We know everything else about you? Why not what you sound like? I bet you all have weird accents, strange pitches, and generally unusual rhythms with your speech.
Whereas I sound awesome.
I suggest everyone read the same passage so as to establish some uniform standard. How about: "Sometimes, salient truths result in nothing but foolish, quirky enterprises devoid of valuable production; instead, we receive lean, mean gains to compensate for our palpable yearning for private, horrible, Xanadus wild with stagnant decay and insensibly imbued with the festering fallacies of kingly quaintness. Participation for all, no Gnosticism, this is just measured fun with rarely respectable, though generally garrish, phonetics! Also, the words 'starter', 'plot', 'hole', 'cannon', 'fox', and 'tank' because those other sentences are too beautiful to bastardize". Really a good mix of sounds in these sentences which compliments the greater philosophical points and comedy.
Included here (http://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlBYlJZWlQ4aU4zZUE9PQ) are two voice samples!
(Relatedly, I know nothing about audio compression)

I don't have nearly enough time to record myself saying that stuff, but I do have a video on YouTube of myself talking about my Chaos Emerald. If you are interested in hearing what I sound like, follow the link below. Just note this: My voice sounds a bit higher than it usually does in the video, and I took it at night when I was quite tired, hence the lamp providing light. My speech is kind of blurred and rushed too, but at least you get a general idea what I sound like.

I won't bother with that passage, but between the six parts of the Announcer Chronicles series that's almost 5 hours total, and enough to to hear any sound the passage could try to stress, many times over.
part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3f-4g4kLiM (at this point I was definitely trying to alter my voice for a self-perceived "announcer" role)
part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDfiRDCcus4 (still some remnants of that forced accent, but after this part it pretty much vanishes)
part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KRoe6dYiv0
part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKBfpC3cfYM
part 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifh-CprO9wI (here I invoke my quieter voice to represent a second character, though there have been complaints that it's too hard to hear against the background static and game soundtrack)
part 6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXAqYp4jE24 (Want a fun way to destroy your voice for a while? Talk nonstop for this long.)
-
Hehe, I'm lame. But I wanted to read that text, dammit!
Weird though, usually I sound ridiculously congested. :'D

I sound horrible. <_<
More horrible than I thought. But I couldn't hit too high a voice without looking stupid to my sister in the other room.
To make up for it, you shall see a face from my household!

EDIT: SkyLights sounds like a big-boned scifi nerd. SkyLights, consider drawing Tikal in Star Trek garb now >_>
-
Skylights sounds exactly like I imagined!
And Quartz, your cat has an awesome voice. XD
Also, do you speak Finnish? Or was the page language a random thing?
-
Also, do you speak Finnish? Or was the page language a random thing?
I only know English. Also, page language? Wha? I haven't seen any finnish.
-
That's strange, the page showed up in Finnish here.
-
I would but I can't figure out how to record from my mic :(
-
Okay, you may need to turn up your speakers a bit to hear me. But yeah, this is nearly the first time my voice has reached the internet. Also Sound Recorder sucks.
Sorry that I sound really damn bored, but it's 10 PM, what do you want me to do? Anyway, I'm going to bed. Appreciate me, or don't appreciate me, I don't care.
-
I had to use my digital camera to get my voice since everything else failed.

I made a video today of my voice. ....and I had another one with my voice on it that I made a while back.

Bollocks to reading out shit <_<

Here you go!

This is me reading the first two paragraphs of TSC's Visitor Orientation (http://www.soniccenter.org/siteinfo/orientation) spanish translation. Maybe you are not aware of it, but TSC has been partially (about 10% <_<) translated to castillian spanish. If you want to see the text that I read, just select "EspaƱol" in User Settings and go to said section.
By the way, I emphasize the fact that you have to read the rules before submitting. So it could even be useful in the future to warn spanish-speaking BSers if they don't speak english. xD
Zeupar's welcome (http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s23/Zeupar/?action=view¤t=zeuparspeakingcastillianfromspain.flv).

