I’m not sure how many of these I’ll be able to fit on this server before moving them over to ourmedia.org (This one’s 26.3 meg! Ouch!), but as I only have high speed at school and our firewalls here block ourmedia.org’s nifty uploading tool, I’ll hold out for as long as I can.
Two things I noticed when editing this: As everyone finds out when they first record themselves, I say “Um” a lot. I edited a good many of them out, but left them in when I felt doing so would hurt the rhythm of what I was saying too much (In other words, it was too much work to cut them all out.)
Also, I tend to speed up or slow down when I’m talking, thus making my words a little hard to understand at times. This was a little harder to fix in post-production, so I just hope that I can work on this next time I’m recording.
