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

Whoot!!! YOU DID IT!!! Gotta legit do this myself now (and pass it on!) WHOOHOO!!

*HUGS*

After I have a listen of course...

[eve11]

I did do it! I sound like a goof, and a very indecisive one, but I did it. I'll see if jjpor wants to link to it on who at 50. Perhaps in the morning. I was at a friend's and didn't get home until 11pm tonight, didn't start recording this until after midnight! Possibly that explains much of the incoherence.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

OMG, you are adorable and I am doing this immediately!!! Taking my phone in the bedroom because...hubby is awake and I am self-conscious, lol!!

I hope it can be linked there...this is just too damned awesome to pass up!

Never incoherent! I love your name and how you came up with it and your ships and the fact that you are a twin and OMG, you are awesome!!

*SQUISHES!!!*

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

My link can be found right here, sweetie!! Got long-winded again...omg...cannae believe myself!! But we did touch on one of my fav subjects! *Beams*

This was awesome! Rock on you for pulling it together! I have a feeling this will be fantastic, wicked fun!

*HUGS*

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

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

[eve11]

Yay! I will put it up on the list!

[eve11]

Yes, please do make one! :D

[lordshiva.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd like to do this for my hypertext Lit class, maybe with people reading page paragraph sentence of something they've written.

Awesome, I will record later. Off to work now.

[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!

[eve11]

yay!

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

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

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

*Beams* SO glad you did this!! You doth Rock muchly! And yes, I'm still in love with your voice and your awesome self and -

*Wibbles happily*

[eve11]

Bah, my voice is nasal-y and weird to my ears. I try to make it sound fuller when I do podfic, but I was just talking naturally last night.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

I think you sound delightful!! *squishes you* I sound...like my mother *flattens ears in annoyance* UGH. But you have a lovely voice - and I just adores it!

[aoife-hime.livejournal.com]

That was really fun :) I might try and do that if I have the time to figure our the recording/uploading aspect of it (thanks for the tips).

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Yay! :D This was lovely! I like your voice ^_^

The story behind your username is fun! :D And yay astronomy! ;) I was into that as a kid, too…

[liadt]

You sound really cute. I didn't notice the "um"s. Your replies were very good and interesting. I was amused at your laughing at abs and British accent.

[eve11]

Thanks :) Yeah, the Eves were (as it turned out) experimental clones for developing genius children; there were eight Eves in the original experiment and then one of them escaped and started her own experiments, hence the little twins were Eves nine and ten. So I became Eve 11 :)

I think you are way better at answering the questions than I was :D

[eve11]

Cool! I think the easiest way is to do an LJ voice post: you just call a number on your phone and talk to it. But Audacity isn't too difficult. I haven't had any experience with Vocaroo so I'm not sure how easy it is for beginners.

[eve11]

I remember being very excited about seeing Halley's comet. My dad told us about it when we were little (we still lived in Maryland so we were under 5) and said, "It will come when you're eight". And we decided, well, we can go to the window and look out and wait until we're eight and we see it. We were probably like 4 at the time. :)

[eve11]

Thanks! It was a fun meme to do. :)

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

That is so cute :D

[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.
