(i'm excited to do this task.)
A project I just thought of yesterday will be PERFECT for this.
Yes.
Awesome, I'd been meaning to record myself reading a book in Esperanto just because there are so few easily-found free audiobooks in Esperanto online, now I have a reason to force myself to get off my butt and do it! Hmm, will have to be something in the public domain, though, if I'm to make it accessible for all...

i knew as soon as i stumbled upon this task that i would complete it, and i admit that so far, of all the ones i've attempted, it has been my very favorite. this isn't so much because i particularly love reading books into cheap microphones which i ...

I've always hated reading aloud, since the days of endless social studies classes where the teacher would make all the kids take turns reading from the book. And I have difficulty listening to lectures or books on tape, because I fall asleep or space...

I'm an author. It pains me on occasion, but there it is. I'd been working on this task for ages - the editing, the recording, the signal degradation to get the perfectly right tone to the recordings. Perfectly right to me, that is. I take comfort in ...

-I decided to read some stories. Some are personal favorites, some are stories I used to teach. I've included each track's length in its title. -There are a few errors in pronunciation, a few transposed, added, or dropped words, a few stutters. P...

I love Richard Brautigan, and so does a friend of mine, so it was a no-brainer to recite a few Brautigan stories and give them to my friend.

I thought it would be fun to combine this task with another one, so I decided that once I'd made my audiobook, I would give it away by burying it for a friend along with some kind of thematically appropriate treasure. After a couple of trial runs ...
