Read a poem aloud..
April 24, 2010 at 4:08 am
I had this strange idea last night while 'talking' to Aerzia (and if it doesn't sound Russian when you say it you're not saying it right) last night that we should all record ourselves reading a poem and then post it here so we can hear what we all sound like.

So here is my attempt. It's recorded on my mobile and then converted to mp3 so the quality is not fantastic, and I also have a bit of a cold so it sounds like someone has put a peg on my nose, but, it's basically me...

Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

It was/is one Tongue But really... are you sure that isn't some kind of Monty Python sketch? Tongue
Hey anyone (especially Adrian, yoo hoo!) with a Mac:

How the hell do I post an IMovie video to the forum? :S

Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Edle, Graham Chapman or John Cleese... If you think I sound like any of these legends then I really am honoured Big Grin

As for IMovie, I don't know. Can you not just upload it to youtube or get some sort of converter to change it into avi or mpg, preferably the former?

How about this?

I actually have a problem with youtube... I deleted my account by accident and it won't let me get another one >_< Maybe if I used a different Email... but Sad

Can a girl get another youtube account if she has two emails? :S

Very busy now though.

What should I read? The Jabberwocky? Some Edna St. Vincent Millay? Yeates? T.S.? Hmmmmm...
