Well, here we go again. Back by popular demand, its the 'post your voice thread'. The original was by Fass, and Smunkeeville redid it a few months back (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=473500).

As that grew into a behemoth, it's probably better if we start again here. So, same format as before. To start with, read Article One of the Declaration of Human Rights (found here) (http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/navigate/alpha.htm).

If you speak more than one language please post which is your native language, and please if you do speak english post at least one reading in English.

Oh, and please post where you are from (where you lived when you learned to talk) you can be pretty generic (like America- Midwest) but not too Generic (North American Continent)

Article 1.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Recording: On Windows, go Start/programs/accessories/entertainment/sound recorder - it's basic but it works.
Or try Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/), a better sound recorder but you gotta export files into the correct format before uploading (it tells you what to do)
Hosting: Putfile (http://www.putfile.com/)seems to work fairly well. Might skip a bit first time round, but give it time.
Alternatives: http://www.ourmedia.org/
http://ul3.rapidshare.de/

Credit to Smunkee for some of the text here, I just c&p'd the bit about language and location.

Okay, to start the ball rolling, here's me!

Putfile doesn't work for me anymore. Used to, but now I get this weird Active-X control message, and the page shuts down. Guess you won't be hearing TC this time...

What part of Northern England is that?:confused:

L-Rouge? I'm a Geordie, born and bred. Can't you tell?:p

Is it tacky if I put up the ones I did for the last thread? It would be kinda silly to do them again.

Hey, it's your voice. :)
I only rerecorded mine cos I had a cold last time round.

I have just a plain, ordinary south of England accent.

You know which one to put up...
I have no idea what you're talking about. <.< >.>


But to keep from spamming this brand new thread, I've decided that it's not tacky, so here goes:

- Article 1 in German (http://www.gimehost.com/p233Y19lK7FbtAU2PguF)
- Article 1 in English (http://www.gimehost.com/N7APj7K9YKdzS08RrBsb)

And my favourite from the other ones I did, because my voice actually sounds like it does in RL, for a change (well, I'm laughing through large parts of it, so it's not *really* my normal speaking voice, but anyway). It's part German, part English.

- For SoWiBi (http://www.gimehost.com/ICPFDZMM5KS6DAsj2Mxd)

Okay, if I have time.

Apathy, and the lack of recording apparatus, mean I can only direct you to the old thread for my voice. Only one thing to add really; it's either the pollen that I didn't think I was allergic to or an incredibly extended, very mild summer cold, but my voice has deepened since the last recording. I'll possibly re-record once it returns to normal.

what's the deal on resurrecting or re-doing old threads today? i count at least 4 on page 1 right now... tis weird (not that i'm complaining, mind) :confused:

brand-new recording just for this thread here (http://www.hlj.me.uk/ns/pm%20300606%20mp3.mp3) :)

Hey, I missed the old thread. It's the only place I've received a couple of compliments :p

Hmm, I'd rather not be referred to as the Churchill Insurance dog again (I'm looking at you, PM), plus I did my throat in the other night at a Lancaster Uni bash. On top of the ridiculous depth, I've got a croak going on as well. :p

"It's currently a bit dark here"? :p

I was all proud to have noticed your accent sounds a bit like Turquoise Days' - until I saw that you're from opposite parts of the country.
So basically I correctly diagnosed that you both speak British English. Go me. :rolleyes:

(actually we do sound quite alike, though its because he sounds like a southerner *nods* ;))


and yes, it is dark here... i did that on the first take, on the fly without thinking about what i was gonna say first! i got to the end of the quote as was all "now what??" so, uh... i looked around the room and its all dark and.... ah you get the picture :P


edit:

I direct you all to the soothing sound of my voice (http://www.fileden.com/files/26565/Constitution.mp3).

I grew up in Nova Scotia, Eastern Canada, but I do not have the brogue typically associated with my ancestral home. I think my accent is typically central/Eastern Canadian.


You know, what we really need sometime is a singing thread.

Well by rights I should have an accent like this (http://media.putfile.com/Geordie-Me), but I once got mistaken for someone from Oxford, so yeah, go figure. :confused:

The doctors say there's nothing they can do. :p

I'll think about doing the paragraph above, but here's a link to me speaking the famous "Stella" paragraph:

Keruvalia Speaks! (http://ia300140.us.archive.org/1/items/Keruvalia_speaks/stella.mp3)

you need a tshirt saying "i'm geordie really!" :D

:(

I'll just have to try to get my voicebox working properly then, won't I?
Yes, yes. *nods delightedly* Note to self: "dejected look" works astonishingly well.

well done... have a cookie :) (*whispers: maybe it'll shut her up for a while :p*)I haven't talked to you in weeks and you're already shutting me up? You hurt me, Mr. Our Nights Tend To Be A Tad On The Dark Side, you really hurt me. :p

It still gives me a hard on, after all this time. *sigh*
So much for incognito. :p Some temptations are just too strong, it seems.

Then my work here is done. :D

I thought I'd record the DHR paragraph using a firey preacher voice that I do so well with my accent.

Alright... Perhaps not my best performance ever (The beginning is wobbly) but here it is (http://www.fileden.com/files/26565/POE.mp3)! Bon appetit.

