You're awesome and totally easy on the ears, lady. ;)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

thank you! I can't find your recording now - I started listening but had to stop I was laughing so much having made the mistake of reading your description of you sounding like you'd swallowed helium. If you hadn't said that I wouldn't have thought anything of it!

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

All of you Brits are killing me. I want a British accent so bad lmao

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Heh heh, you Yanks and your love of our accents...
Have you seen this advert?

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh your voice is so gorgeous! <33

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Ya think? I'm surprised people like it!

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

SUCH a beautiful voice. Mmmmmmmm.

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

ooh, you have this calm voice! awesome.

[dephigravity.livejournal.com]

OMG I love your voice, it is so lyrical and soothing.

[cassiopeia7.livejournal.com]

Such a lovely voice you have. I LOVE that you'd be Ellen and whomp some sense into those boys, 'cause they surely deserve it. And hey, bonus!threesomes later. :D You've played hockey? Field or ice? :)

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

BLESS YOU FOR BEING THE ONLY PERSON WHO AGREES WITH ME ABOUT GHOSTFACERS.

[keep-waking-up.livejournal.com]

So cute! And you said fuck in your pretty accent! *happy dance*

[galwithglasses.livejournal.com]

It's really cool to learn that there are regional accents and you can identify north or south. Lovely to hear your voice.

[dolnmoon.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness that you did start watching because your talent is awesome in this fandom. Love your voice. The way you say Pajamas makes me think of Bananas in Pajamas. <3

Your vice is so sweet.

[siennavie.livejournal.com]

I'm going to shamefully admit that when I hear a British accent now, I picture a Hogwarts setting. I know, so horrible of me, but that was probably the most major exposure I've ever had to the accent, so my brain just associate the two...*headdesk*

Heart and soul! Yes.

Hockey - I'm too scared of contact sports...but that might be because I was usually the smallest girl in the class.

[geckoholic]

Ahhh, your accent. ♥ And haha, right? Mine does too. XD

[rockstarpeach.livejournal.com]

The show did look fairly ridiculous before we actually watched it :)

And YAY for The End!

[marciaelena.livejournal.com]

I always sound totally different from how I sound inside my head...

Don't we all?

I adore your accent. I love British accents, but when I speak English I try to emulate American. I guess because it's easier and I'm lazy? LOL

You said you're weird, but I'd say you're interesting, And anyway, even if we *are* all weird, isn't it great that we can be weird together? Fandom is so awesome.
