@Alien - Okay, so not like diarrhea.  (But, if you ate a stick of butter, it would melt before it came out, so it might be diarrhea...)

Are you saying my voice sounds like diarrhea?

Ok so from now on, whoever uploads a voice video has to show the length of his or her hair. @Wickedvoodoo, wicked! You'got a sort of northern accent, don't you? You inspire some sort of chilling calm, but it could be everything inspires calm to me today.

@Chester, yeah, also Romans say Umbrian accent is lubricious. Must be true then.

@Richard, I get an error message when I click on the Velvet Podcast link :( That means an invitation to shoot a special vid of yourself for this thread :D

@J.Y. Awesome link to the Royal Society of Lit. It will be very useful today to getting me thru this Day After a Challenging Night Sloth.

More!!!

Jonathan T for Taylor is so right.  Spiderman rules.

 

But don't forget about Batman.  The kid needs to know about Batman, too.  Because Batman uses planning, and that's important.  Those Batman and Spiderman were the cornerstones of my early reading life.  And throw in some X-Men, so he finds out that racism is bad.  God, I love comic books.

Oh, I just got to the post that said

Averydoll: This morning he wanted to watch Batman instead of Thomas the Train.

And I almost yelled, "Fuck yeah!"

I'm wearing a Batman t-shirt right now.

@JY--No, your voice gave me a boner actually.  Then I imagined your smirky face and lost it.

 

I would upload a video but I honestly can't figure out how to access my webcam on my computer. I think the software is messed up.

Mr. Chester Pane alerted me to this thread. I'm jumping in, hoping I can provide something of an eastern Kansas accent. I've heard that eastern Kansas is the most accent-neutral part of the US. I'm not sure that's true. But if it is, prepare for a boring couple of videos.

I recently started a video blog section at my blog. So far, 5 episodes (though only the latest two are new). I'm having fun with these. I may do more in the future.

 

Episode 004: a video book review of Matt Bell's Cataclysm Baby

Episode 005: I find perverted book covers

Haha, awesome.

My first thoughts were adding " 's " to stranger and "of a" rather than "with", but I couldn't find a flasher to replace the guy walking that had a white background and I didn't want banished from LR. Haha.

@Caleb, that's simply awesome! Yeah, my answer is YES to more video reviews. And definitely YES to more perverted covers!

And more accents guys, we need more accents in here.

Came across this two days ago.  Borges lectures at Harvard, emphasis on poetry.  He's postmodern, but hopeful.  It's fantastic.  If you're the kind to actually enjoy discussions on the nature of metaphor and such, check it out.

Werner Herzog reading Cormac McCarthy.  These words may make you feel small.

It's from an NPR thing last year which you can hear in its entirety here.

Oh, Herzog can create such tremendous scenes, yet you hear, he sounds so cute in that audio! And oh, McCarthy's words! Thanks for sharing, Hopz.

You can listen to more accent in a recent interview I made with Jon Spencer of The Blues Explosion. That's me asking questions, you can't see me but I'm there.

Kind words, Hop and Rach! Thanks a lot. We normally interview musicians known on a national level, but sometimes a venue gets to bring more international peepz--although we're not really along the main tracks here in Umbria. So this is our first interview in English at the moment. Hope we'll have more.

And let's hear more voices, LitReactors!

Not at all Rach, I just wasn't sure if I should insult you back or tease you for liking them.

@AD - It's so odd to hear your voice (I just found this thread the other day and watched everyone's videos) since I always imagine everyone online has speaking like a new caster not people I know irl.

This is me narrating a video so a friend can see what my 1st draft looks like.

You can't hear my voice, but I think I did a little "ki-yap" and this was seven years ago. I'm not too good with today's technology. I have cheap phones now.

I go by Jen Tran now...or Jennifer. If you call me by whatever my name was in that video, I would advise you to sleep with one eye open tonight.

Jen, you're into competitions for breaking things. That's awesome!

Ok there's no voice, but who knows, the video could be of inspiration for breaking things/martial arts noises and shouts.

Thank you.

I miss breaking boards. I haven't done it in three years. There was a slight yell, and sorry if that's all I have. I'm not really good with technology. I just know what I need to in order to function daily. I wanted to contribute and all. Maybe it could be me breaking out and unleashing my inner awesome creativity?

I enjoyed the hell out of this, glad it was mentioned in the other thread I was reading. It was so fun to see/hear everyone. I feel like I know you guys now.

Flaminia, your voice is all kinds of amazing. Like most people, I do find something fun and pleasant about a voice with an accent wildly different from mine, but yours was amazing. Like a windswept valley of sun-soaked flowers. I kept waiting for you to break into song.

And Martin, dude, that hair. Kudos. I have long hair myself, but even at its longest, I'd say my ponytail was a good 5 inches shorter than yours. Impressive, my friend.

Yes, time to bump this again. All Reactors' and Reactresses' voices should be singing here.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Michael. I'll probably interview Marky Ramone tonight, so you'll get more awkward Umbrian accent, folks! Stay tuned.

As is my pattern, I found the cool thing that everyone else who is cool did so long ago, and I, in a pathetic desire ot also be cool, want to do the cool thing too... Yah, redundancy is wicked cool.

Anyway, I would have no qualms about submitting my own bit of vocal graffiti, if I knew how. I have a working web-cam, a working mic, and all that jazz, but I have no clue how to make a video with it via youtube or anything else that I could post here.

If anyone even gives enough of a fuck about this silly little particle right here, I'd love to learn what I need to do to join the fun.

PS- Flaminia, this was a god-damned brilliant idea, and I'm so glad people took it and ran. Very cool. Also, it wasn't until this thread that I realized that my absolutely dreadful vision was at its failing best in reading your name. For the longest time, I thought your name was Flamingo_Killa. Which would still be awesome, but good to know what it really said.

Photon, in youtube you can directly record a video with your webcam. Just click on Upload from your YT account, then on Record From Webcam.

Flamingo Killa could be a cool idea for my next alias, I'm considering it now, thanks ;)
