An audio greeting to Majorgeeks

I thought it might be interesting to have some people record themselves saying hello to the world and post them here on the forums, as a sort of round the world sound trip, and to give everyone an idea of all the people who visit here!

Plus, you can all laugh at my ridiculous accent!!

Goldfish Says Hello

 

I love the idea!!

And you have us AMERICANS all wrong. We are suckers for accents! (Well, a lot of us are anyway) OK, OK - I'm probably just speaking for the ladies.

I work with 3 guys from South Africa and Zimbabwe -- of course, everyone thinks they're from England - which is a very different accent (I can tell that now) but they just melt the girls hearts when they talk on the phone.

 

Haha! Well, yes... my accent is just the southeast accent... it changes MASSIVLEY going around the country... northern, south-west, even london which is a few miles away has a different accent!

girl = gal in london!

 

good idea! but how can we do it? wot software do we need?

 

Start -> run -> sndrec32

You'll need a mic!

since it'll only be a few seconds long, wav will be fine, but if you can, compress it using mp3.

 

OR put it in a zip folder.

 

Thats a good point, as you can't upload wav or mp3's to the boards. Zip probably won't do much for wav files (they're not very compressable using zip), but it will allow you to upload them.

 

Any takers? Would be a bit of a shame to have it stop before it even starts!

 

,,Goldfish,,think its great ,,can always record one load to server and post link,,I have one from my old website ,,take a peek..just have to make a new one !!!! for majorgeeks LOL

I could probably do better though!

Kolya wanted to put in her "hello". She wanted to sing "twinkle twinkle little star". Drexel had a special hello as well

 

goldfish i dont have a mic, but it was so nice to hear that english accent of yours. i still sound very english. i went to a 'posh' school. hubby is from the medway towns and would sound like " 'ello from 'awaii, inni' ma'e." (dont know how to reproduce a south london accent in type. see if you can clarify for me. lol) aloha

 

Hahaha...! star... ooo err!!

cindy - hee hee! your kids are so cute!!

This is really fun!

Hmm, ive an idea, but it would be a little more effort than this, but we'll see

 

'the water in majorca dont taste like wot it oughta !' try saying it without pronouncing any of the 't's. lol (cept 'the' and 'taste')

 

Hehehe

I think I went a bit mad!!

 

lmao....thanx goldie. bit of 'ome 'umour, innit.

 

Thanks!! I did that at home just before work...can't do anything here at work, they do not allow speakers. They're afraid that we'll play music and it will be heard in the background when we are on the phone. So I'll catch up with all of the howdies when I get home tonight.

 

Goldy - I'm loving the accent. So lovely

Chris - LOL..only you would think of that

 

Great thread idea goldy, and you do sound cool. At least to us uncouth yanks.

I'd add one here, but the only mics I have are low impedance XLR condenser mics, and they and my old Mackie mixer are packed away. But I'm enjoying hearing the rest of you.

 

Um -- what's a "glenn snot e-book" cost these days?

 

"See, I told you so"
(Just repeating myself, Goldy.)

 

Very cute -- where was your voice though?

(I thought we'd hear "put the microphone down!!!
Stop hitting your sister with it...did you hear me!
I said stop it or I'll, um, is this still on?
Uh, how do I turn it off...?"

-- Oh, sorry, that's what mine might sound like -- if I had a mic.




(there's going to be a big rush at stores now for mics -- can't be very expensive)

 

Im from North West UK and as soon as i can find my mic i will give it a go

 

here it is..... if it worked

 

Ooh, I have a headphone amp which you can plug into phantom powered mics and plug a minijack to jack into the sound card.. very handy when i dont wanna get out my great big studer mixer to do a little bedroom recording!

Nice one nickson

Hee hee hee... English accents are cool, eh?

 

Here's one of my son when he was about 3 (he's 9 now) and called me at work; someone had a microphone and was able to record it. I use it as my new mail notification

 

LOL@peg about 2 grand LOL--and beware of the buggers LOL

 

lol, i dont like mine

 

Your accent is great! Reminds me of my half brother's nanny

 

I was born and raised in Southall, Middlesex, and I get accused of sounding like Walter Cronkrite! (C.B.S. News Anchorman of the Vietnam War period).

My U.S. college days have a lot to answer for!



Oh well, as he used to say "That's the way it was"

 

im not that old

 

my daughter feels left out so here is her greeting.

 

No, not nanny as in grandma, as nanny as in babysitter type person!

 

I just listened to Goldfishes first one and he does sound exactly like harry potter! LOL

Sry goldfish lol

 

thats better lol, i thought it was only the foreigners who called em nannies

 

What do you call them then?

She is a nanny, because she looks after the kids while their parents are at work, picks them up from school, that sorta thing. My GF is going to be a nanny quite soon too!

 

babysitters, childminders, mugs etc

 

Mugs?

Nickson your daughter sounds cute! And yeah, I'm a sucker for accents too. I'd post my voice but I'm getting a lot of distortion off my mic. Probably time for a new one :\
