I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

I'm soooo doing a recording of me saying this.

If you're searching the lines for a point, well you've probably missed it; there was never anything there in the first place.

Okay, so here you go.  Don't murder me!  It's a little over five minutes long...

And yes, at the end I pronounce Psyche as [sahyk] instead of [sahy-kee].  Both are technically correct, though the latter is the correct pronunciation for the way it is written in the poem.  My mistake.

Me saying this tongue twister!

Ummm oh boy...must be the difference of states...because I say a lot of those words differently Ket!

*giggles*

Oh and I so love your voice!!

I loved this! It was great fun. xDD
I thought about recording it, but I'm really supposed to be studying for a midterm at this moment... *flees*

I got through the hole thing before I realized the built in windows recorder only went to 60 secs. :(

That's a much softer inflection of your voice than I've heard before. You did damned well with it!

Stupid darn phone didn't send what I had typed!

I had to push myself to say aunt like ant.  I've never said it that way, though I know quite a few people who do. 

-blushes-  Aww thanks.  I always thought my voice was high pitched with a tiny bit of gravely-ness to it.

Probably because I was speaking softly and slowly.

Wow, this is really fun and a great find. I think some of the words are traps, though - for instance, bass could be pronounced like the instrument or like the fish. I tripped up there and then was second-guessing myself the whole way through. But I still got most of them right!

Funny how one word could be pronounced different ways. I wonder if Texans and New Yorkers would argue about how "Houston" is pronounced? :)

Ooh, I did one too xO!!!! *totally excited <333*

It only took me three tries to get it right, though I did have to look up Islington and Balmoral, as well a couple of the other words.

*laughs* Actually, the reason I messed up the third time was because my housemate interrupted and I started speaking in Chinese midway through.

*going to listen*

And yeah...I didn't do it because I don't know some of those words either *laughs*...and you heard my voice Caeli...they'd all run screaming!!

Uh huh...you and Ket with your sweet voices then my obnoxious scratchy one...sure ::)

Of course I've heard you speak before so yours isn't too much of a suprise (with how you say the poem)

This is fun...we need more people to do this!! ;D

I promised I would, I just need to find the time!

Well I've heard your voice too...so yours won't be too shocking either!
 

Caeli

Actually, what would be REALLY fun... is to have a whole bunch of people say it, and then make a mix so that a different person is saying each line of this thing. ;D

Haha sure would!!
 

Josietta

*claps* yay!! You girls did great with that! I think i'd goof up half through and just keep going. The heck with re-recording. haha.. i'd probably laugh at myself too. But the different line each is a good idea! Also, we need more guys doing this! I'll do my own tomorrow, when i can speak above a whisper, or rather later today now that I look at the clock. I know K said he would, what about some of the others? I'm sure some of you guys speak quite well!
