I have got to say, that was so cool!!! (And I know you said you tried it multiple times, but still, I'm very impressed with your English, Anna!)

So, how did you actually do the voice post (not that I can try it, but I'm curious)? Do you use a phone or a computer microphone or what?

Still wowed,

Bethy

Oh my god your accent is simply WONDERFUL! Really, it's gorgeous! And your English is very good, too.
My accent seems so horribly bland next to yours.

I've never done a voice post. I keep meaning to ask my friend how to do them but I never remember.

Let us know how things go at uni. :)

Thank you! I didn't think it would impress you so much, since you've listened to my English in all its RL glory... *g*

I used a computer microphone and LJ Talk. I had already installed it, so I just needed to register a phone number and PIN. Then I had to call lj_bot using LJ Talk and record my message. The FAQ says it can also be done via telephone, but I doubted calling in would be free. :p (I'm kind of doubting voiceposting via LJ Talk is free too, though, otherwise why would they ask for a phone number? But anyways... I thought of it as practice. :p)

See ya,
Anna. :D

Thank you for the compliments! ♥ Though I'll never understand why so many of you LJers are so impressed by foreign accents.

Here's the FAQ article on recording voiceposts, hope it will help you: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=183&q=voicepost&lang=

See ya,
Anna. :)

Because they're beautiful, luv, that's why.
No, I dunno. I suppose it really has to do with the beauty and attraction of things that are ususual. Like for me, I don't just walk down the street and hear voices like yours. It's different from everything I'm used to and I think it's lovely because of it.

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's also the reason why I find lovely the 'proper' English accents. :D

See ya,
Anna. :)

[noneedofcrepe.livejournal.com]

That's probably true. :)

[beansideirae.livejournal.com]

eee!!! that's awesome :D i thought i had heard you on doran's skype but i guess not, i didnt recognize your voice. anyway you have a lovely accent indeed and that's a really cool way to post, fun to listen to.

[the-indigo-blue.livejournal.com]

Aww Anna, your accent is so pretty! I could just listen to this a billion times and probably still not take in what you're actually saying haha. But I hope it didn't cost you too much to do, seeing as it took you so long =P

I never have a Valentine either, heh. Though my friend Maili (ninjapirategirl on here) and I exchanged red roses cause they were selling them in school ^__^ So it was pretty cute.

Ilu,

You did great, Anna! Was awesome to hear you speak again. Sorry I haven't gone to the lobby more, and been able to get on Skype and all! One of these days . . .

[rubber-glove.livejournal.com]

Anna, that was amazing :D I love your voice. It's so mature sounding. Mine sounds like a 4 year olds voice. ask Rosie of vea of Rach. It's stupid.

I'm sorry it tok you so long, but I hope it was worth it.

I wishI could make a voice post.

[ksarasara.livejournal.com]

I should do a voice post, too... but I hate leaving messages and hearing my own voice, so I'm not sure it'd go over well. *g*

Sorry the sit-in is still going on, making the exams up in the air. But, hey, at least you get some time off from stressing. ;)

As for the accent discussion... I know Americans, at least, (and maybe others, too) are fascinated by all things foreign. For example, if I had a set of really good looking twins in front of me, if one had a foreign (or even a Southern *g*) accent, he'd be so much hotter. *g* Unexplained phenomena? Who knows? *g*

[judosas.livejournal.com]

OMG! You have a lovely voice and a really nice English accent! It reminds me somewhat of proper English, sorta like the queen speaks, but a bit more American. Very nice. :)

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Clarwyn! :)) Glad you enjoyed this post!

See ya,
Anna. :)

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It wouldn't surprise me :p

Red roses! That's cute indeed ^_^

See ya,
Anna. :)

[le-parapluie.livejournal.com]

You've a lovely voice, Anna! Quite dignified and respectable--one that I'm admittedly jealous of. And as for your English-skills, they're quite good.

Thanks for the voice post. It's always nice to hear what lj-friends sound like.

Will be looking forward to it! I've missed our long conversations (written or spoken) :-/

See ya,
Anna.

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

I heard your voice in those Furby videos! It wasn't stupid! And you can make many different voices too! I only have this one. :p

Why can't you make a voice post? Plus accounts support voice posts! Make one!

See ya,
Anna. :)

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not very much into leaving messages either. I'm not even much of a telephone fan. :p But I thought I'd take advantage of this perk while I still had it. *g*

Hee, interesting. *g* Now that I think about it, I think I had the concepts of 'foreign accent' and 'broken English' messed up in my mind. I enjoy listening to people speaking proper but accented Greek. But it's a rare phenomenon, rarer than people speaking proper but accented English, methinks.

See ya,
Anna (who speaks with the urban, standard Greek accent).

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Sas! :D

See ya,
Anna. :)

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the compliments, Jess! :) Yes, voiceposts are certainly interesting.

See ya,
Anna. :)

Anna (who speaks with the urban, standard Greek accent).

I'm apologizing now... but I really, really, really have to say, "It's all Greek to me."

Okay, I'm done now. Got it out of my system. *G*

[annabtg.livejournal.com]

:DD

See ya,
Anna.

[rubber-glove.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I'm not allowed to download gizmo. I have to use meebo.

Oh XD my videos I forgot about those. It's time i make a new one.

[harmonykat.livejournal.com]

It was lovely to hear you! Your English is excellent, and I love your accent. XD

If I can figure out the bloody voice post thing, perhaps I shall make one...
