So guys. What do you sound like?

"the great thing about Plato is that he had no doctrines."

Trees have no doctrines. Turnips are singularly broad minded.

#102

^ I greatly prefer trees to Aristotle and I don't think I'm the only one.

Yes, more please. We need a talent show thread.

I wrote a short song last year about the self-absorption of today's youth. Maybe I'll record it and share.

Seriously, 217 selfies on Instagram?

Wait who has 217 of those on Instagram? Also, I don't get Instagram at all.

1. Is that for real your voice? You didn't just record some famous Finnish actor, right?

2. If so, it's much deeper than I thought!

3. Did you say "American" a couple of times? Not to be ethnocentric.

#112

What a lovely language.. Despite being quite flat in intonation, there's a real music to it.

1. Yes, it is.

2. I've always thought it's not nearly as deep as I'd like it to be.

3. Yes, I did. Rough translation of the text follows:

Maps before Columbus tell us the embarrassing and confusing fact that travel across the ocean to South America, for example, was known well before the "discovery of America". What they tell us at school is based on medieval rumours. At that time maps depicted the known world in the middle, and in the margins they painted sea monsters and hurricanes to warn us of regions we could not know anything about. On the other hand it is somewhat tragic to live in the present, when maps have hardly any white spots on them.

I love it! Thanks for doing that.

I think your voice is a bit more suited for gibberishfinnish than it is for English.

That was very very nice, Llamster!

Now, the finno-ugric group has some of the most barbaric sounding languages I've ever had the 'privilege' of hearing, but dayum!

I have no idea what you've read, Vomps, butt I think you've just made Finnish sound unexpectedly pretty. Wow! :OooOo

The only language I hate the sound of is Dutch. Oh, and Spanish.

#126

I love Dutch!

I also dislike Spanish. It sounds extremely dirty for some reason. I'm also not a fan of the Portuguese they speak in Brazil for the same reason.

#127

I odn't like spanish either. But I was also forced through a year of it in high school

#128

LIZZZY!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO TAKE THIS DOWN!!! I WANT TO LISTEN TO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!

see above... .also my voice sucks it.

Call me.

#137

On second thought, we'd probably see your number and be like, "Not answering. Telemarketer or debt collector."

#138

If you call on skype you'd know who it is.

#139

Oh my god, so awesome! I loved getting to hear all of you, Vomps, llama (even your fake accent), Mongoose, and Lizzy! So cool.

Very nice song, llama. Vomps, your voice is absolutely badass; I am jealous. Mongoose and Lizzy, both very nice!

#140

Thanks, MP! Your turn next. I keep listening to mine and agonizing over how I said "cantata" like I'm Super Fancy NPR Nancy. Oops.

Not the best, but whatever! Cool website find, DP, this was an awesome idea. You and LT both sound splendid! It is definitely neat to match the voice behind the text.

Bump.

And I can't listen to my voice on recording; I hate listening to myself and seeing pictures of myself. It's gotten a bit more tolerable in recent years, but I still prefer not to.

Thanks dude. I totally forgot I had listened to yours when I first came into this thread a month ago or so.

Cool idea, DP.

I was that way for a long time. Now I'm more used to it, so I'm over it.

OHMYGOD I am so sorry. Are they traumatized for life? I should have put a bigger disclaimer on it.

#149

I am still freakin out that your poor kids heard that. I am SO sorry.

#150

That was an entertaining story. :o

Also, you shouldn't feel too bad. I can't remember what it was, but I think I've posted something in the Shred Room that someone let their kids watch without knowing what it was either.
