love this project!
was looking up tongue twisters in german some weeks ago and couldn't find any.
Looks like the project is closed, but just for fun - the German tongue twister for "F" would be "Fischers Fritze"

The contest closed on 31 Oct, and this project is only open to those who made guesses before then. Sorry.

I am getting the message loud and clear that I did not find a tough enough set of tongue twisters. So I am dumping the idea of having a blooper file. Drat. But ye'all better watch out next time I find a set for a project!

Thanks, Todd

Here is L. https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/twister_13_128kb.mp3 Voice credit added and blooper version is now in the beginning with correct version at the end. I didn't duplicate intro/ending however I hope that's what you wanted. Let me know if you need additional changes.

That is perfect. PL OK.

Thanks, Todd

Hmmm. With the total of 96 books added in November now in our Librivox stats history, it could be that everyone North of ~TriciaG in the contest list has over-estimated the end-of-year total. That certainly includes me.

If you are in that upper part of the guess list, and planning on providing a non-obligatory penance twister to this project, you might as well go ahead and submit it now so I can edit it into the master file.

Right now, Spatel2 (guessed 1215) is our current contest winner; we need 25 more catalogings (getting to 1233) to shift the lead to JamesJenkins (guessed 1250) instead. From that, we'd have to get another 30 cataloged (reaching 1263) for the lead to then shift up to JayKitty76 (who guessed 1274). If this month's cataloging rate is more near normal, this lead change could happen just after the middle of the month. I will keep you posted.

I am seeing some scheming and skulduggery contemplated in the Contest thread as the excitement builds. I do fear however that there is no plan that can be conceived that will reach up to my part of the list....

Thanks, Todd

Spatel2 has lost out as the number cataloged reached 1233, and the (temporary) winner has changed to JamesJenkins.

Thanks, Todd

Todd,
Do you want anyone to read more than one section?

Post by **ToddHW** » December 11th, 2020, 11:59 am

If you feel the need to read more than one, feel free to do so!

And those others of you that are going to submit, please jump in and make your claims. So I can edit everything together for early 2021 release.

Thanks, Todd

ok then i claim p - you should get some bloopers there

I'll take H. It was hilarious to record and I needed a good laugh! I just got off of a 5.5 hour virtual delivered training session.

The end of the track is the unedited version. This is what happens when I record a twister without pre-reading.

I'm sorry, Todd. I'm certainly 'off' today.
