One Song Glory: That one fabulous thing you wish there were more of
I really, really, really love ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kyizi's recording of Retrograde by Martha Wilson. She has a lovely, soft voice with a beautiful Scottish accent, but nevertheless, she does these uncannily spot on renderings of Jack O'Neill, John Sheppard, Teyla Emmagan, Rodney McKay, Cameron Mitchell, and a bunch of other Stargate characters. Her prosody is very gentle and calming, (this reading is one of my favorites to fall asleep to) but, at the same time, the compelling urgency of the story being told is never lost, the anxieties and conflicts and distrust and anger of all of the characters comes through crystal clear; the pacing is terrific!
There is exactly one thing that makes me sad about this reading.
It is the only podfic Kyizi has recorded to date (and for a very long, far too long time, it was the only long fic by Martha Wilson which had been recorded. [Thank you, podbang!])
So, is there any podfic which has some unique quality that makes you sad because the world would be a better place if there were more like that? Tell us about the author who needs more fic podficced. Tell us about the character who has great mannerisms which ought to be mimicked by a thousand fans but languishes with one bare recording. Tell us about other readers like kyizi, who made one fabulous reading and have gone back to less throat-shredding fannish pursuits. Explain to us the fantastic podfic experiment that, in a just world, would have become a common podfic practice.
