Don't remeber if anyone mentioned before (maybe I did myself), but fjellström (or actually fjällström) and kalliokoski both mean practically the same thing. Hill creek.

Hill creek.

They have a lot of those on Oahu if you mean "a river on the hills".

Aloha,

Here is another voice ;D. At the end there is a rap song (as we rappers used to do), talking about people that I sometimes don't even know and for example a fried of mine talk him about me and about me trying to create videogames and immediately they think is stupid, you know, those assholes. ;D yhea I didn't have anything to do this weekend.

Sounds like a modification on EA's anthem ;).

Doing audio takes up more space than a text post. Talking maybe easier than typing, but if you compare the file sizes for a text document versus a audio file the audio has been bigger. Yes I tested this, I typed 3 different document files and then recorded me saying them word for word and cut out dead space where I could, but ultimately the audio was larger than the text. With text I could (just an example) rant for paragraph after paragraph, where as audio I would have to attach multiple files or one huge file to do the same thing. Then you have to figure into the equation that almost everyone says 'um' or 'uh' or leave dead space while thinking of what they are going to say next.

Audio is easier to do, but text is easier to fix without re-recording the same point or statement over and over.

Also, I don't think I ever actually talked in the forums, more like fantasized and made remarks to posts. I still do the latter of the two. I don't use my mic because as I said I hate my voice so I avoid any circumstance where I have to talk on the phone or on a recording.

Pretty good song man... I heard it for first time reading a post which redirects to http://www.allegro.cc/music and there is a list of really strange music ;D.

Summary:

  • I attempted to increase the volume of the recording using Audacity's amplify feature. It seems to have worked relatively well. Let me know what you think. It also seems to amplify dead air, which is a bit annoying.

  • Nice singing Johan and family (did you also perform the music or was that the old recording?).

  • Nice rap track, AMCerasoli. Post the lyrics if they're English. :)

  • I attempt to sing Staind's, "Something To Remind You", from their self titled album in 2011.

  • My iPod is feeling neglected and acts out.

Any noise/sound at all will be amplified. Kinda goes without saying.

I tried a couple of singing takes. They were awful, so I put them in at the beginning and end.

I've uploaded my voice to the Internets before, but I kinda doubt I posted it here:

That's a single ukulele. I plaid that first, then sang the voices. Yes, I did all voices. Family didn't.

I do notice I imagine a voice for posters, mostly based on the avatar. Johan has a deep voice for a squirrel. I also tried to listen to two clips at the same time: there was a normalization issue. MiquelFire's voice is almost exactly what I had in my head.
This should speak for itself:

I used Audacities noise removal at lowest setting.
BTW I always read over the first 'i' in Kalioski.

It was In English... :'( I don't have the lyrics in this PC so, maybe latter. Good song, which isn't a rap btw, even when is sung by a rapper, and don't forget to throw that iPod out of the window and get a new one ;).

AMCerasoli, are you philippino?

No, and you van_houtte are you Czechoslovakian?

Yhea we all already know how to pronounce Kalliokoski in his original language and in English. Now that this problem has been addressed I feel much better so I can move on... is a relief, I couldn't take it anymore. ;D The same with HellStorm (A videogame about Thomas).

Question to non-native English speakers: do native English speaking people seem like they talk fast compared to people speaking in your native language? I ask because English seems like such a slow language to me; however, when I hear somebody speak Spanish (lots of that here), it sounds like they are talking at least three times faster. ???

And I even know a little bit of Spanish, but that doesn't really help.

AMCerasoli

Well, I think that may happen because you don't know completely the language or don't have the enough practice, so once you "lose" a word the rest just don't make sense and it may give you the impression that the person is speaking too fast. It happens to me sometimes when I'm seeing a movie or something. But since most what I hear is a radio channel to learn English all the teachers there talk very slow but they do it intentionally. However I have heard the guy at radio Paradise and damn that man speaks incredible slow.

Now, there is another BIG factor that I think is the reason you're not able to understand Spanish-speaking there in your country and the reason is that the 90% of Spanish-speaking people there doesn't come from Spain but South America and many of those guys are very difficult to understand even to us :o. They don't use correct pronunciation and in countries like Puerto Rico people tend to speak REALLY fast, and instead of the "r" they use the "l", which make it even more difficult to understand them.

It happens the same at "República Dominicana" and other countries. Just as a joke, in Mexico you don't say "Hola" but "Holaaaaaaa", ;D So in this case they speak SLOOOW and when you hear them you just want go to sleep.

Here in Spain we have a funny accent you can distinguish from the rest of the Spanish speaking countries in all the world and it's the way we pronounce the "s". In South America and even here at Spain in some provinces the difference betwen the "s" and the "z" is very noticeable, but here we pronounce the "z" as it was a "s" so there is no difference, and that makes a very huge difference, yhea just one letter.

Don't know honestly. Wife says I talk 90 mile an hour when I get going on a subject I'm passionate about. She compared me to the old micro machines guy who talked real fast.

To me they sound like the same speed as German. But German also feels slow to me.

I remember as a kid before I could understand much spoken English it sounded somewhat croaking to me, something like everything they say is "gouwowougowouoagowogo...". Today that's completely disappeared though and both German and English sound rather clear (unless the speaker is from certain parts of England). Anyway, the point is how the very same language sounds completely different to me depending on wether I understood it yet or not, so this makes me agree with AMCerasoli. I also was never able to say how German sounds - since it's just spoken strings of words without any actual sounds behind them, to my ears :P

English is slow. My middle school English teacher had to point out English isn't spoken so rapidly.

Elias said:

Now that you mention it. I often find it comical to hear German television, when they sometimes use words which are related to Dutch or English, and they stress the word by elongating it over a (to me) ridiculously long time.
I guess that makes German slower than English ??? Or maybe the boundaries of acceptable speed are a bit more apart in German than in English.
On the other end is French.
