What Do You Sound Like?

[jordanisonfire]

So, we had this on TW. Why not here? :) Plus, I've never heard Shaun talk, so that's why I posted this, really. As before, we shall use zShare (http://www.zshare.net/). I cannot recall the other one Andrew mentioned. So, post away! I don't think it'll fill up quick, due to us not having many members so far.

Apology accepted, because there was really no need for an apology in the first place. This will likely become a fun thread. Besides, the more threads, the better, at this point.

Crud, my file at TW got deleted because nobody listened to it for 60 days. :( I'll re-upload it soon.

I also want to hear Shaun talk. Supposedly his voice isn't deep at all.

[Tncowgirl]

I would so do this, but I don't have a mic or anything, sorry y'all. I want to hear y'all though so talk on :D.

[jordanisonfire]

If you use a laptop, then it should have a hidden microphone. If it has the "Sound Recorder" program (if you're using Microsoft), then if you use that, it should record. It took me a while to find that. :rolleyes:

[jordanisonfire]

Right, I've posted Me.

[Tncowgirl]

So where would this mic be, i can't find it :'(

[Shaun]

I plan to do this, just give me some time. I've been hella busy writing and going to school. You guys should see the list of stuff I got to read this weekend :D

[jordanisonfire]

Gooooood. No one's commented on my post yet.

[Tncowgirl]

I'm still trying to figure out what the music is. With it playing I didn't notice your accent at first, then when I listened more closly it sounds like your from England, are you?

[jordanisonfire]

Wow, the first person to ever say I have a pure English accent. :)

[Tncowgirl]

Well its true, are you from there?

[jordanisonfire]

Yep, sure am. Hence my location.

[Ichigo]

I wish I lived in England....
Well I have a mic, but I don't know how to use it so I'll ask my brother. But I have a really freaky high pitched voice.

[Nyx]

Hm..same here I have a mic, no idea how to use it. I'll ask my sister though...
Ichigo I bet my voice is more high pitched than yours!

[Carraka]

My voice is low-pitched. I'm told that it sounds sarcastic, but I'm never, ever sarcastic. I assure you.

One of these days, I'll post myself singing. Or playing the piano. One of these days.

[jordanisonfire]

My voice sounds quite high-pitched... as you can hear from my recording. :rolleyes:

[Nyx]

hm.. your voice doesn't sound very high-pitched to me...:)

[jordanisonfire]

Thanks. :) I feel like a loser, though. I'm the only one who's posted, so it looks like everyone thinks that this is a stupid idea. On TW, the first reply had a recording in. Then they just flooded in. Either it's because TW has more members, TW has more members who have microphone/know how to use one or the members on this site are too damn lazy to do it. :P

[Carraka]

I don't think it's high-pitched. But I can't understand a single thing you say, because there's this music in the background. And yeah, I think it's because we're all too lazy.

[jordanisonfire]

I put music in the background because it sounds better. And if you can't hear what I say, all the better 'cos I'm just droning on. :rolleyes:

[Carraka]

I know if I'm going to sing for you, I'll be playing the song in the background, if only because it helps me stay in tune. The question is: which song(s)?

[jordanisonfire]

Um... what can you sing? :P

[Carraka]

What kind of question is that? Uh--mostly I sing stuff from musicals.

XDD That narrows it down some. I think I'm getting used to this typing. If only I could figure out how to write too...

[jordanisonfire]

Well, everyone sings one type of music. Like I sing rock, but am terrible at stuff like opera and soul.

[Carraka]

I can't sing anything I don't listen to, but mostly I imitate. People tell me I should get my own style, but I think copying other people is fun.

[jordanisonfire]

People think I can sing Green Day, but that's only if I have them playing in the background. Makes my voice kinda like Billie Joe Armstrong's. :rolleyes:

[Carraka]

I'll record the next chance I get. First I have to steal the microphone.

[Carraka]

attempt6.wav - 10.21MB (http://www.zshare.net/audio/4603967f0dc959/)

I did it! Some other time, I might sing for you, but you'll have to live with this for now. I sound so -- odd. And sarcastic. Do I sound sarcastic? I don't think I said anything sarcastic, but I can't quite remember.

