Wff, what’s going on?! Things have moved quickly since last time I looked! I meant to do this now that the guy who shares my office has gone out for lunch - but are we on to the next thing now?
Maybe I’ll do it anyway.

No, no, you need to go up through the steps, so it’s ā€˜as you were’ and ā€˜don’t worry!’… :slight_smile:

OK then, here’s my offering. (Wps, ā€˜newydd ddechrau’ got stranded somehow in the middle, but I’m not doing it again!)

I think that’s the one that’s made me laugh most so far… ā€˜but he’s from China!’… :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Note to all - no need to talk FOR five minutes - the point is to get through the list of starter words in LESS than five minutes… :slight_smile:

I did this on my desktop using my camera mic and it worked but I did it a while ago (not that long ago though) but when I tried to do this today, I can’t find the feature either so I’ve asked SoundCloud support if they maybe didn’t put the feature away. Hopefully not and they just put it somewhere else than when it was before. However, they re-designed the pages a bit so it also migh tbe they took the feature off for a while or (hopefully not) temporarly. When I get the answer form their support I’ll post here what they’ve told me. I was so looking forward to make my recording this way.

It is/was great feature as you could do recording over and over again until you weren’t satisfied and post it to your profile being also able to give the recording proper things like title, tags, putting it into playlist if wanted etc …

@philipnewton with Audacity if you download proper plug-in which you can find on their page, you can save your recordings into mp3, ogg, and many more aswell. I remember I’ve written about how to instal such plug-in here on this forum …let me find this … Aha, I’ve created the pdf guide on this here. It’s one of my earliest "how to " guides so I hope it helps.

lots of Gogs representing, from what I’ve heard so far. Fair play Goggos :smiley:

Hoping to bump up the Hwntw count (with possible a smattering of Rheged and Brigante) as soon as I can check out the soundcloud technology.

I haven’t counted but I think we hwntws are fairly well represented. Beth amdana ti / what about you @Nicky? :wink:

Here’s my recording of the 5 minute test. I’m mostly using SSiW in bed at night, subvocalising or whispering the Welsh, so speaking out loud and hearing myself siarad cymraeg is still feeling refreshingly weird. Hope you don’t mind my ample amount of um-ing and ah-ing.

Da iawn! This is a really successful step forwards! Languages are always better out loud (said the definition of an extrovert :smile:)

Okay, here’s my extremely boring recording. My ability to make longer or more interesting sentences completely disappeared when the record button was pushed! I didn’t let myself listen to anyone else’s recording until after I recorded mine.

Boring is in the ear of the listener! I think we have all felt the same (maybe this is part of Aran’s cunning plan - after we’ve done this conversations with context may well be much easier :thinking:) :smile:

Dw i’n meddwl bo’ti 'di gwneud yn dda iawn, not boring at all!
I think we are all feeling more or less like fish out of water, but then again… ā€œdesirable difficultyā€, eh? :slight_smile:
(And also da iawn for upping the hwntw score :thumbsup: )

Diolch, @Hendrik and @AnthonyCusack! Yes, I was wondering why everyone was speaking Gog when I first started listening to the recordings, but it got a bit better as I progressed down the thread. Hŵre for hwntws :wink: :smile:

Peidwch chwerthin / No laughing!

That was awful, but there should also be a nice recording of my old church choir on my soundcloud to make up for it!
