lindenharpSo, I've been having this fantasy. No, not that one. Not that one, either. :-)
I listen to a lot of audiobooks, mostly downloadable ones. They make my commute easier and distract me from boring housework. I was happy when I discovered audio fanfic on sites like this.
I found myself wondering: if I were going to record one of my fics, which would I choose? The true answer is that I wouldn't. At least, I wouldn't do it myself. I don't have a good voice for that sort of thing. But if I were going to have something recorded, it would be Valiant Tales.
Here's the fantasy part: I'd want a different narrator for each tale, with a voice to match. That means gender and accent. Most of them are male, mostly British, but also Spanish, Italian, French, and Norwegian. Several Americans, including a couple with regional accents.
After that project, I'd like David Tennant and Catherine Tate to record All the King's Horses. If I'm going to dream, I may as well dream big. :-)
