Sound/Voice Meme for Doctor Who

[eve11]

So hey, I did a meme! This is a voice meme I snagged after a_phoenixdragon did a SuperNatural version of it linked from tebtosca here.

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 DW? When did you get into fandom?

- Who is your favorite Doctor? Who is your favorite companion?

- Pronounce the following words: Aunt, Route, Caramel, Syrup, Pajamas, Potato, Gif, Tumblr, TARDIS, Brigadier, Bad Wolf, Vortex Manipulator, Morbius, Ponds, Sonic, Eye of Orion, Susan, Polly, Pertwee, Eccleston, Adric, Capaldi, Clara, Medusa Cascade, Tereleptil, Cybermat, Vashta Nerada, Sweetie, Zygon, Dalek, Raxicoricofallipatorius, your favorite bit of anatomy, and a dirty word of your choosing.

- Share something you love about your primary DW ship. If you prefer, share something about your favorite episode.

- 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 DW quote?

- If you could travel to anywhere in Time and Space, from Earth history or any of the worlds on the show, where would you go?

- Do you have a hobby outside of fandom?

- Anything else you'd like to add?



There are several ways to record. I used Audacity and then uploaded it to tindeck. (You can also upload to soundcloud or other kinds of sites, but that does require having a microphone). Others have used Vocaroo 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 linked below. It's unrehearsed and upon listening I never realized I said "um" so much. But yeah, I totally do.

My recording

Possibly I will try an embed link?

Upload MP3 and download MP3 using free MP3 hosting from Tindeck.

Here is the link to my rec from the recording (Partial map of your TARDIS, subject to change): http://dwfiction.livejournal.com/2794749.html

Yay! Will have to listen to that, and try and make one of my own eventually :)

[eve11]

Yes, please do make one! :D

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

I will! Might take me a couple of days to get to it, but I'll do you guys the honours of my French accent and rambling ;)

[eve11]

French accents are cool!

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Everyone says that but the French! ;) (Accents are cute to everyone but those who have them as a general rule… haha.)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

I posted my voice meme but it doesn't seem to work?! To me at least… :/ Can you tell me if you can access it? :(

[eve11]

Hm, it's not working for me either. Do you have the direct link so I can go to the page? Then we can see if it's just a problem with the embedding or if it's with the recording itself.

[eve11]

Okay I'm grabbing the file from tindeck. My first thought is that you made it a .wav file and you might want to use whatever recording software you had used to export it as an .mp3 file and try re-uploading it to tindeck in that format?

Ah, I'm listening now from the download and hearing your voice fine :) (eeee French accent!) iTunes is telling me your track is 17:14 in length. However when I was trying to use the embedded it seemed to not know the length (started out saying 16 seconds, then like 32 seconds, then 24 minutes...). If you can export the track to mp3 that might work out better.

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the advice! 17:14 is correct indeed, I'll try to export the track right now =)

It seems to work now! :D

[eve11]

Awesome! I'll put up the link :)

ETA: the link is f-locked; should I link it here (publicly)? I could also put a link straight to tindeck.

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you :)

Edit: I made it public now =)

[eve11]

Ah we must have posted/edited at the same time. The link is f-locked ... should I link straight to tindeck?

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

If you want—whatever is more convenient for you!

[eve11]

I'll link to your LJ now you've unlocked it. Sorry we were posting cross purposes there.

(PS: You did great on the pronunciations! And I love your thoughts about fire and water and flowing for your username :) )

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Okay :) And thanks! :D

[eve11]

:D

I am only half-way through listening (hanging up laundry this afternoon as well), but am enjoying your responses a lot! I never made the connection between the Overflow and Florence and the Machine before, but now I totally see it :D

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Hehe, glad you enjoy hearing them! :D ♥
