Talk to me, baby!

Hello my lovelies! The awesome [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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

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

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

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

Thanks! My name is entirely my husband's fault (as are many things!). Kurotowa is an anime character, I think, and Hermine is pretty popular now because of HP's Hermine (Hermione) Granger. I think you would pronounce it Her-My-Nee but I wouldn't. :P

My big girl started refusing to wear dresses and skirts as soon as she could say No, so I only could sew princess dresses for her friends . *sighs* But now I have a seond chance!

Heh, I recorded after 11 pm, after my first nap of the night. Usually, I fall asleep at 10.30 while reading my fanfiction. *rolls eyes*

wonderful, wonderful, it was so great to listen to your lovely voice, your english is superb :)

and you have a sweet little one to sew for, I'm so jealous, I had a boy and I made plenty of overalls and such but I really missed out on the dresses, I guess that's why it's my profession now :)

[identity profile] herminekurotowa.livejournal.com 2014-04-11 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

I also have a big girl who's running for the hills when there's a dress in the room. >.< She's more like a boy so she has problems with her friends doing all the girly stuff. Though she's totally into those weird Disney comedy shows.

I so envy seamstresses who can make the most beautiful dresses from scratch. ♥

[identity profile] tipsy-kitty.livejournal.com 2014-04-13 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
You're so adorable :) Theoretically, I'd like to be able to sew but I know I'm terrible at measuring and cutting with any kind of precision. (Even when I wrap presents they look like train wrecks.)

[identity profile] herminekurotowa.livejournal.com 2014-04-13 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Just use the ruler Sam keeps beside his bed. XD

[identity profile] ashtraythief.livejournal.com 2014-04-13 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
You're lovely. And your english is very good :)

[identity profile] herminekurotowa.livejournal.com 2014-04-13 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I learned it by reading fanfiction. :P

[identity profile] siennavie.livejournal.com 2014-04-13 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That's cool that you sew dresses! My mom made, still makes, clothes for me and I love them. I never really got into the needle and thread thing, but I appreciate the skill!

[identity profile] herminekurotowa.livejournal.com 2014-04-13 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It's great to make dresses and quilts and stuff. At the beginning, you have only pieces of fabric and when you're finished, it's a beautiful little princess dress, making little girls squeal. I like that. :)

[identity profile] siennavie.livejournal.com 2014-04-13 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
My niece calls my mom's dresses exactly that! Princess dress :) And I still have one of my own that's over a decade old in my drawers.

What a gorgeous accent, also HI!

[identity profile] herminekurotowa.livejournal.com 2014-04-14 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi! You didn't hear half of it. I usually eat brread and crroisants, I was pretty surprised that my trademark RR was quite gone in the recording. O.O

[identity profile] jj1564.livejournal.com 2014-04-17 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm still working my way through these and just listened to yours, your accent is lovely and you speak English really well, I can't speak any other language ( except cockney!!) so I am in awe of people who do it so well. It's been such fun getting to know other fans this way, especially those I've swapped comments and e-mails with. I agree with you about not understanding people who are so critical of the show - as you said, every episode has it's merits. And every episode has Jensen & Jared in it so what's not to like!

:)

[identity profile] herminekurotowa.livejournal.com 2014-04-17 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)


I'm not overly critical with anything. I say, live and let live. That's why I can't comprehend people who say, I only read bottom!Dean, or, I never read gen/het/slash. They miss out on so many great stories because of that.
