Title: Voices of Amiga.org
Post by: adz on February 03, 2007, 02:16:56 AM
Yes, there is already a thread about this in CH/General, however, now that everything is working well I thought it best to post it for *everyone* to see;

Voices of Amiga.org (http://voicesofaorg.extropia.co.uk/)

The site was originally inspired by a combination of Faces of Amiga.org (http://hem.bredband.net/facesofamigadotorg/) and some discussion about peoples accents in the CH forums. Karlos and I have put a fair amount of effort into the site and its new interface and we would hate to see it all go to waste.

Go on, click the above link, grab your mic and follow the instructions, it will be heaps of fun, trust me ;-)

Man this road is getting bumpy!

I'll be buying a new microphone in a week or so, and still plan to add a clip.

Ok, this was first posted rather a long time ago, and in those years many people have come and gone. All without saying "Hi this is (insert handle here) from Amiga dot org saying hello world" into a microphone and emailing it to voices.a.org(at)gmail(dot)com.

I've just sent mine in (think you'll need subtitles though to understand it... :) )

Listening to everyone else on it, sounds like they all used their best posh telephone answering voice... :lol:

I don't have a telephone voice so you'll just have to take it as you find it... :)

I wouldn't say a serial killer, perhaps just someone who's bumped off one or two by erm... accident and just misunderstood by society... :)

(still sound's posh to me though... :lol: )

I've just sent mine in.  I hope the .wav file gets converted ok.  It doesn't have to be MP3 does it?  If so I have to download the Lame encoder.

mp3 is preferred but it can be encoded if necessary. Submission isn't entirely automated ;)

It's up :)

Ok, I'll record my voice tommorow....

By the way, Bloodline, I think your voice sounds fine... :)

This is actually pretty cool to hear what A.org members sound like... especially as Save2600 is the only member I've met in person.

You're not the first person to say so. I really don't get it either, as Ringo Starr was from Liverpool and I'm from Teesside :)

I'm not entirely convinced that bloodline isn't just whabang pinching his nose slightly :)

But seriously, everybody sounds fine, IMO. Although for some reason, ferix / cecilia II don't play properly in my browser plugin (both work fine as mp3 files normally)...

Careful there lager-boy, you don't want to be lumping us Yoirkshire folk in with those on the wrong side of the Pennines. Let alone grouping Franko in with the English... ;-)

What ho, prick up an ear old chap:News from the provinces.

Mind you, since half of London is going to be moving up here in the next few months, you might find a bit of the old Eton twang (rhyming slang) on the streets of sunny Hull before too long. :)