Edit:

I was chatting with Imelda, and I said a lot of random stuff. And then I decided to record myself saying it. Now that I have a microphone on my desk, I might as well use it.

[Andy]

O_o

Are you sure that's you, Carraka? It definitely doesn't fit with how you speak in your posts. Big difference in amount of sarcasm and excitement (and caffeine? :)), at least that's the impression I got.

That was probably one of the funniest recordings so far, counting the ones on TW.

[Carraka]

Yeah, that's definitely me. I would like you to now imagine that voice saying everything that I type.

Cheese. Cheeeeese. Cheeeeeeeeeeese.

Have I ruined it for you? That was my goal--all along.

[Andy]

Well, I'll never read your posts the same way again, that's for sure. :rolleyes:

"I has bad grammar!" - best line

"I challenge you to not interrupt me!" - second-best line

[Carraka]

Actually, it's "I has bad gramer."

My conversations with Imelda generally become like that. However, I didn't do any Car2 stuff, which would have involved screaming LOLZ into the microphone. Some other time, perhaps. And singing--I have a positively awful idea. Just you wait.

[Andy]

I have a positively awful idea. Just you wait.
Imelda speaks like that. Positively awful. Creepy...

I'll get a new recording of myself up this weekend. I'll try to make it funny. :D

[Carraka]

She speaks like that? I do begin imitating friends when I've been with them long enough, but only real-life friends. I've had dreams about Imelda, yes, but I don't think it's gone that far yet.

Then again, it's all subconscious. Who knows what the other 90% of my mind is doing as I type this? (I hope it's planning my in-class essay.)

[jordanisonfire]

Nevermind Imelda, Andrew, you have a creepy voice. And when you're angry, it doesn't sound like you are. Remember the Skype incident? :P

[Andy]

Nevermind Imelda, Andrew, you have a creepy voice. And when you're angry, it doesn't sound like you are. Remember the Skype incident? :P
Yes, I whisper when I yell. :)

You, Shadow, should not play music that's louder than your voice when you're talking. Defeats the purpose.

Here's me, finally. My voice gets high at the end, for some reason. It sounds creepy, I think.
It Speaks? (http://www.zshare.net/audio/47006902ddcce9/)

[jordanisonfire]

Music makes my voice sound less... weird. According to Lexie, I was dying of pneumonia. :laugh:

[jordanisonfire]

What's that thing you say you do with other people after you say you're not a geek, Andrew?

[Andy]

Er, "eat lunch" ? :rolleyes:

[jordanisonfire]

You have a weird way of saying "eat lunch", then. :P

[Andy]

You have a weird way of saying "eat lunch", then. :P
I may have rushed that bit due to internal laughter. Or it might have been my insanely hard to understand accent. :king:

[jordanisonfire]

...What was the king smiley for?

[Andy]

Um, no idea. It took too long to find an appropriate smiley, so I chose one that I haven't used yet. And probably won't ever need to use.

Oh! It's not a reference to England at all, if that's what you're thinking.

[jordanisonfire]

No, no, I didn't think that. Sorry to sound angry. :)

[Carraka]

"I do, like, have lunch with other people."

I think that's what he said. But don't you guys call lunch "dinner" and dinner ... um, I feel like I've had this conversation before.

[jordanisonfire]

The posh factor of England call lunch "dinner" and call dinner "tea", but I don't.

[Imelda]

Urm, Shadow, it's the common ones wot call dinner tea. It's a Yorkshire thing. :rolleyes:

[jordanisonfire]

Hmm... that put me in my place on British knowledge. :rolleyes:

[Imelda]

Well you should know ... being a Yorkshireman and all. Be proud! Yorkshire makes such things as ... Henderson's Relish, and ... me ... and ... yeah, that's it, but that's enough. :P

[jordanisonfire]

That makes me feel loads better, Imelda. :rolleyes:

[Imelda]

Ok, so I'm here to humiliate myself again. :D Yay!

Moi (http://www.zshare.net/audio/473648536bd8e2/)

[jordanisonfire]

That was a bit... confusing, Imelda. But you're right, though. I'm a geek, I'm proud, I don't care what anyone says about me. I'm not sure about the rich part... some geeks spend about 18 hours a day on World of Warcraft, which damages their health, obviously, and drains their money until they have nothing left. Same for some video game players. But I'm not like that. :) So, geekiness is, in it's own way, cool. If that makes sense...