My comments (because I have no way to add my own at the moment....)
genus - Now I have to attach that voice to my LandGrab rival? Wow, beating you should be cake now.
PM888 - Sounds about right I think.
SM - Wow. Just ... wow. I pictured you to sound, I dunno, kinda like an evil person.... <_<
CutieFox - I never could tell if you were male or female. After hearing that, I've determined that I'll never know.
SkyL - Haha, wow, THAT'S a nerd voice. I think it explains a lot.
Quartz - Is your voice usually that high?
Sondow - FAR deeper than I thought it would be.
Bertin - LOL Bertin the Redneck
RPG - Wow, you actually sound like a guy. I.E. Nothing like I thought you would sound. Though kinda muffled. Probably the hair.
Zeupar - Sounds like you could do a seriously good Ricky Martin impression ... do you sing?
Aitamen - You actually sound relatively tame compared to your appearance.
Finally, should I be saddened that I know where RPG's new sig comes from?
-
Bertin sounds like a southern redneck >_____>
I was sort of bored and that was my silent voice...I may put up my louder-like voice soon.
NOT TO MENTION I LIVE IN FLORIDA!
-
I'm kinda really happy about this topic... it's now to the point where I feel like I know about 1/2 the active soniccenter crew...
There are, though, enigmas even now. I think they just stand out more now.
Also, comments on other people:
RPG: A little deeper than I expected, and not nearly as quick and sure of his speech as I though he'd be.
SM: I watched those videos a while back, but between your calsign and how badly you annihilate records, like anti, I expected something along the lines of, say, Shao Khan or Kolimja.
Zeupar: I'm happy I now know how you pronounce your name, and I'm happy to know I've been saying it right all along ^_^
Bertin: heh...
Finally, no you shouldn't.... >_>
-
Quartz - Is your voice usually that high?
I guess so <_<
That's my casual/energy voice, though. However, my more passive voice may be a bit deeper. Maybe. Honestly, you never know how you TRULY sound like until you hear yourself from an external source. Assuming said source recorded well. Still, I had my voice recorded on two mediums (one I couldn't play on the computer), so... yeah.
Now to listen to the new ones.
EDIT: How did I not imagine RPG with a british accent before? Despite the fact he's from there >_>
-
Okay I tried to sound less bored than last time. Not sure if it worked...
Also, when I called Aita generic, I meant he sounded more like I thought he would sound. I don't feel like correcting this over and over, so deal with what I have, and Quartz and Sky please don't hurt me >_>
-
Aitamen wins best voice award. At least so far.
-
/me shoots Sondow <_<
But seriously
/me shoots Sondow >_>
But seriously... yeah, at this rate I'll just keep joke-shooting.
-
/me grabs his AUG A1, takes aim, and shoots Taillow's wings off
I've been addicted to an online FPS with real guns lately, sorry >_>
-
Zeupar - Sounds like you could do a seriously good Ricky Martin impression ... do you sing?
Well... Sometimes... In the shower. Thanks... No, I'm not going to record myself singing "Living la vida loca". <_<
Zeupar: I'm happy I now know how you pronounce your name, and I'm happy to know I've been saying it right all along ^_^

Improvisin' isn't easy dude >_>
I started to get better at it later on though
Which reminds me I have part7 to record
-
Heh I'll be in this. I've got a flu atm so I sound a fair bit different but you still get the accent.
http://www.filefactory.com/file/46b349/n/osg101_wma
Enjoy. If you want me to make more recordings with slang that you request, please, make your cheques out to osg101. :)
-
I say that OSG101 has a voice to rival mine (guessing based on his sick post, that he's right up there with me in terms of coolness) ^_^
-
Yeah mate it's clear we are too cool for this establishment. We should start a club for kickass people. That doesn't contain SkyL.
(Waiting for your fightback sky man because I can hear the word pwnage whistling through the wind right now. You gonna put a stop to that? >:D)
-
It is IMPOSSIBLE to understand a word Mike says when on the phone with him
This I have concluded.
That is all
-
What about you, Ninty?!
-
Which Mike do you speak of, Taco?
-
What about you, Ninty?!
You already heard his voice. Try to remember.../me goes to bed for real
-
Haha I really do sound scratchy and britney spears-like in that recording. Ah well, it was worth dragging myself from my deathbed just to pwn SkyL in such devastating fashion.
-
Australia mike, he knows what I'm talking about, lol
oh and cybrax has a really southern accent, it's hard to understand him too
I posted a video tour of my house in hte post your face topic (I think? or somewhere around here) but that video is old and I was somewhat sick anyway
and I have no way of recording my voice right now
-
Well, I just had to be sure, as I've never heard Thorn's voice either...
Regardless, I think everyone needs to post this kinda stuff in their Bio... I mean, come on, we have Youtube!
-
It'll be a while on my end. Mostly because the only voice recording of mine that I have is me singing a capella.
Bad juju.

Soniccenter Scribbles -gogo flyby.mp3 (http://www.filefactory.com/file/37b296/n/Soniccenter_Scribbles_-gogo_flyby_mp3)
Here's my voice. Enjoy. It is pretty fail, but I will sing something sometime, and it is less fail then. >_> I don't think "I Will Survive" is a good song for my voice though >_>
-
At first you sounded like a guy actually >_> Or maybe I'm just crazy like that.
Asides from that, I wouldn't say your voice sucks :(
-
I don't think "I Will Survive" is a good song for my voice though >_>
Boo <_</me shot
I agree with Sondow. Also, I always pronounced it Fly-bee <_<
-
This was the story of the rise and fall of TSC...
Also, I guessed your voice, yay me!
congrats on keeping straight face through most of that!
-
Flyby sounds exactly like I imagined.
-
Fine, fine, Quartz, just for you. But, I'm gonna sing something else too. Also wtf fly-bee? That is a stupid name.
-
He probably thought it was a Pokemon. <_<
-
I thought I was the only one who's name was ritualistically mispronounced... >_>
-
I-EET-a-men
EYEta-men
Aitamen
At first, my dyslexia always made me think it said "Aitman." Which it retrospect, actually sounds better. >.>
-
I have always read "flyby" as "fly-bye" :(
-
It should be fly-bye, I mean, she even has an alias of "flybai" and if you pronounce that flybee you deserve to be shot :(
-

