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

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.

[sillie]

Hahaha. And I'm not as bad as some other Dutchies can be. :'D

I was so conflicted. Dean makes me snort at least twice per episode. How the hell can I choose? :')

Thanks for listening. :D

[cassiopeia7.livejournal.com]

Aww, bb, don't be embarrassed! You have a gorgeous voice and I adore your accent! Not horrible at ALL. ♥

*looks askance -- and waay UP -- at y'all tall folk*
*hugs you anyway*

[sillie]

Heehee, thank you! :D I'm always insecure because I don't talk English on a daily basis, so I always feel a bit rusty when I do. The longer I talk, the better it gets, but that doesn't help me on a meme like this. XD Glad it wasn't to horrible.

:D :D *hugs*

[tipsy-kitty.livejournal.com]

Hi! I love your art, so lovely to hear your voice. (I was pretty embarrassed too when I was recording, but I love listening to everybody's stories.)

[sillie]

Thanks! Yeah, it's so much fun hearing everyone's voices. :D

[stir-of-echoes.livejournal.com]

Hi, you. You have a lovely voice, and it's so good to hear you.

[sillie]

Aw, thanks!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Hey, I didn't know you did this meme, hi! *waves* I already know your voice of course, but I've never heard you speak English, so that was fun:) Your accent is nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be; seriously, I expected politician level double Dutch and you are doing absolutely fine, nothing to be embarrassed about, silly.
Ha, the apple pie quote, I KNEW THAT :-p

[sillie]

Hee, yeah. I didn't cross post this to my journal because I was pretty embarased. XD I don't know, for some reason I don't like the sound of my own voice when recorded. Hahaha, glad to know it's not to bad. I kinda feel like I could do better, 'cause I always need quite a while to really get into it. At JIBcon for example, my Enlish is a lot better on the second day, when I've switched my brain to English mode all the way. :P

Anyway, haven't had time yet to listen to your recording, but def. gonna do that soon!