[Imelda]

Oh I wasn't talking about that kind of geek. I'm talking about the computer-y-programmy-fiddly kind of geek, like what me and Andrew is. :P Geeks are in, and they're worshipped. :cool:

[Andy]

Oh I wasn't talking about that kind of geek. I'm talking about the computer-y-programmy-fiddly kind of geek, like what me and Andrew is. :P Geeks are in, and they're worshipped. :cool:
Imelda means constructive geeks, right? Not WOW-ish zombie-geeks. :D

[jordanisonfire]

I'm neither. So, I don't know what I am... now I'm just confused. :rolleyes:

[Imelda]

The WOW people aren't geeks in the true sense of the word. They're just losers ...

[jordanisonfire]

Are you saying the people who are addicted to WoW are losers or all the people who play on it are geeks?

[Imelda]

The people whose lives revolve around computer games are losers. Geeks are more professional. Fractionally.

[jordanisonfire]

Well, I agree with you there, but modern society revolves around computers anyway. If we didn't have computers, our lives would change. Dramatically.

[Imelda]

Exactly. That's why geeks are cool now. We need them to run our computers, and by extension our lives. :P

[jordanisonfire]

Hmm, yes, you make a valid point.

[Nyx]

Exactly. That's why geeks are cool now. We need them to run our computers, and by extension our lives. :P

Damn now all of us who aren't geeks will feel bad but thats ok cause I am one anyways.;)

[Andy]

Imelda may sound nice, and she may seem friendly, but it seems she's out to humiliate me. :D

By "geek", I meant a person who has no social skills due to computers and stays locked in a room all day, not people who like to write and use computers in general. :P I'm proud to do both of them, and it seems you use a slightly less harsh definition of the word.

[Imelda]

Nah, it just means I'm geekier than you. XD I found a modem wire in my underwear drawer the other day and I out-geeked the computer guy I'm working for by knowing how to do something geeky before he did. So I've joined the realms of geekdom and it looks different from the other side ...

[jordanisonfire]

I have no idea what a modem wire. I'm a geek in all stuff except computers. Computers are not my strong point. I have a lot of general knowledge other people don't have in my year at school. Like, they thought Wiccans were Satanists, but I corrected them in a class talk for my English Speaking. :cool:

[Imelda]

That's just smarts. You're not a geek. :rolleyes: Quit sullying my good geek name!

[jordanisonfire]

Very well, then I'm not a geek. I'm just... unpopular. :rolleyes: I dunno, I have no idea what I am.

[Carraka]

I don't think I'm a geek, because I am in no way tech-smart. However, people at my school don't seem to understand this. Smartness is equated with geekness. Maybe I'm behind in times.

[Andy]

Nowadays, smartness seems to imply that someone spends more time studying than they do partying or hanging out. Which, of course, is totally unacceptable. :rolleyes:

[Imelda]

School kids are dumb.

[Andy]

School kids are dumb.
Um...that could offend a lot of people. :D

[jordanisonfire]

Nowadays, smartness seems to imply that someone spends more time studying than they do partying or hanging out. Which, of course, is totally unacceptable. :rolleyes:

What, that the general idea of smartness is that or its bad to do more studying than anything else?

[Imelda]

And since when do I care?

[Carraka]

Well, if people say you're smart, and then you say that you don't study, they are even more in awe. x.x It's horrific, I tell you.

[Imelda]

Yeah I know. Then the day comes where you don't study and you fail and no one believes you ...

[Andy]

Yeah I know. Then the day comes where you don't study and you fail and no one believes you ...
That's when you show them your test. Then they all realize you're a human being, too, and not a god.:)

[Imelda]

Yeah but they don't. That's the weird thing. You'll forever have your reputation hanging over you ...

[Carraka]

That's when you show them your test. Then they all realize you're a human being, too, and not a god.

I did! I even showed them my report card! -stabs- On the other hand, apparently you can be called a 'geek' and people will still be friends with you. I don't understand the social hierarchy thing anymore.

[Nyx]

Hmm... I know exactly what you mean.. I don't study and I get good marks, everytime I say I got a B people laugh like I'm joking...it's awful!