*flyby shoots Quartz*
-
it's EYE-eh-TAH-men
listen to my voice piece, I believe I said it in there
-
Also...am I the only one who has been pronouncing Bertin like "Bear+tin" (not because they call you a bear >_>). Rolken always makes fun of me for that <_<
-
I say it like bur-tin...
we should really make a compendium of "click to listen" links that all have us pronouncing our names, or something, and stick it in an FAQ >_>
-
I still can't figure out how to record from my mic :( Can someone help?
-
not sure about Vista, but 3.1-XP all have voice recorder... a program that allows you to record your voice to a .wav, which, while large, can easily be uploaded here (via upload site, if nothing else...)
I'll check my mom's comp tomorrow if you still don't have it... she runs Vista ^_^
-
Vista has that program too, Aita.
Also attachments are there for a good reason.
-
Ok....so where is it Sondow?
-
Start button Vista icon -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Sound Recorder
It works fine, that's what I used. Sure, my mic sucked so it was hardly audible, but that's not the program's fault.
-
Why thank you Sondow! I will get to that sometime.
EDIT: ZOMG it's my voice, in all of it's epic win.
-
Your voice sounds normal and not...weird.
I appreciate that.
Also on the note of your avatar, testicles is not spelled testicals >_>
-
Noted...even though I knew that >_>. Just a mental lapse
-
I agree with Sondow. Except on the appreciate part. <_<
-
Just for Quartz - I sing "I will survive." I am still trying to decide on a song that really does my voice justice~
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ts7qvb (http://www.sendspace.com/file/ts7qvb)
-
Yeah, I'm sure there's a better song. I didn't know what your voice was like when I suggested it, though.
-
You sound all... normal...
oddly, that's somewhat what I thought you'd sound like (I had guessed HOW you speak, just not your pitch... I expected your voice to be lower...)
-
I made three samples: one that's close to my "normal" voice, one that's about as high as I can sing, and one that's about as low as I can sing. I only bothered to put music with the normal voice, though.

I got a voice for you right here.

So I'd always wanted to do a tutorial on SonED2 for TUSC, but backed out because I was too lazy and didn't care to have the rest of the family wondering why I was talking to the computer screen. They all left the house for an hour today, so I gave a completely unrehearsed, low-quality, can't-pick-a-topic-and-stick-it video tutorial in that time.
So, um, here (http://cid-f9c5b5f57636c3b6.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Sonic%20Modding/Tutorial|_0001.wmv). Big filesize and low res, because Hypercam and WMM are shit.
-
I got a voice for you right here.
Well that's a smashing bit of crumpet you've prepared sir, and I trust the brew will be to a similar standard, white with two, and you'd better make it Dilmah.
Okay I'll stop now, really. :P
-
EDIT: Also I didn't notice that the first post gives a suggestion paragraph so I recorded that too:
http://surrealchat.no-ip.org/mk/mkvoice_prime.wav
Me reading the TSC orientation (the first part anyway).
http://surrealchat.no-ip.org/mk/mkvoice_tscorientation.wav
Also...am I the only one who has been pronouncing Bertin like "Bear+tin" (not because they call you a bear >_>). Rolken always makes fun of me for that <_<
Yes. I say it as Bert-in, like Bert 'n' Ernie.
-
*sits and waits for voice recording from Rolken*

which is the correct way to say it.
-
On the same idea as flyby will survive, It Doesn't Matter (to Sondow)! (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4UM2L0SQ)
I dunno how well it recorded both the winamp instrumental and my voice though, so feedback plz
-
SkyL, you sound alot like Jaiku.
Anyway.
So I'm getting in on this mess. If you want to hear me talking, you can go watch one of my youtube videos (username is jketchum31, look me up).
If you want to hear me sing... here's the second verse of "Someday Soon" by Julien-K. Yes, I messed up a number of times. I don't care.

Werster wanted me to post his voice, so here it is. (http://www.2shared.com/audio/dfDsKkgP/Squeewav.html)
(You have to scroll down to where it says Last downloaded: Save file to your PC: click here to download it, just fyi)
-
I respect that this topic has not been posted in for a while (well, 2 fricking years) now, but I thought I might as well share my (insert opinion) voice with the TSC world! So here it is below:
Oh, and Thorn sounds A LOT different than I imagined.
-
This is fun, Sorry about the sound of my mic.

And now it's time for SQUEAKY SHADOW!!
