Bloopers - 2
It seems this particular recording session was ill-fated right from the start... https://librivox.org/uploads/bloopers/troublegettingstarted_hobbit.mp3
Between being a full-time college student and working 20+ hours per week, I'm not able to be involved at LV these days, but I remain a loyal fan and look forward to a triumphant return sometime in the (probably distant) future.
When somebody compiles a book of phrases authors aren't allowed to use for the sake of audiobook narrators, I believe the phrase "from which she suspended" should be included.

Glad I realised what I was about to say...

Hehe, you're funny.Also with the one from Peter Pan, I had know idea how much you sacrificed in order to make this book...goodness with tongue twisters like that.

Having heard your attempts, I have to agree! Sounded vaguely like "seashells she sells..."!Hobbit wrote:When somebody compiles a book of phrases authors aren't allowed to use for the sake of audiobook narrators, I believe the phrase "from which she suspended" should be included.
For my own part, I would like to ban the phrase "primary parameters". For a few moments there, I thought I was doing "Peter Piper"!

For some reason I can't record tonight......WARNING - Very loud noises, I don't recommend headphones https://librivox.org/uploads/bloopers/fourthofjuly.mp3
It wasn't even dark when I recorded this --- there are a lot more going off now, though not all as close by.

Let us add the phrases "first to draw blood" (https://librivox.org/uploads/bloopers/firsttodrawblood_hobbit.mp3) and "that they brought with them" (https://librivox.org/uploads/bloopers/thattheybroughtwiththem_hobbit.mp3; this one really shouldn't have been that hard) to the banned phrases list.

I am ashamed of my dirty mind, but this phrase didn't translate from the page to my brain quite the way J.M. Barrie intended, and I couldn't stop laughing. https://librivox.org/uploads/bloopers/shameonme_hobbit.mp3
ETA: From the same session - my dad had to come into the room where he knew I was recording and thought he might as well make ridiculous noises since he was interrupting me anyway.

Happiness is not a destination, it's a way of life

Yup, those pesky syllables just won't stay in the right order
And here's mine. Polish doesn't distingush between long and short vowels, so any English fragment when these alternate in rapid succession is likely to cause me trouble. Example:

Having trouble getting started today... first the disclaimer (I should DEFINITELY not be making mistakes with that by now!) and then the chapter title.
