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

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

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

yeah, that too :D

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

You did good, Hun!! Not bad, or embarrassing. Your english is amazing! It's so lovely to hear the voice to put with the pictures : ) x

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

heh, yeah, because it is really not embarrassing to be unable to give any kind of valid or funny answer to half of the questions :D Heh, I am kinda sad that I don't have a typical accent because at least that woulda been hilarous :) true hu. accent is awful :D

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

Oh hush, yours is no worse than mine and you got the sexy accent. I couldn't give a straight forward answer either...it was really hard! Fun but hard : ) x

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

I did a redo. I sorry, i had to. I didn't dare to look at the length yet, but it is way less embarrassing. (probably still boring) but can I have a redo pretty pweeeease? :)


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

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

20 mins. okay, so anyone who is not super curious about me can just skip it because i am still boring, but i feel way more comfortable abt this one.

[thestarkat.livejournal.com]

Your voice is adorable, and you are not boring at all. I love hearing you talk. Hooray!

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

thank you :D my weirdo accent seems to be popular :D It is so weird, I never knew half of the weirdness before I listened to my rec o.o After that, I was totally reccing/listening/reccing/listening to the first chap. of Hitchhiker's guide and trying to figure out what is wrong with me, this voice meme is evil that way, I have never heard myself talking in English before :D apparently I can do less weirdness if I am trying for it :D

[gorkonelka.livejournal.com]

Hungary??? I love you :) Some of my really close friends are from Hungary :) We are going to JIB6 in 2015 in Rome, would you like to come with us?

P.S. - bewaretheides15???? Oh my god!!!! YES, underage got together. YES.

And J2 (exactly how I pronounce it)

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

Heheh, awesome :D Sadly I don't have the kind of money that is required for a spn con :( :( and yes, i know, with the first fics I've read written by her... I never had any chance to avoid the insta transformation to crazy slashfan :D The first thing I found was samdeanarchive, and there I have read her fics, like, 3 thousand times each, plus one of my other favorite authors there was PerfectByNature, whom I have just identified now as merihn as we speak :) Heheh, samdeanarchive has aaallll the pretty-pretty pwp wincest *dreamy sigh*

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

You are so freaking cute! I love the way you say "pretty" hahaha

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

Yaay! cute is good :) I can deal w cute :)

*Sam eyes* can u maybe change my link? :)

And aaaaall the times I say pretty :D It somehow comes from spn fandom, because it is a rather new development :) i think i caught it from the kittehs somehow or idek :D

[tebtosca.livejournal.com]

Already changed the link (I'm an awesome mod :P)

"pretty" is better than me saying YOU KNOW twenty zillion times haha

[fiercelynormal.livejournal.com]

Your accent is adorable! And now I'm so intrigued about swearing in Hungarian, you must teach me some!! <33

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

lol, idk, most of it is really fucking rude :) except for some light versions (which can get very creative, since you are, like, free to add the first 273 adjectives that come to your mind at the moment -aiming for funny- and then you add your actual curse word....) the rude stuff mostly has to do w cocks, horse cocks up people's ass, God's cock + anywhere you can imagine, + adjectives, your mom, who is a whore + any kind of sex acts imaginable, also featuring you & her, "fucked" "fucking" also plays roles... cunts also happen... so basically everyone and their mother is a whore & gets fucked (face fucking also popular). Oh, i forgot dads. they can also be featured and paired with anyone but your mom, obviously... *shrugs* "life" is also happening some, as a whore, mostly... oh, God is also a whore. and has a very active sex life. the really offensive ones are not really for me, but most of these can be pretty basic, like, an equivalent of "ha, ha, fuck off / go to hell/ you gotta be kidding / ouch i accidentally hit my toe and it hurts, no way - are you delusional?, stuff like that. the creativity comes in w the added extra adjectives that can vary from person to person, and the most popular ones change w different ethnicity/parts of country/family traditions :), etc)

[ashtraythief.livejournal.com]

You are the cutest!!!!!

Although I'm still not convinced about the drinking :D

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

yeah, I also think the drinking statistics is bull, my bet would be that the interviewees love to brag about anyting they can be the best at, no matter what it is, and tried to outdo each other when asked :D (i am pretty sure it was not done based on sells statistics, esp. with the popularity of home made moonshine) Also... *looks at kittehs* I am pretty bad at alcoholism :D a, I am always out of alcohol b, i can drink waaay less than you ppl before I die of alcohol poisoning :) Which, okay, you can say i am a lightweight, but when i drink together with other ppl from around here, i am really not even close to the low alc tolerance end :) (on the other hand, true, my rl friends are not really drinkers, so maybe not a good reference point). I know exactly one person who can function w over 2,5l moonshine/day plus lots of beer w.out ever looking tipsy. I think I probably shouldn't start practicing so I can beat him at it :D

[alycat.livejournal.com]

I just superlove how many people got into fandom for Monster at the end of this book. It really as Kripke shining a huge ass light on fandom going "We got gay incest, google it"...I mean, seriously. :D

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

IDD. They don't get to bitch about people slashing the boys when they practically asked for it :)

[samena.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should do a redo as well, but I'm not sure that it would be much of an improvement. This is just the way I sound, I'm afraid - especially when I'm recording my voice for total strangers. Heh. Oh well.

[kinkajou.livejournal.com]

well, it is probably the content that improved a bit, I mean, the first one has more ummmm... hehehe... idunno.... than any actual information :D

[siennavie.livejournal.com]

I sympathize with the username dilemma :)

And I find it interesting how people find their way to fanfiction and slash!

[samena.livejournal.com]

If you think (and I totally don't agree there, btw) that your first recording was bad, then I dare you to listen to mine. I ramble and I ramble and I don't say much, and I sound as if I'm half asleep. I was pretty nervous about doing this, and now, of course, I think I did it all wrong. So yeah. I'm sure we're not not the only ones who are insecure about this. It's pretty scary to put yourself out there like that. But I think the main thing is that we did it.
