Seeking beta-listener for my BB podfic (July)

[desireearmfeldt]

Would anybody out there be interested in beta-ing my Big Bang podfic?  It is (warning) THREE HOURS and change of F/K/V kink-negotiation by helens78 (Out of Nowhere).  I will have already done a round of self-beta-and-editing before passing it off to you.  Ideally, getting feedback sometime in July would be great.

I would be particularly gratetful for someone who can be fairly picky about the audio equivalent of spelling-and-grammar check: listening for departures from the text, mispronounciations, distracting mouth or background noises, volume weirdness and the like.  Comments about where the acting could use improvement would also be welcome.

Thank you kindly!

The thing that kills me most often in podfic (so far)?

"Fraser's shoulders" in Vecchio-pronounciation (though that s-sh combo is hard in any case).

(Which takes me back to Fraser. Two ways here: Fraser or Frrrraser. My grandmother (a Fraser from Dundee) used to laugh at my inability to roll the R. She'd say "ach child, you'll never make a Frrrrraser". To which I would tell her that if she didn't want English grandchildren she shouldn't have married an Englishman.)

Hee! I guess, technically, we're all pronouncing it wrong. :)

Fraser's shoulders - ha, yeah, very She Sells Seashells *g*

I did once have a short story podded that was full of botanical names, and wished they'd been harder ones, just for the entertainment value. Personal challenge was to get Pseudotsuga menziesii into a fic one day - which is how this damn BB fic of mine got started. Stupid thing that I should have remembered: the bloody tree wasn't even called that till later...
