podfic_bingoIn order for Podfic Bingo to be a success, we need a variety of prompts to put in the squares.
I've come up with two different categories of prompts (although, if you can think of another, feel free to suggest it): Reading prompts andExtras Production prompts. ETA: I've added a Fic Choice category.
Reading prompts affect how the podficcer reads their story. It can be emphasizing an emotion or adding a style to the reading.
Extas Production prompts are prompts that affect the editing stage or how you produce the podfic but don't directly affect how you read the story..
Examples of Reading prompts
-Read Angrily
-Read Sadly
-Read with a Smile
-Try an Accent
-Character Voices
-Read Animatedly
-Read Deadpan
-More Articulation (for you)
-Slur/Mumble
-Read Quickly (for you)
-Read Slowly (for you)
-Collaborate
-Read Sexy
-Record with your Body
-Record Standing Up
-Read While Laughing
-Read Quietly
-Read Loudly
-Record While Lying Down
-Read Drunkenly
-Read with Silence

-Read without Cues

Date: 2011-01-10 05:08 pm (UTC)Read a story by someone you know? (That could be problematic, but mostly I was thinking *nerve-wracking*.)
Read from a different writing genre (ie. read something which is letters, or has news reports, blogs, script format).
Read a new point of view (first person, second person etc)
Read the fic out of order.
Read a story about a minor character. (...not quite what I mean. Read for a character who doesn't have a strong voice in canon/fanon/other podfic.)
I completely second the idea to read in specific subgenres (crack, femslash etc). No reason we can't spread our wings in that way too.
(Also, I really want to try reading while drunk. It'd be hilarious.)
Edit: Read in a fandom which isn't entirely unfamiliar, but not one of your safe, stable fandoms where you know what's going on.
Read one of your own fics. (Again, problematic, but much with the nerves.)

Date: 2011-01-10 06:20 pm (UTC)I really like the "read out of order" one. I wonder if people would post it out of order too. I know
Also, I really want to try reading while drunk. It'd be hilarious.
I would also like to see that prompt read. Possibly combined with the "post without editing" prompt. ;)

Date: 2011-01-10 10:50 pm (UTC)Posting out of order would do my head in, I think. But reading would be interesting.
Oh, God, I fear getting the post without editing. Combined with the drunk, well, it could *work* in a terrifying way. I think I'd get more funny from the editing of the drunk reading than any other, so why withhold that pleasure?

Date: 2011-01-10 11:28 pm (UTC)Actually, I think I'm going to go through and simplify a lot of the prompts so that they can be taken more generally (and will, you know, fit in a bingo square ;).
And yeah, posting without editing is scary. I have a podfic tutorial written (that I'll post sometime, I swear) and as part of it I offer a download for the unedited version of the example fic. Putting it out there... if feels a little like posting nude pictures or something. I definitely wouldn't want to post anything of length without editing. Especially since, when I stumble, I stumble a lot. I recently edited a 15 minute section down to 10 minutes :S

Date: 2011-01-12 09:38 pm (UTC)...now re-found. Not sure if it has enough French to qualify? I certainly have enough fear about French specifically for it to count as a challenge, though.
Ha, you think 15:10 is a bad stumble ratio? I recorded... 10:45:00 for my podbang, which ended up as 4:30:00. If I manage anything less than 50% cut out it's a good recording session. Unedited podfic is definitely nude pictures. I always cringe so hard when I hear podfic (from the early days, usually, or collaborative efforts for specific authors) which is unedited.
