[analise010]

Do you LOVE listening to podfic? Can you provide help and guidance to a newbie? Do you want to squee and tell people that their podfics are great? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you should be a beta listener and/or cheerleader.

Cheerleaders

• Your main mission is: to offer encouragement for a podficcer to complete their fanwork.
• Ways to do this include: delivering liberal doses of encouragement, offering advice, providing gentle reminders of deadlines, and celebrating your podficcer's accomplishments.
• You will be promoted as a resource to people who need a little extra encouragement.

Betas

• Your main mission is: to review a fanwork and offer suggestions for improvement.
• Ways to do this include: listening to podfic drafts or previewing art drafts and providing reviews/comments.
• You will be promoted as a resource to podficcers who need help with the editing and revision process.

If you want to be a beta and/or cheerleader, copy & paste the form below and fill it out in the comments. A podficcer will contact you personally for help.

I'm signing up as a... Beta Listener
Preferred Username: Shmaylor
Preferred method(s) of contact: twitter DM (theshmaylor), email (shmaylorp at gmail)
Preferred fandoms: Leverage, MCU (+ netflix marvel shows), Star Wars, Person of Interest, Buzzfeed Worth It, Buzzfeed Unsolved, Mad Max Fury Road, Hannibal, Welcome to Night Vale, The Good Place, Black Sails, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Sense8

How many podficcers are you willing to work with?: Probably just 1, but if you need more people, lmk and I'll see if I can
Minimum/maximum podfic length you prefer to work with, if any: 6 hours max
Anything else?: I'm the type of beta that will catch pacing issues, double lines, easily editable weird noises, and I'll give input on any music or effects. But I won't comment on performance choices or suggest any re-records, because pick-ups SUCK. So that could work or not, depending on what the podficcer is looking for in a beta.
