Thanks for the chart of modern pin yin, Jing. I'll do my best to be precise. You may find a difference in pronunciation once the semester begins, as I'm a non-traditonal student, and haven't studied Chinese since about 9 years, in high school, but will suddenly resume my studies this year, with a vi...

Thanks, Ava.

I'll try recording using my internal mic (as somebody else used an Acer laptop microphone with good success,) and will submit a follow up shortly, using the anticipated voice for t...

Hi. I'd like to play one of the ship's staff, if you please. It doesn't matter which. Anywhere from porter to Captain.
I can pull off a pretty decent British accent, optionally, tailored to fit the character.

Interesting. I'll just be myself most of the time, though some dramatic roles tempt dialects to arise.

Greetings from Central Maine, USA, where I'll be reading with little or no regional accent from around here, but with accenture that is appropriate to a role, when necessary and possible. This primarily means adopting as much of a great British dialect as I can pull off, as many of the classic texts...
