Voices of a.org
« on: December 29, 2006, 10:52:55 PM »
This may sound a tad insane, however, I'm not the first to suggest it. Recently, there was some discussion regarding different accents from around the world. Judging by pics, locality and general conversation, I've formed my own opinions as to what some of you may sound like, not sure if anybody else does that, but I do. I doubt any of these are remotely accurate and the likelihood of meeting many of you is near invisible so my proposal is to build a web archive of peoples voices saying the same line. The line shall be the following:

"Hi, this is from Amiga.org saying hello world."

I've set up a gmail account to recieve the sound files:

voices.a.org@gmail.com

I don't really care what format you send me, so long as its nothing too obscure. They will all be converted to MP3 as I've only got a limited amount of webspace. Depending on how many responses I get, I'll begin the process of building the web archive, please note, I learnt web development on notepad and I've not progressed much further, so don't expect anything fancy :-D Anyways, I look forward to hearing from you all ;-)

Hehe, if Blobzie gives us a sample I might finally know what a Pictish accent is.

Actually, I don't speak with an accent, unless you call middle class English an accent (although I don't sound my 't's).

You can go quadraphonic if you wish, but it'll end up being converted to mono all the same.

Nice idea but how about a youtube type Amiga site? now loads of people have broadband and Im sure some of us would love to video our Amiga's and such.. or just show an A1000 running KS3.9 for example. ;-)

Looks like my idea may actually take off, I've got two so far and I'm still waiting on Karlos and Whabang, I'm pretty sure X-ray was going to send something, but time will tell. I've recorded my own, so that makes a total of three. Come on peoples, the world must hear you!

Thanks to Wilse and mick_aka for their contribution :-)

I'm afraid I can't do it, mate. My voice is a virus and it corrupts all digital media upon which it is found. It is not recordable, the playback is just white noise  :-o
