Here’s an mp3 of me reading the prologue to Longfellow’s Evangeline. Post your own file, if you have one, so we can hear your voice!
I love the way you say “oceans”.
Oh, thank you jjim!
In English, from Bai Xiao-Yi’s The Explosion in the Parlor*
In Spanish, from Jacobo Timerman’s Preso Sin Nombre, Celda Sin Número
The Spanish one is (IMO) awful – I sound better than that when I’m speaking of things I know well, as opposed to tiny cells occupied by torture victims.
*From a collection of extremely short stories called Sudden Fiction International, which I have gotten a lot of enjoyment out of.
Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
I’ll be in muh bunk.
I’d rather not post mine. I sound like five school-age seagulls playing band instruments while backing a semi into an alley.
You guys sound cool, though. 
If anyone would like to hear me at work, if you go here at 58 minutes past this hour, scroll down the page to where it says “Listen Now - 88.9 NPR” and click on the link, you’ll hear me at 59 past, reading three underwriters and the station ID. Requires RealPlayer or RealAlternative. Next times I’m on are at :06, :19, :39 and :59 of the following hours - except less often after 6PM Eastern, as there are fewer underwriters at night.
If you go here you can here my demo for commercials and narration.
I don’t have any of my radio stuff up yet.
I hope this doesn’t set off any Southern indignation, but you sound very similar to a friend of mine who grew up in Alabama.
Here is a recording me, reading the first paragraph of “The Dynamo and the Virgin,” Chapter 25 in The Education of Henry Adams.
I tend to sound somewhat more formal and precise when i’m reading from a book. My everyday conversational voice is a bit more relaxed and lazy.
Very cool everyone! Keep 'em coming.
Bambi, you’re a man?!
I’d love to listen to the OP’s voice, but the link just takes me to a page exhorting me to download RealPlayer (which I do not wish to do, and seems unnecessary to listen to an MP3).
Mangetout click on the link that says something like I have Real Player play the file already. It will open in whatever your system is set to play MP3s in.

Got it. Thanks.
I like your voice very much, Mississippienne - have you done professional voice acting?
I was about to ask the same thing. You definitely have a great voice for it.
No, I haven’t ever done any voice-acting, but I’m very flattered that you think I could. I hope Agent Foxtrot can post something – he has a wonderful phone voice, I’ve told him lots of times he ought to go into radio.
Here’s another mp3 of me trying to read a passage from Pamela Kaufman’s historical novel Banners of Gold, about Richard the Lionheart and his tender romance (!!!) with a young girl (!!!), without cracking up. I swear all this dialogue is Kaufman’s own! It was not exaggerated for comedic affect!
Here’s me reading from Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, specifically the entry titled “Radio, Song on”.
Okay, I’ll offer a couple of things:
Here is me doing a reading of O. Henry’s “After Twenty Years.”
And this is me doing “My Financial Career” by Stephen Leacock.
No :mad: 
:mad:
Later on, when I have a chance, I’ll record myself being more conversational. The more I listen to my two, the less I like them.
You used to be able to hear my voice on all the Konica Minolta websites, but now only a few markets are still using it.
Here’s me in China. The copy comes up in Chinese, with me speaking in English at the end.
To be honest, it was only meant as a demo. We never thought they’d actually use it as is.
