indeedsir_backupHello there again all! In nearly record time for me, Here is a brand new shiney podfic for your listening enjoyment. I've taken the chance and went ahead to record "Jeeves & The Tale of Abington Chase." I can see some of you cringing to already. 'Oh Emp, why would you go out of your way to hurt poor Jeeves in clear glorius stereo?' you're asking. The reasons are neumorus and you can hear about them in the podfic's commentary.
Anywho, the podfic at hand. This is the last podfic in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skyblue_reverie 's main Jeeves & Wooster series. From here on out, It's nothing but one shots. Although, I'm not going to rush into anything. Plus, I gotta save my voice for waqaychay's Rocky Todd fic (Hint Hint, Qay: POST MORE! XD) So while I WILL be taking a shortish break from podficcing for the time, this podfic is a good deal longer than my other outtings, as well as having NEW and EXTRA musics. You can think of this as my...season finale, so to speak.

Date: 2008-09-07 10:14 pm (UTC)although i have to say that i found the piano music under the worst bits a little distracting. it was a beautiful piece and fit the situation just perfectly, but i think that would work better if you used other instrumental bits along the way, as it were. it seemed a bit odd to have just the one. or maybe that was just me.
CHOP CHOP! i can't wait for my turn! :D

Date: 2008-09-07 11:33 pm (UTC)thank you for the opinion. That's what experimenting is for. I really felt I needed just that much more of the emotional punch in the gut, but maybe it was TOO MUCH! If it comes down to it and NO ONE likes the edition of the music, I still have the version with the raw audio. If it's an embarrassment, I'll remix it with JUST the opening and closing music.
Babe, I'm ALL READY to bust out 'Rum Sitch'; I'm just waiting for you to finish it first!

Date: 2008-09-09 03:01 am (UTC)don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it was bad. i loved it! i'm just saying that it might have been more effective if you added in other background music pieces. i really don't think you have to redo it. maybe it's just something to think about the next time you do a long piece like AC?
i can't wait, myself! *lol* i'm starting on part three now. "three" being the optional word, if you get me. ;D
no subject
Date: 2008-09-09 01:09 pm (UTC)Yeah, Like I said, I was experimenting. I'll have to really go through and map out places for more musics next time *Is kinda kicking herself because she so could of put music under the first non-con scene and Jeeves meeting with Philip in the garden* And um...why are we still whispering?
*pumps fists like a fan at a sporting event* Awwwwwwriiiiight! Giggity giggity goo!

Downloading now. Thank you!

C: Are you alright?
M: Wha-? Ssst! Lemme alone! CAN'T YOU SEE I AM LISTENING?
Just kidding. I grumbled a humble apology, as civilized people do.
I love how you interrupted the harsh bit with that Evanescence song. Brilliant idea. I was really preparing myself for a kick in the stomach, but even if that song made it sadder, but also easier to listen to.
Oh, and Jeeves's baby voice. Much love to that. You put so much expression in Jeeves voice this time-even the older Jeeves! And crying Bertie.
Just, everything, amazing.
Well done, laddie! *pats you head* Well done! *rofl*
No really, super!
Re: OMGWAYTOOAWESUM.
Date: 2008-09-08 04:36 pm (UTC)Okay, well that's one in favor for the extra musics. I'm still trying to feel out if it was a good choice or not.
Daww, Big doe-eyed low self esteem Reggie! Don't you just wanna sunggle him?! Then back away awkwardly and assure him it wasn't meant to be a 'bad touch'! XD
And crying bertie wins. He just does.

Date: 2008-09-11 11:18 pm (UTC)I downloaded this thinking I would never, ever listen to it. But I did. And it made me pass two entire commutes in a complete daze. The voice of Jeeves getting choked up actually sounded like him, and so did Bertie while getting hysterical. And the evil butler's voice was so evil, it made my skin crawl. This story is, and I mean this with no disrespect to skybluereverie, so improved when you can hear it. I am on the fence about the use of the piano tune mid-story; it was jarring, but perhaps that is a good thing at that point? Hmmm, no, I think I would have rather heard only what Bertie heard, if that makes any sense. But it was an interesting choice, and I applaud you for attempting it. I think we should all push ourselves to make better and cooler sounding podfics, and this one certainly is wonderfully made.

Date: 2008-09-12 12:39 pm (UTC)Many thanks for this wonderful brick of words for me to munch on like a candy bar! It's quite delicious!
*knows your track record with commutes and my podfics and imagines*
"Ma'am, would you PLEASE move away from the doors!?" "THEY'RE RAPING JEEVES AND YOUR WORRYING ABOUT DOORS!!?" XD
*is floored* You really think I sounded that authentic?! wow... and yes, I am exceedingly proud of Highstead's voice. Skin crawling achieved! *pats herself on back*
as for being improved through hearing it, I definitely see where you're coming from. Sometimes when you read it your eyes just pass over it, but hearing it helps you experience it.
Thank you for your opinion on the extra music. I'm still trying to figure out myself if it was a good one. I saved the musicless track for a reason and I may edit it if no one enjoys.
*holds herself from fangirling over your lovely comment* SO THANK YOU!

Date: 2008-09-27 02:35 am (UTC)Now that you've finished this series, would you like me to compile all 4 podfics into 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've done hundreds of these including a few for
If you'd like me to, just drop me a line and I'll compile and post it (with links back to your own, of course).

Date: 2009-03-21 09:13 am (UTC)This is not to be listened to when one has not slept in over 24 hours!!!
*more bawling ensues*
You make this too real!
*drowns in tears*
*sniff sniff* Well done. *blub*
*wibble*
Ok...Lets see if I can pull myself together for a few moments here. Coherence check...one...two...good.
Just found all of these wonderful audio works and I can't wait to listen to the others. I love skyblue's works very much and I am pleased you have brought them to life.
Amazing voice work. Just. Amazing. The emotion you pump into each character, each situation is stunning. I really don't know what to do with myself right now. I'm sick to my stomach from the nose-breaking scene but some of that is mediated by Bertie's subsequent break-down.
I think there is more I would or should say but I just can't manage right now.
Thank you, though, for doing these!
*weeps just a little more*
