I have no intention of exposing my mangled Essex/Hampshire hybrid to the world, but I did want to compliment Fran and Gendo on a beautiful looking site. That’s a really nice, understated piece of design.
I’ve just sent you one, too, Francesca.
Thanks again to you and Gendo for a great site.
Fabulous. I’m away for the weekend, so I’ll upload more on Monday, so keep 'em coming. I’m a bit worried that given the size of the files emailed so far, the VotTM hotmail account will get full before I can download the files and your mails will bounce back - if this happens to you, you can also send files to francesca_tweedy at hotmail.com or voiceofthedope at hotmail.com.
Thanks for the compliments 
[sub]And yes, Nacho4Sara, you do need a microphone. Borrow a friends! Heh.[/sub]

Excellent page, Francesca! I look forward to trying out all the samples at home tonight.

Hie thee to a microphone Sara, and get thine dulcet tones over to England posthaste!
Zap!
Apparently, Zappo and I are the verbose ones so far… It’s fun hearing the voices - c’mon everybody! Send yours in!!
Zappo’s was, indeed, amusing. I was expecting him to have more of an accent - like my uncle from Scranton - but he doesn’t.
Oh - if my parents still have a microphone set up in their computer at home, expect to hear me sometime in the next two weeks. If not, no racinvoice for you (heartbreaking, ain’t it?).
Have no clue what I’ll say.
“Greetings, Dopers. Not entirely sure what I should talk about, but, um, salut de Montréal, Québec, Canada, hope to meet a lot more of you in person real soon, and, um, vote NDP! Talk to you soon. Bye!”
Now you can ALL find out how much of a canuck fag I sound like.
I’ll have mine set up at the end of this month when I will be recording it at Londope.
now accepting suggestions on what to say.

How 'bout humming/singing a bar from my favorite song, “Lie to You.”
Either that or a poem about me.
Nice site! And I’ll add a third (or fourth is it?) to Francesca having a sexy voice! Whew!
I’ll make a clip sometime soon and send it out.
I will be making a clip (hopefully sometime soon) of a song I sing with my band. It’s a little dreamy song called “So Many Stars”
More just added.
We have Anahita, being veeeery quiet (sorry, that’s the way it came to me), Bouv in a rather worrying situation, Gorgon Heap on brown salad, lno not sounding like a hippo, Matt-mcl being Canadian (he talks French and says “aboot”!), Tripler being a smooooove DJ (and, frankly, sounding hot) and Why A Duck who leaves us wondering “Why R?”.
Fabulous, the lot of you.
Funny thing: I was watching Sesame Street with my daughter this morning and the letter of the day was in fact “R.” This was announced with a cartoon featuring a whole crew of pirates singing and going “Aarr” a lot.
I wish I knew what a hippo actually DID sound like. Then I could try to not sound like that.
You’re not trying very hard are you?

They don’t sound nearly like what I would expect. Rather like a large constipated bird.
I’m going to redo mine, so it’s audible. Meanwhile, just so you know, the first word is “Hello” in Farsi and the second is how you pronounce my name in Farsi.
I’m somewhat disturbed at how quickly you provided that link, Why A Duck.
I don’t sound like that . . . do I?
Ooh, you guys are in trouble… I got a mike at home and I know how to use it. Evil ideas aplenty! 
Francesca, this was a stroke of genius!! I’m enjoying all the messages. Thanks so much!
