    I'll try to get it done as soon as possible:) Although now I have no idea what to read and I don't think I could just talk spontaneously like you did. Ah man, I seriously can't think of anythingD:! Haha, you got any ideas:D?

      Yeah, you could always pretend to be spontaneous but have a load of hand-written reminders about the subjects you are going to talk about. Like I did. :P Only half of what I said was ad-libbed.

      Why not pick a subject close to your heart (Alan Shearer :P) and just talk about it for a minute or two? Write down some cue cards, then practice with them. That's what I did. I ran through it twice and then recorded it while it still sounded fresh and not too rehearsed. :D

      Or you could pick something that is actually supposed to be read in your accent, like:

        Pahaha, there is no way I'm reading that:L! I think I'd die of embarrassment!

        Ahh, I'm just gonna be a wimp and read the quote. Although, I don't think we can be the three English musketeers, since I'll have to wait an hour before I can record:'(. :P

          lol, I know. I was teasing you a little bit. I knew you'd never do it in a million years and I would have laughed until I was sick if you did.

          I'm only getting one voice per day now, so you've got time... :D

            Yay, I just recorded it. Once I work out how to use my sisters iPhone and then convert it, I'll send it your way:D! Although, I'm not good with Apple, so this could take a while:S

              I don't mind converting it at my end if you struggle. Very few people actually sent MP3s and I managed to convert most things. :)
