Yay! I'm glad it was useful for you. :) And oh, I remember seeing your post on podfic_tips about the speed issue, now that you mention the metronome. D'oh. Didn't make that connection before. I *was* mighty impressed with how clear your diction was in some of those speedy sections. I'd have been tripping all over my tongue, I think. :)

Acting lessons... that's an interesting thought. I'm on a local arts-scene mailing list that has an occasional ad offering lessons specifically in doing voice-over work. Hmmmm...

After sleeping on it, I guess I will post a link over at the comm, since there seem to be more going up there now. I'm looking forward to comparing notes with the other reviewer of your story. :)
