New Readaloud chapter!

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Our very own ninedaysaqueen  has completed a new chapter in the sounis readaloud!

You can listen to Chapter 2 of The King of Attolia here.  (You must be a member of the community to view the readaloud post.)  Go to the post and scroll down to KoA Ch. 2.

Go listen to Lady Jane's spirited reading of Gen and Irene bantering in poor Costis's bedchamber, and Gen lying about how he never lies.

If you've signed up to record a chapter, there's no time like the present.  Yes, I know you're busy.  Those who have not completed chapters in the past year or two can expect an email or LJ message asking if you still want to claim your chapters.  If your circumstances have changed and you no longer want a chapter, please leave a comment here and I'll pass it off to someone else.  If you'd like to record a chapter, leave a comment and I'll add you to the Sounis Waiting List.  Remember, there will be  lovelylovely chapters of a brand new book available soon!

Spirited? Oh, thank you. I'm glad you got it up.

I hope everyone enjoys the chapter. Just ignore my childlike voice. I blame my genes for my small size.

Just ignore my childlike voice. I blame my genes for my small size.

You definitely didn't sound childlike!! :-)

Though, I think you would sound a bit different in an actual conversation in RL

Small size? Of voice or of height? lol

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

Of height. We short people tend too have high-pitched childlike voices. Actually I don't sound that different in RL. The narration is the closes to how I speak. I changed my voice slightly for the characters.

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Okay, that's what I thought! (About the changing voices thing)
Height is all very relative.

You know what's really cool? I pronounce Teleus like "TEL-LEY-US" and not "TEE-LEE-US"
and Costis "COAST-IS" and not "COST-US"
is that odd? I sure hope not, though if I ever DID a reading, I'd want to know the general pronounciations

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

I pronounced the names as they are pronounced in the KoA audio book, but Mrs. Tuner says you can pronounce them anyway you prefer.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I am interested! I have some podfics up here (http://rashaka.livejournal.com/tag/audiofics/podfics), if you want a general sense of how I sound.

Have the previous books been done? I'd like to listen to them.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Teleus like "TEL-LEY-US"

Me too! Though, Costis would be "Cost-as" or "Cost-us" to me.

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

Very nice! I like Gen being petulant. :-)

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

I tried to make him sound a bit whiny and very sarcastic. I had fun with his voice. Irene's was even more fun. I tried to go for darkly foreboding laced with exasperation, which is a challenge with my voice. Costis and Telues both only have about two sentences, so I really couldn't play with there's.

I'm glad you like.

Oh and if you're curious about my height...

I'm 4'11"; but my eldest half-brother is 6'2". The closest to my height is one of my half-sisters, who is 5'2". It's safe to say, I have half-siblings from both parents, and I got the short end of the stick. My paternal grandmother who checked in at 4'10".

I think I've said this before but - if I still have chapters someone else can have them.

[drashizu.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I never signed up but if there are any chapters that need reading, I'll do it. I have a mike now.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Welcome, rashaka! If you click on the above link to the new chapter it actually takes you to the entire readaloud. (You have to be a member of sounis.) You can see who all is signed up and the completed chapters show up as a blue hotlink. enjoy!

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

And idiot me, I said welcome but you've been around for awhile. Oops.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Thanks anyway, LOL! Actually, I'm still confused a bit. It looks like all the chapters are taken...?

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

They are right now, and there are a few people on a waiting list. I'll add your name to it if you want. Soon, there will be many many chapters of the new book available.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. Since some of these were assigned back in 2007, have you confirmed that everyone is still intending to participate? If there's people on the waiting list, then we could help wiht the chapters that have not been done yet.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

I've poked a few people. We'll see if they are still interested.
