Late to the Party -- the pronunciation meme

Jan 21, 2011 03:27

I loved hearing everybody's voices. It took me a while to figure out how to do this, but I think I figured it out:

Here were the questions:

Who are you?
Where are you from?

Say the following words: Aunt, Roof, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, ( Read more... )

Pecan - "yuck". That's right, nasty things. I'm a walnut girl myself.

I'm just not a very nutty girl!

I don't like nuts either! What does Strudel think of them? Because if he dislikes them we could call the project "Notes, not nuts."

Or not, you know, either way....

You don't like nuts either? God, if I were 30 years younger I'd so be driving up to Ontario to try to nab you.

Alas, Strudel likes nuts. He's very imperfect, but I love him anyway, him being my brother and all.

Oh you've got a wonderful accent. :D

Thanks! I don't know if I commented on yours -- but you have a tremendous voice!

You can imbed the code if you click the "post to the internet" link, and click the HTML tag on your LJ edit of the entry, and paste it there :)

Anywho, you have a nice, clear voice, with a standard, American accent (i.e. no accent at all ;)

2maggie2 January 21 2011, 16:35:53 UTC

I figure with all the rattling around all the accents cancel out! Thanks for the tip. I think I'm too lazy to fix it, and the click works. But next time!

Yay!

Your voice isn't quite how I imagined, but then I'm not sure what I expected.

I'd quite like to do this meme now my cold's a bit better, but I haven't the first clue how to go about it. I suppose you need a microphone, do you?

2maggie2 January 22 2011, 00:07:57 UTC

I suppose so. There's apparantly one built into my laptop because I just started talking and it recorded!

I hope you can work it out -- it is fun hearing everyone's voices.

shapinglight January 23 2011, 20:18:50 UTC

I did work it out, but after the fifth attempt at recording I decided I hated the sound of my own voice so much that I've decided not to do it.

2maggie2 January 25 2011, 06:19:42 UTC

:( I had been hoping to hear yours! Any chance you'll reconsider?!!
