Okay, Lara, I am very sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but I have to tell you something and it's serious *puts her solemn, yet compassionate face on*: you are clearly delusional.
But don't worry, delusional disorders are not such a rare condition these days (I've heard there are people out there thinking they can fly and that mixing three primary colours in their suit is a good idea). We'll get you medicated and you'll be well again in no time.
Seriously, that was such a great little audio-fic
Your voice is so soft and pleasant and I noticed hardly any stumbling over sentences or mispronunciation ... I absolutely loved this.
And you do not "over-enthuse" at all. As every acting/public speaking coach will tell you: if you don't feel it's too much, it's not enough.
I'm absolutely honest here, no buttering you up: I think your presentation was not "over acted" at all, it was just a very good reading of a sweet little story.
My laundry practically folded itself as I was listening to you
I do hope that you will read more stories in the future and also find it in your little, bat-shaped heart to share this with more people (either through a new thread or a submission to the archive, but preferably both
).
By the way, if you happen to have anything in French, I would be a thankful taker, too.
Although I would definitely need the script in front of me as my French is deteriorating with every day that goes by - and my listening skills are far inferior to my mediocre reading skills.
Jacques Chirac is the only French person I really understand quite well - every time he was on TV5, I was happy I could actually watch a segment and get what it was about. Too bad he's not Monsieur le Président anymore
But to not totally hijack the thread:
I actually made some progress with my crossover fic
Yay!
I'm now at almost eight pages (okay, I've also only set up the premise, but I strongly feel I'm getting there - at least that's what I'm telling myself
).
Lara, thanks again for recording and posting this. I loved it, it was great
Mille fois merci,
Eva
