Pod Aware Day 4 - Accents

[weimar27]

Sorry for the lateness of this post. To make up for it, day four podfic can be posted until 8 am PDT tomorrow. The day 3 podcast is still being edited.

Now let day four begin!

To post a work for pod_aware, please include the following in your notes or somewhere easily visible to help spread awareness about podfic:

Every podficcer has an accent; sometimes that accent matches that of the canon character, sometimes it doesn't. Every accent is special and brings something to the podfic, it represents the podficcer and reminds us just how diverse fandom can be. Come celebrate accents and learn more about them in podfic at pod_aware on LJ or DW.

To make it easier for you, you can just copy and paste from here:

Mostly I love listening to different accents, though I have run into a very few over the years that I could not understand well enough to follow the story, which makes me sad. :-(

The only thing I don't really enjoy involving accents is when the reader tries to simulate one that isn't their own and doesn't do it well, which tends to pull me out of the story. Not, mind you, that I'm trying to discourage readers from attempting accents other than their own; some people do them very well indeed!

I think what it boils down to is that I like to listen to people reading/telling me stories, and a reader's accent is much more likely to enhance my enjoyment of a podfic than not.
