Concrit?
Constructive criticism, how do people feel about it?
As a recorder, do you want to hear from someone about how you read to fast/left that blooper in at 12:42/had birds screeching in the background*/whatever? Is it helpful or hurtful? Has concrit ever prompted you to make changes to a specific recording or made you change something about the way you record/read in the future?
As a listener, *do* you leave concrit when you feedback? Do you want to but feel stifled or unsure of the reception? Do you think it's rude/pointless/dull to do so?
*I'm pretty sure there are screeching birds in the background of just about everything I've recorded, even though I don't actually own a bird

*nods* I wasn't trying to say they were the same, more comparing the two for contrast. When you beta with someone, you generally have specific expectations and often a previous relationship of such things to fall back on. When you're giving someone concrit, you don't (normally) have those things to fall back on. Which is why I'm more likely to focus on the positive and encourage with concrit and with betaing I'm more willing to just lay it out on the table. :)
But I can't remember getting any feedback where I've thought the person leaving it was being malicious or a bitch or had anything but the best intentions at heart.
*nods again*
Most of the times I've gotten concrit (both for podfic and vidding) have been wonderful and I've walked away happier and more knowledgeable for it. Most of the tip toeing around concrit for me is giving it and wondering how the person in question will receive it since not everyone handles it well.
