Huh, interesting. I was kind of amused that audiobook readers would record erotica under a pseudonym--wouldn't you recognize their voices anyway? I've never listened to a porny professional audiobook, and I'd be interested to see what the difference was compared to podfic.
I know! I guess maybe our voices are not that recognizable? or maybe it's like us--if someone hears it, they're already in the know so to speak?
I've listened to some amateur non fanfic porn before, and it was just the same as ours except that I could have cared less for the sex scenes, bc I didn't know the characters...
I would imagine the differences would be the same as the differences
between non-explicit podfic and non-explicit audiobooks, that is to say,
the one big difference is that audiobooks tend to be a little cleaner,
because they're recorded in studios and there's at least one other person
checking for gaffes, and they're much more consistent about using different
voices/ways of speaking for different characters. I think this is because a
lot of audiobook readers are also actors, so they approach it as an acting
job instead of a recounting a story job. But that's my just so story in my
head, I could be wrong.
Also, I suspect that readers who are concerned enough about erotica to use
a pseudonym are not so concerned about the people who are listening to the
erotica audiobook long enough to identify them, they're concerned about the
people doing a web search on their name and not wanting to cast them as
grandma in a movie because they've done porn.
To me, the difference is also that I feel like professional audiobook readers often sound more distanced from what they're reading? Podfic comes more from a place of love, which shines through in the reading for me. So I'd be interested in how that affects sex scenes.
