Pitch Slapped

What is a fan fiction Beta? I caught up with Carter who put together The Pitch Perfect Beta Doc. A project to help fan fiction writers connect with people willing beta work. Not really knowing about Beta's myself it was great to hear how many ways people get involved in the fandom and help support creators and their work.

If you want to get involved with the Beta project check out the document here: PP Betas

I talk to Maisie about her experience joining a University A Cappella group the DeciBelles, getting addicted to the craft and going on to join the Aquapella. Where they went on to compete in the final of the ICCA's in America in 2019. We delve deep into the lifestyle, the sacrifices made to be in such a group as well as why so many performers fall in love with the family and community they get out of it. Is it anything like what we see in Pitch Perfect? Lets find out.
