Well, I re-recorded the audio and downloaded it again. It's apparently processing right now so it'll be done once it works and I'll edit it in. Just a heads up I've been running into this problem for anyone else.

EDIT: I just tried to find another site to host the audio file. I'm very insecure about my voice and I've been told I sound like a guy sometimes but... you don't get anywhere by not putting yourself out there. Hopefully it's not too quiet. https://www.mboxdrive.com/Untitled2.mp3

no not at all! i lost 2x recordings to vocaroo issues before just recording on my phone and doing a little finagling to upload it to vocaroo from there. vocaroo has never liked me lmao

Ivysaur February 13th, 2021 2:23 PM

Beep boop.

https://vocaroo.com/1ooYV6ojszz7

Had to go the long way around because vocaroo hates me too.

Starlight February 14th, 2021 9:13 PM

Okay... some of you will know just how out of character sharing this is, but life is very short, so here goes...

https://voca.ro/171BKThxik10

I wanted to do it yesterday, but I was pretty much unable to speak 😔

I thought I wouldn't make it through the whole thing today, but I did! Obviously I don't sound super great, but hopefully you can get a good idea of my accent :)

Sonata February 14th, 2021 10:32 PM

Sorry about the sniffles and random pauses, I am too tired to think before I speak. Also forgive me as I drop this here.
