New Podfic: Wind from the South (by Nos4a2no9)

[arrow00]

Hey guys: I recorded Nos' Wind from the South
because I adore it beyond all measure. There is so much
freakin' emotion in this story, tightly packed down deep
beneath a layer of desolation so profound it's like an
avalanche. All drawn masterfully by Nos with her smooth
and stark words. It is to weep.

i've been maintaining a podfic archive here and i would really like to mirror and include this. what do you think?

yay, arrow! i love that story, and i'm SO excited about you making podfics! \o/ more please?

OMG, Arrow, you have a voice for podcasting, very sultry! You've got, like, cello undertones or something; mellow and rich, like really good coffee. I LOVED listening to it! I adore this story and you certainly did it justice.

Please, please, please trade off again!. I want to hear more of you and Nos has the perfect voicing to read yours. I always get an extra emotional jolt, and hey, I'm a Leo, we dig that kind of thing. *g* I weep and weep.

Listened to this now, and it's gorgeous, you have a great voice. Do you sing? Because I bet you'd make a wonderful alto.

The pacing is good, too, it's faster than mine, but part of the reason I go slowly is that I'm not a native speaker, I think. Anyway, the words come through quite clearly. The reading feels quite different from the way I did it, but it's hard to put my finger on what makes the difference.

Oh, and if you're thinking about doing Speranza stories--I'm doing "Four Virtues", it'll be finished soon. Just so we don't do the double thing again... *g*

Oh. My. GOD.

Your voice is this amazing thing that I have no words for. You read like you could have been recording a professional audio book, I felt like you'd started reading and just kept on going until you reached the end, that's how seamless and steady it was.

I've never read that story before and you made it into this whole *experience*, your reading added gravity to a story which is already fairly heavy going and sad. I felt like I was sinking into the bed, weighed down with Fraser's heaviness.

Your voice is so strange and unique and I adored it, please tell me you have another podfic in the pipeline. At this point I would download any fic you read. I would download you reading the phone book and end up crying by the end of it:)

You read so beautifully, and the story is so breathtaking.

Would you like me to compile a podbook for you? This just adds a cover, makes it automatically bookmarkable, and, for those with iTunes, moves it out of the Music folder and into a separate Audiobooks folder where it won't be seen or heard when browsing or listening to songs. It also then automatically shows up in an Audiobooks playlist on an iPod.

I know Nos can compile them as well and may want to make her own, so I dropped her a note about it.

Again, gorgeous work! I hope you read many more stories, including some of your own, of course.

Nos gave her permission for the podbook and sent me a lovely cover for it, so I uploaded here.

Would you mind if I posted the book to podslash, or would you like to do so?

I'm very much looking forward to your next podfic, both because I adore Ces' stories and I'm looking forward to hearing more of your lovely voice.

Finally got around to listening to this, and all those raves up there were exactly right.

I wept even harder this time, and I'd already re-read Nos' fabulous story twice.

You have mad narrating skillz--you know your way around a mic, and it shows. You do an excellent job with shifting voices without attempting to do each voice as a character. (Unless you're Jim Dale, it's not worth trying to do this. Hey, even if you are Jim Dale.) Your pacing is just right.

Mooooooooore!

I was recced this podfic, and after listening agree totally and will be reccing it myself. The story is amazing in the way it gets into Fraser's grief and depression and the cold, and your reading pulls the listeners into that world. Brilliant! Thank you.
