Audio Recordings: "Reading and Listening"

Do you have a READING HABIT? If you do, why don't you READ SOMETHING for our club members' LISTENING PLEASURE? It can be an interesting NEWS taken from a Newspaper, a SHORT STORY that you read recently or ANYTHING that you feel worth sharing. It will help you with your READING SKILL and PRONUNCIATION. The club members, meanwhile, can sharpen their LISTENING SKILL. This activity will definitely help both the SPEAKERS and LISTENERS with their English. This is a GOOD OPPORTUNITY that I don't want you to miss. Happy Speaking and Listening!

HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
1. GET READY your READING MATERIAL.
2. GO to CHIRBIT voice "RECORDING and SHARING" site.
3. RECORD reading your piece and SUBMIT it.
4. [Or, you can UPLOAD a pre-recorded sound file from your computer!]
5. COPY the EMBEDDING CODE (HTML code) and COME TO THIS PAGE.
6. CLICK the "MEDIA" button (the third one) on the TOOLBAR of your COMMENT BOX.
7. PASTE your EMBEDDING CODE and PRESS the button "Ok". That's it!

Let me get the ball rolling. Here's my MAIDEN VOICE RECORDING.

Note: I humbly request all the PARTICIPANTS and LISTENERS to COMMENT and CORRECT after listening to one's audio recording. It would be impossible for me to do that all by myself. Sometimes I may not be even around. Thus, I need your help to keep this page active. THIS IS OUR GROUP. Thank you!

Hi, SNR! Very nice try!! Congratulations, you did it. It is not horrible at all! Lovely voice, nice pronunciation. You have a feel for the intonation trying to follow the rhythm. Again, very nice try.

Therefore, stressed syllables are a little bit higher in pitch, and often a little longer and a little louder than unstressed syllables. We all need to improve this ability to find out what exactly to stress )). So do I. There are some words that are needed to be practiced: dioxide /daɪˈɑːk.saɪd/, atmosphere /ˈæt.mə.sfɪə^r/, and company /ˈkʌm.pə.ni/.

Thank you so much for sharing. Your reading is really amazing. I am trying to encourage myself to do the same...Lol. Let's see ))

  Now talking about embeding audio player itself I tried it but don't know why always the link gets posted here.
  
  Will see where the problem is.

  See you around.

  Hi Gorki,.. Your reading is very clear. Except the 'eversince' word I have no problem understanding your recording. Also, I wanna suggest a little variation in intonation maybe to have a color in your voice. Other than that it's really awesome! Please continue reading for us.

  You have to record audiobooks with such voice, Gorki...Such good pronunciation! I really enjoyed listening to you.

  Hi, Gorki! Thank you for sharing your voice recording with us. I really enjoyed listening to you. You have a nice accent. You enunciated each word slowly and carefully. This will definitely help the listeners how those words are pronounced. Thank you! However, as our fellow group members mentioned, read naturally in your next recording. I've spoken to you before at another platform. I found your English was fluent and natural. That's exactly what I would like to hear from you here as well. Thanks again for the great work!

  Hi Gabriel, nice to speak with you again. I am glad you liked the recording.
  
  Thanks for the compliments, and positve feedback.
  
  You point out that i am more fluent when speaking in my own words than i am when i read. Ok, good to know.
  
  I guess when reading i encounter not familiar words, and phrase constructions, however thank you also for your constructive criticisime, it is most helpful.
  
  Have a nice day
