    Let's hear your voices :)

    hey folks,
    I've done a recording of me reading out the opening monologue from Richard III.
    it's split up in two parts and in the second part i started some lines again, because the recording device played up.
    the first part is dull, but in the second one I tried to sound EEEEEVIL
    the mic was dead cheap, so my voice sounds weird (well, it sounds weird enough in real life)

    *edit*: I've added God's monologue from Everyman (by 'Anonymous').. not the best recording, but if i had to do another i'd go spare

    click "GMX MediaCenter starten" to open the folder.



    if you want to post your voice recordings for members to listen to, you can put them here

    Oh! I don't have access to listen to that now.My sestem is..........Gosh! But I'll soon rush for one soon. Wish it sounds great.
    The source of any bad writing is the desire to be something more than a person of sense--the straining to be thought a genius. If people would say what they have to say in plain terms, how much eloquent they would be.

    The vocal stylings of our very own Sleepy...and you don't sound weird to me.

    hehe, thanks kathy
    i had to read those passages for a course and I thought "oops, what if the teachers asks us to read it out and everyone is caught unprepared and we end up reading out " erh prffrgrr, what?" ... so i practiced them a dozen times each and then i thought why not record them

    Or weird to me! I went with the everyman recording.

    so, when are you two going to post samples of your voice?


    the Everyman thingy was strange to read... it's GOD speaking, but when you look at what he's got to say... well he sounds like "baaaah, nobody likes me, everyone's mean, moan moan moan whine whine"... i tried to imagine an old man with a long beard reaing it in a thunderous voice, but somehow I'm not sure that would work...

    I could record mine....but I have no clue how to upload it to that website. I am rather inept at following directions sometimes too...

    Hmmmm, I think I might be able to figure something out...

    Ok, I uploaded the file to my host, and it will need to be opened with any media player. w00t!

    *edit*
    (can be opened directly or saved to disk, whichever. I am not very melodious, so consider this fair warning!)

    heeheee, nice recording kathy "hello hello..."
    i tried to record some unscripted speech earlier on and all I could think of was "Hello, I'm SleepyWitch. Er, I don't know what to say. The weather is nice..er yah".. so I didn't post that one.

    *edit*: i don't think your voice sounds very nasal.. mine sound nasal although i don't have any allergies or sinus conditions you're doing comparativley well

    Thanks. I made a couple of ones, in particular a very stirring rendition of the time and date...

    who knows, there could be a market for it I think in England whole generattions of people listened to the shipping news.. even people who didn't have anything to do with ships... they just liked to listen to them so much..
    so why not times and dates.. would be nice for a change

    (don't remember if it's called shipping news, but i think i read a story about it in the Times)

    There's a site called Putfile which is used to upload audio file (it's used quite a lot at another forum I visit), but it seems to hate me so I had to use something else. I'll be back later, I'm going to un-dig my file LOL

    P.S. I can't reach Sleepy's files, or rather I reach them (thanks to my vague German ) but then they play for only one second or so...
    kathy's was funny
