Bloopers - 2

Even when said correctly, "with the Methodists" almost sounds wrong.

These are awesome, I commend you for doing it all without reading thru aloud first! I've tried that but spent way to much time editing out all my mistakes

I will try to save more of my own stumbles though to post, I do love hearing them from other people. The struggle is real!

This week I stumbled around with the phrase, "evil shall not sojourn with thee" for whatever reason I kept saying "shojourn."
And also had to do a double and triple take with the oddly worded, "All the night make I my bed to swim."

Thanks! I hadn't really thought about it before, but there are probably a couple of reasons why I don't rehearse before recording:

1. I have so little time to work on LV projects. It's all I can do to record one pass and edit it down.
2. I like to approach the material fresh. Even if I did have more time, I fear that if I rehearse it too much, it'll start sounding rehearsed. Even when I stumble over a phrase and have to repeat it a few times, the later takes sometimes sound (to my perfectionist ears) a little more stiff than the earlier ones, even if the stumble is gone.

Ah, so good to start a recording session on the right foot...

Just an average recording session: an added random consonant for good measure, a "flathering" lip then later the assumption for some reason that the flatterer would be a tongue instead of a lip as it was before, and finally a "poof" instead of a "puff".

I did have a "puffeth" in a previous chapter, "his adversaries, he puffeth at them"

My recording space is in a noisy place (beside the refrigerator), so I'm accustomed to noise reducing after recording, and praying that the fridge won't start running (or stop) until I finish recording. Recently, I decided to try recording in a different space in my building, a little-used lounge, which also contains a fridge. The first couple of sessions there went really well. The fridge seemed quieter than my own.

But on this particular day, it suddenly started making this odd clunking sound as I was recording a suspenseful ghost story. I tried and tried, but "my emotion was exhausted and a numbness was coming over me," until finally, I just lost it.

Today my voice was vexed by a venerable veteran. Verily!

I read the same German text twice: First from a source that I later found had no visible year of publication = no can use, work for the bin , then from a much older version from 1839 with notably more outdated language, in that weird old Fraktur font that makes it easy to confuse one letter for another. I stumbled over a sudden English word I'd never heard of and that wasn't in the other text.

When you finally had some time to sit down and record, but your dog has other plans.

I have to be honest, I did not hear a dog in the recording. Bit of a disappointment really, because that's why I clicked the link Click bait!

Yeah. . . you can't hear her very well. The house was finally quiet, and I would finally have some time to record when she start snuffling around at the door. I almost lost it.

Not really a blooper, but this is what happens when your cat walks across your keyboard mid sentence:

My studio isn't really a studio. My desk consists of a nice quilt chest in my bedroom p[;'.,,999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999954r pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0ty9`ytttttttttttttttttttttt

Yes unless some wacky government makes it February 29.

If that did happen, I would still hope for some stuffing and pie!

During a recording session, my neighbour upstairs got active.
