whistling in the dark

26 Apr 2003 By

I think it would be really interesting if everyone out there posted just one audio clip of themselves reading one of their blog entries. I know there’s things like audblog out there that will let you accomplish this. But this doesn’t need to be any kind of regular thing.

When you get to know someone by reading them, you get a voice in your head. Sometimes hearing the actual voice can kind of mess that up for you (kinda like seeing the movie after reading the book), but I’ve found that in most cases it greatly enhances the experience. Attaching an accent, a cadence, a tone to the words makes your experience of them more complete.

Maybe I’d just like to know that the voices in my head are authentic.

    Oh, lord, no. I hate my speaking voice, because I’m hard of hearing (like Survivor’s Christy!) and come across as very nasal and… ugh. Really, any voice you can imagine for me is going to be better than the real thing.

    I would try this but I am still stuck with a 28.8 connection.

    I should be getting broadband in June, I’ll try to remember to try this then!

    ugh, such a bad idea

    you already know what I sound like, (so sorry for you) so I don’t have to play :P

    But Mel, I love listening to you talk!

    Mel, I have to agree with Erica, but for a completely different reason (or so I would assume). You remind me of home.

    I agree too! Some of my stories are much better in audio format than written (for example, the first installment of the Scary Hug John story).
