    Wow, surprised this thread got to so many replies. XD It's cool, though.

    Here's mine. Pretty sure I said a bad word once or twice, that's just how I speak, so I apologize.
    Didn't say anything ban worthy that I can remember, also I sound pretty sarcastic through the entire thing.

    Back to listening to other people's now. XDD I enjoy this thread.

    Edit: re-listening to it.. when I come back from grabbing the book I say "Good on ya", Australian expression.. It's not very audible, so FYI.

  • I was told to do this

    So...here's mine. I'm surprised that my Mexican accent wasn't all jumpy like other times. But meh, yeah, here's my accent/voice/recordedthingy. I recorded using the voice recorder from my phone, so expect superior quality. :D Enjoy. :P

  • *groans*
    I just can't resist these things, even though I hate the sound of my voice and how fuzzy Vocaroo makes it D:

    Fine...

    ...I'll probably get cold feet and delete this entire post later. xD

  • It took me at the very least 7 tries to get this done, and I still messed the final one up a bit (I stuttered a little whilst reading the book passage X3).

  • Alrighty. Here's my shot. The tinny mic on my laptop isn't perfect, but it's alright:

    I don't think I have a strong accent... but I tend to stick to the script too much when I have one and I'll speak more formally. Give me a chance to redo this when I'm in a casual mood, so my accent will sound more Aussie. :D Requests are fine, if anyone has them :D

  • EDIT:...I'll redo this. I'll make a video. For some reason the microphone quality is much better on a video. Give me about twenty minutes to upload it.

    Okay, here it is. I'm not amazing with forums so have a link. Warning: My accent is horrible.
    I've only recently gotten out of the bath, so I apologise for not being entirely presentable.

  • This be mine, I guess?

    I'm not much of a literature reader, so pardon me at the passage part XD

    I also combined multiple mp3 recordings of myself doing the challenge split up in Audacity, so you will notice the breaks and pauses :\

  • I have a habbit of watching videos and pushing the mute button then watching them again later, well I was listening to radio paradise, and your lips were moving perfectly to the words, now I shall never get that image out of my head. I just had to point this out, that is all. Also, your accent isn't that bad.

    If you were wondering what the song was it was: Martha Wainwright - Factory

    That's quite amusing. If only I could actually sing.

    And thank you.

    YES I FINALLY GOT TO DO THIS.

    I have a cold/flu thing so um. please don't judge my voice too much, I promise I don't normally sound that bad.

    edit: jfc the audio is almost as bad as my voice. sorrrrrrry D: maybe i'll re-record when i'm on my own computer later this weekend.
    I did re-record now that I have my own mic/laptop. it's quiet this time hahaha because my voice isn't back yet.
