Here's my first one ever. it's wuss from book 24... I've already added effects to it. if it's really necessary, I can redo it without effects...

No offense but it sounds a little hard to understand with the effects on
I know that. which is why I suggested giving one without the effects...

I've asked to read for Karen and Rachel's mom, so I'll do some lines as soon as I can. Most likely either tonight or sunday. I actually have plans this Valentine's day, so I'll be busy...  ;D

She wants to do Karen, but that opens up Melissa if you want that.
BTW, weathel, how's the site coming along?

Welcome to the project, Agent.  I think I mentioned that I do accent coaching.  If you could find a ~200 word passage to read, I'd really appreciate that, so I can hear your native accent ("accent"="pronunciation system" everyone who speaks has some sort of accent).  I don't think Melissa has anything that long, so feel free to either record some other character's narration or something non-Animorphs.

The project site is still waiting on Richard.  I'll give him another poke, I guess.  If it's not up when I come up from CA, though, I'm really tempted to just go ahead and set it up on my dime.  (I'm going to launch a personal website at some point anyway; I've come to realize that I want to publish some of my writing, singing, perhaps an Esperanto blog...anyway)  We need it if we're going to get rolling.

Which reminds me, Agent.  We'll start with Megamorphs #1.  I don't think anyone has claimed the crazy woman whom Rachel meets.  Plus, we'll need extras.  So, we can find something for you to do even when Melissa doesn't have lines.

OOOoooh, I am totally feeling the crazy. And any extras you can throw my way. Yeah, when I have more time (probably tomorrow) I'll record something.

Kewl!!!

It finally stopped raining in Sunny CA, and Santa Clara's free internet works much, much better outdoors, so here I am.

Morf: I can't understand a word you're saying through all the processing, much less accent.  Sorry.

Agent: Sorry for any confusion about my name.  I usually go by wildweathel, only changing it for the parties.  You can keep calling me gryph if you prefer.

Okay, so since I can only record in .wav, I can't upload the file directly. I put it on rapidshare:

http://rapidshare.com/files/199813246/Just_Ella.wav.html

It's an excerpt from Margaret Peterson Haddix's Just Ella.

Thanks!

Okay, some impressions:

You've got a wicked ground loop.  That's causing the 60 Hz hum.

Your accent is very much like mine.  That's a bit of a problem, since I'm from Maine, not California.

Basically, there are two or three changes to get to a Cal accent:
  • Pronounce r after vowels differently.  Once I return home, I'll make a tape about this.  If you'd like to give it a head-start pronounce "absurd," paying attention to your tongue in "ur".  If my ears aren't fooling me, the tip of your tongue is somewhere around your lower jaw when you do this.  Now say "red," again paying attention to the tip of your tongue.  It will be curled up behind your upper jaw.  The Cal-accent position is in between: the tip isn't all the way back like in "red", but it is nearly as far: sorta like "absrd."

  • Long i only has one pronunciation: light sounds like lied.  There is a pronunciation practice tape for this one, #1 in the accent thread (but I think I'll revisit it.  At the very least, I need to type up a transcript to go with it.)

  • (possibly) Pronounce "an" and "am" different from other short a sounds.  It's sort of a yeah-nn or yeah-mm sound.  Some New England accents have this feature, including my own, but I can't tell from your recording.  I think the word "can" appears once, but it's not stressed and thus sounds like "cn" (which is the same in all accents, not telling me anything).

I DID say, it might be better for me to get an unedited version... (or if I didn't, I was trying to)

We are working on MM1 at this time, and do not need anymore voice actors for this book. We've also set a requirement that anyone new to the project must be willing to help with directing/timing before they're allowed to put in for an acting role.

All roles in MM1 are already taken. We're starting with MM1 and moving from there, so no, there are no acting roles until we are done with this book.
