Here's my latest. About halfway through I had a "wherein we may walk" which was correct, but I knew I couldn't cut and paste it in seamlessly, so I passed it by.

I have an issue with the traffic outside my window. When ever a car drives by while I'm recording, I have to stop for a few seconds and wait. Today, a car just beneath my window started up, and didn't seem inclined to drive just yet. I had to wait for about two minutes, and although this is not exactly a blooper, it's more of a "what-I-decided-to-whilst-waiting-for-the-car"

Keep in mind that I have allready noisecleaned this, so you probably won't hear much of the car, but, well, that's not really the point anyway

Thanks for offering us this opportunity to have a peek behind the scenes

Well, not really a "peek", but I couldn't find a good word for that

Why do Brits have to have such a difficult national song title?

Good to hear Polish in this section

By the way, you've got a very pleasant voice.

One day, I must save one of my struggles with words. Now, I just have make some particularly funny mistake...

Is it just me or do you, dear fellow LVers, also believe that one slip/mispronouciations triggers others? It often occures to me that it goes (relatively) smoothly as long as I don't make mistakes, but when I finally trip, a true avalanche begins...

Absolutely! I thought I'd do a rough reading first, as this is my first larger project (I've recorded so far 2 poems for multilingual collection). The funny thing was, once I get over the tongue twisting bit, I run into another blooper, this is the scene when charity collectors come to Scrooge's office. The man says that yes, there are well too many prisons, and as he speaks he puts down his pen. Polish word for pen is (phonetically) piooro, I said biooro which means office, but can also mean a desk (bioorko) - I imagined that distinguished gentleman dropping a desk on Scrooge's desk, that was the last drop (pun intended!)

Oh, and when I swear, I swear in English

somehow it feels less naughty

warm regards

I was happily recording the very last chapter of my solo. I was about 3 pages from the end, when I turned the page, and... it was BLANK!!

(Fortunately, there were a couple scans of it on Archive, one of which had the missing page. WHEW! I don't know what I would have done otherwise!)

Applies to other things in life... like Tim Tams... could never manage to eat just one...

Ahh... it's so nice when, out of nowhere, you suddenly start to lisp...