Which would, as I have had to confess in your presence so many times in the past, effectively deflate my rigid tumescence in a way I would find not the least bit undesirable.

Well..... now that you're officially back, when do we get one of those yummy voice samples? I was very much hoping this would draw you out, and lo and behold, there he is. No voice thread would be complete without some aural Fassian mocking.

I must disappoint, as I am not any place near a computer I can equip with a microphone at the moment. In fact, I am posting from someone else's laptop as he's sleeping next to me, so it would be quite the rude thing to do. I trust you understand.

Don't fret, though, over the iniquity of the situation (hah!), as I, too, have been aurally deprived. SoWiBi's comp ist kaputt, and so is her skypitude. Woe is me.

Ok, so here I am. I've been told I have a good voice (by a 10-year radio vet) but I don't think as much. I do the daily announcements at school...I sound better doing that. :p

Here it is. (http://media.putfile.com/allhuman):D
Feel free to comment.

Woe indeed, on both counts.
But I trust that, as SoWiBi's skypitude recuperates, so will your aptitude to aurally vituperate?

(I know. But how often can you really get away with using these words? Exactically.)

heheh...Oh yeahhh...I'm from Indy. W00T!

I honestly don't know how long I'll stay at where I am. I'm having too much fun to go back.

(I know. But how often can you really get away with using these words? Exactically.)

And now you know my reason for returning.

I haven't talked to you in weeks and you're already shutting me up? You hurt me, Mr. Our Nights Tend To Be A Tad On The Dark Side, you really hurt me. :p
hahaha i'm so mean ;) :p

heheh...Oh yeahhh...I'm from Indy. W00T!
Damn, I really wanted to stop posting in this thread (where is everybody else? You're making me hog this by default!) but I went to university in Bloomington for a year (ages ago, though) - so Go Hoosiers! :p

I honestly don't know how long I'll stay at where I am. I'm having too much fun to go back.In that case, just pretend I never said anything and keep on having fun.

And now you know my reason for returning.Oh, the joy. Here, let me harass you with a quick fluffle as long as the mutual goodwill lasts :fluffle:. Done. Now everything can go back to normal.

Edit: LoL, I just though that it'd be funny if I read it as Gollum from Lord of the Rings... But I'll spare you all.

C'mon folks! Surely more of you have microphones! Let's hear 'ya!

Woo, glad I kept the original files on my server XD!

I'm from Nashville, Tennessee.

Japanese (http://www.strawberii.net/Japanese.mp3) (three years)

can't do it tonight, would wake up the kiddo's but I will tomorrow ;)

I think I might have to sing :D

No microphone or I would.

Maybe

Try a headphone in the mic socket. Go oooooonnnn.:)

So I was totally going to do this, but thanks to the OP for doing it over. ummm this is my super sexy voice (http://media.putfile.com/zilamarticle):p

I am from southern Illinois btw :D

It still gives me a hard on, after all this time. *sigh*
As I recall your Stella Paragraph was rather attractively spoken, too.

I'm from Argentina, so I'm not going to sound generic... sorry about the accent :P

Andrew Lloyd Weber is ruining my brain...

Frankly any torch song in Spanish will do...I'm a soft touch.

EDIT: But it can't be on putfile, cause I won't hear it. It has to be on gimmehost or something that plays well with my aging OS.

I'll hop on the bandwagon and just use the same files from the last thread.

It's the bestiest sexiest song you could sing...well for me anyway...

It's that breathy, beautiful bordering on raspy, song thats sung by world weary singers in smoke filled rooms with maybe just a piano or nothing at all, the kind that Marlene Dietrich or Edith Piaf would do.

After hearing one of those you can pretty much pour me over popcorn.

hmmm in Spanish? Don't know if there are many... if I find one I can sing, I'll do it

María Greever's Bésame Mucho comes to mind. Gardel too, of course. Also, José José didn't use that style, but something could be adapted, I'm sure.

As for my own voice, I was going to record something for this thread, but I said "aw, screw it" so here's my latest podcast recording: http://www.visionesbizarras.com/vbpodcast-060614.m3u

In Spanish.

I'll be putting my voice up here soon.

Ooh...My condolences...I'm a purdue boy meself...well...will be.Purdue, booooo. ;p

Sounds the way I expected it to, pretty much. Except for the song. Despite poor acoustics and everything (and an awful song! -But don't tell Francis), you do sing better than you speak.

I think the song was poorly written from a musical standpoint ;) however it's kinda a tradition around here and someone's gotta sing it on the 4th, might as well be me. haha

As far as singing better than I speak, it's probably from singing lessons and radio classes where I was taught to strip out my accent. My sample of speaking has my bad Okie accent. ;)

Oh, that could explain it.

Stands to reason that bad accents would come from the only state where oral sex is still illegal, right? ;)

[/no offence intended, I know you've broken the law you naughty girl you]

I'll get an explanation of what I sound like up soon.

Ok, as I have promised Cannot think of a name, here's a tango. It's called "Uno" ("One") and originally it's beautiful, but I don't seem to do ANY justice to it.

I'd record a tidier version, but I must get ready for a party, so no time!

(and yes, I have a generic computer mic $3 worth, and no music behind... zero sophistication) :(
