So [livejournal.com profile] wildernessguru says, "You make me out as having some great sexy voice, but really I'm just a regular guy."

Yeah. That's what's appealing. This is our test-run podcast -- we needed to start with something short. Next on WG's list: Cursed Artefacts For Sale.

Podcast Title: Shy Guy
Story Author: Icarus
Voiced by: [livejournal.com profile] wildernessguru (yes, an NC-17 slash story read by a man; don't say I never gave you anything)
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: pure sex.
Summary: An assignation. "Daniel took off his glasses and sank to his knees. One foot knocked against a bottle of bleach, while in front of him Jack shouldered between the clatter of a broom handle and some metal shelves."
Author's notes: Thank you Cyanei, for the beta and many helpful suggestions. What can I say? I wanted porn, so I wrote some. Beware, we had a little trouble with the mic.



Shy Guy Podcast

I think we got the entire file, but my server connection timed out. So let me know if it didn't work.


ETA: You want him to read more? Comment. Really.

I have never seen an episode of the show or read the fic, but I'm downloading. Why? Cuz the prospect of a guy reading an NC-17 story is too good to pass up. So yeah. Hurrah! *confetti* Tell WG thank you from us!

It's a PWP so you don't need to know the show at all, not to worry.

Tell me how it goes and if you got the entire story. Oh, and if you'd like more recordings by WG, help me out and comment. The man is motivated by praise. But aren't we all? ;)

You realise you are EVIL.

Btw ignore ranbly hormonally induced email and just laugh at me if you so desire. :)

Am going to let happy pills kick in, and then figure out how this "podcast" thing works.

Wonder if I can set up podcasting on my PDA

Omigawd! That was awesome! WG's voice is so husky and lovely. 8D

Oh, right on. So you got the whole story? (And yes, he has a great voice, not that he believes it. But he'll eat this up with a spoon.)

Yes, the upload was fine. :D! Though I think WG was a little too close to the microphone, haha. But still, wonderful!

Yeah, he kept breathing on it. There's probably a way to correct for the sound-spikes, but he doesn't want to read any more porn (or re-do that one) -- unless we can praise him enough and talk him into it.

I would love to hear more, the sound poppong is a bit distracting.

That might help with the technique and microphone issues.

He's got a great voice, but I think he needs to slow down a bit.

He was embarrassed reading the sex aloud and so I think was rushing to get through it. It's going to be difficult to convince him to read any slash that's explicit from here on out. In fact he said that he doesn't want to read any more sex stories aloud because it was uncomfortable for him.

When we discovered the popping, well, he wasn't willing to re-read "Shy Guy."

I'm hoping people will like hearing him enough that he'll loosen up about this -- he certainly likes reading my slash stories for himself. Thus far though, I don't think the response is positive enough for that to happen. So, this is what we get I guess.

The mic was not at fault, it's just not very sensitive and I found I had to hold it fairly close when I recorded "The Other Man" and "First Signs of Magic: Hermione Granger." However, when WG held it the same way, he breathed on it a bit too much and we got the popping noise.

No problem. I was slow to answer simply because this is my first week back at school, I've an assignment due today, and I've only till Tuesday to play with these computer toys, and I wanted to get the next part of Out Of Bounds posted. Busy, busy. :)

Thanks for the tips, by the way. We did all of that except for the first run-through -- partly because it was going to be hard to get him to read an NC-17 PWP again (heh, one reason I had him do that firs

Oh, man. You say he's gonna read some of your Snape stories? Good. Because Alan Rickman has nothing on him. Except the British accent. (Sorry, but West Coast accents amuse me to no end.)

Oh yes, WG is so California. I'm hoping to get at least Cursed Artefacts For Sale out of him. ;) The real question is how do I upload via dial-up a file that large? It took nearly three hours to upload this short story.

Hmm.

Darn it, on another subject, you ever get stuck on a word and it's just -- right there, but another word (the Wrong word) is standing in front of it like a brick wall?

Aha. Exposition, that's it! Sheesh...

The voice is good, but it sounds like he's too close to the mic or something - there's a lot of the hard sound of excess air hitting a mic.

I'm saving everyone's podcasts in a file marked 'people talk' which really should be called 'people read porn' and when I start going to the gym they're all going on my mp3 player to listen to while I'm sweating on an exercise bike!

Are you still looking for ice skating vids? :D

http://www.mojoflix.com/Video/Evgeni-Plushenko-Sex-Bomb.html -> there's a d/l link of this clip on the page, just remember to stop the video from playing if you can't stream it. Dude's skating to Sex Bomb and the audience is really enjoying his show XD

Wow...never knew Jack/Daniel was a fantasy of mine until I read this. Very much like they would actually be. Fantastic!

I haven't downloaded yet... but serious serious kudos to WG for doing this. <3

I really like WG's voice. Seems to fit this kind of fic. ;)

What's a bit unnerving is his breathing. Too close to the mic maybe?

Somehow it made me think of someone reading the news report or anything... *lol* Speaking a bit slower would definitely be better.
And some more accentuations, please? A bit more mood-like if you catch my drift.
If I hadn't read the fic while listening I sometimes wouldn't have noticed one sentence ending and the other begin.

But for a test-run it was really nice. Something different from just reading fics...
Am looking forward to the next run.

That was really sweet of him to do that for you. ^_^

It was a little choppy... Not just sound, but the way it sounded? Halting and such. I can completely understand why though.

I do hope he reads something he's more comfortable with soon. And slows down a bit so he gets the words right. I make the same mistakes when I read outloud. I could never be one of those books-on-tape persons. *blink* ^_^
