(podfic) The Last Enemy: The Howling Nights

by ZiggyStardust394

Summary:

It’s 1975 and war is simmering beneath the surface of the Wizarding world...but at Hogwarts, it’s magic as usual as the fifth years prepare for their O.W.L.s amidst politics, pranks, and other poor choices.

Severus Snape wants to prove his worth.
Lily Evans wants a fresh start.
James Potter wants Lily Evans, though no one is more surprised by this than him.
Sirius Black wants to write himself a new story.
Remus Lupin wants to survive the next moon.
Peter Pettigrew just wants to keep up.

But as tensions bubble over, sides will be chosen, friendships destroyed, families parted, and paths forever altered.

The Howling Nights is the first book of The Last Enemy series, which follows the lives of the heroes and villains of the First Wizarding War from 1975-1981.

Hello! I am very excited to begin this journey. I wanted to practice my accent work, and considering I've been obsessed with The Last Enemy for the past year, this seemed like the perfect way to do it. That, and I'm desperate to bring this story to life in any way I possibly can so, ya know (birds and stones and whatnot).

I have so many ideas for the voices of these characters, and hopefully I'll be able to execute them as we go on (don't even get me started on Remus- thankfully he doesn't show up til chapter 4).
Lucky for us, it's a long series!

I realized while recording this that I have never had reason to say the word "animagi" out loud before and I don't know how to pronounce it. Ultimately, I went with the pronunciation provided on Pottermore and... I don't know how I feel about it. But oh well.

I am very new at this whole making a podfic thing, so if anyone has editing tips and tricks, it would be greatly appreciated!

I watched a bunch of Liam Gallagher interviews so that I could attempt a Mancunian accent (with some modifications for understandability purposes). I hope you appreciate me noble sacrifice

Ya girl got a new audio setup :))
Also... HERE HE IS, MY BEAUTIFUL BOY!! My favorite thing about TLE is the characterizations, and Sirius in particular is what really sold me on this fic. I remember the first time I read it, I had to set my phone so that I could shake my hands at the sky and exclaim "HE'S PERFECT!" on multiple occasions.

(also, pardon my French)
