It's basically just a book-on-tape but without any money. No money anywhere.

That being said I will fucking FIGHT anyone who says the acting required for reading a work aloud isn't art.

Tim Curry in the Abhorsen trilogy made my very *existence* when he voiced a female dog begging for a bone.

Jim Dale gave Dumbledore a voice no actor will ever capture.

Mathew Wolf made certain character I found simply annoying in the text so over the top they became glorious. (The Dwarves by Markus Heitz, it's the last audio book I finished and I highly recommend it.)

Now, I'm going to go out on a limb and say not everyone in podfic is on the level of Tim Cury (GASP!) but it's pretty rough of you to rule an endeavor as "non art".

Plus, the "colorist" get's his/her own credit in comic books, that shit is art too.

"Plus, the "colorist" get's his/her own credit in comic books, that shit is art too."
And so is translating, but there are many reasons translators don't complain about their "art" being underestimated. The main one is that although it's a work that requires skill and time, it's still very different from the creative one required to create something.

I agree coloring/reading aloud/translating/etc. deserves it's recognition, but it's just not the same kind of art.

I don't know how many kinds of art there are to you so I'll just stick with the broad term of art. After all, if we disallowed anything derivative from being "art" we'd knock out all fan creations, all adaptations, all retelling, and I can't get on board with that.

Here's my POV: Acting out a scene someone else has written is art even if the actor doesn't actually create the characters or the lines like the writer does. Are they different? Yes. Are they both art? You betcha.

Same goes for voice work. And Stunt work*. And coloring. And translating poetry.

Wow, maybe I aught to listen to some podfic as I seem to be stanning for them pretty hard.

*Seriously though, we have best adapted screen play but the guys who put their lives on the line to make a beautiful dance of explosions and speed get nothing.

If you decide to try podfic I would recommend anything of Fayjay's in a heartbeat.(although if you like it she may have spoiled you for all others)

WAIT JUST A FUCKING MINUTE



TIM CURRY DID SABRIEL?! AND I HAVEN'T HEARD IT?

Re: It's basically just a book-on-tape but without any money. No money anywhere.

[math_camel]

You bet your bottom bell he did. It was amazing. Audible has it I think.

Don't listen to this person, it's really mediocre.

I don't fricking care. I didn't even know there was an audiobook.

He could give Mogget the voice of Nigel Thornberry for all I care. In fact I PRAY HE DID
