bloom Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I had this idea a few months ago for a thread but I kept forgetting to make it, until Icarus Rex reminded me of it tonight. The idea is that you record yourself telling a story on vocaroo and post it here. Probably the kind of story you tell should be lighthearted and funny or something along those lines, but the only real rule is that it has to be a true story, something that's happened to you or someone you know. So without further ado, here's my contribution to the thread to kick it off: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0gbeORgYG2S I hope this isn't too dumb an idea and that a lot of people participate, because I really love verbal storytelling and I think it's a great time!

darkness-is-the-light Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I never realized how difficult uploading a voice file could be until now. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0GcfRnBID8B Link to comment

Omg I love the story... I'm glad he didn't make a big deal about it. As soon as you started at 1:39 I was like "oh shit, here it comes..." You have a really nice voice, I hope you don't mind me saying! Here's mine, I think it got cut off at the end: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1eOXwAiaFy1 Link to comment

You actually inspired me to tell my own pigeon story, featuring @bangbang (who can totally confirm that this is 100% true). http://vocaroo.com/i/s1V7rUOhHdrU Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 If I can think of a suitable story from my past, I will post here in due course, but I just wanted to say that @Spoo's impression of a talking British pigeon is the best thing ever! Link to comment
Nas Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 this is such a fun thread! Thanks for starting it, Junia. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1psaFRSdjoK It took me like 5 tries, because I'd get all flustered halfway through and start laughing. Link to comment

No, omg, compliments on my voice are my one true weakness.... thank you so much!! Your story was great, I love that he tried to force you to pay him for the privilege of having birdseed crammed into your hand, lmfao, unreal. @Spoo, I was in hysterics over Quasimodo Pigeon, that's so fucking incredible I don't know what to say Anyway, I'm back with another story of my own because something terrible happened to me earlier today, so here you go (it's short): http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Du49yqSNJ3 Link to comment
Zwee Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'm so into this. I love voices SO much, and all of you have had randomly entertaining and great stories. I'm totally contributing as soon as I come up with something worth sharing. Or not worth sharing. Whatever. Link to comment
Sophie<3 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Oh, wow, this is such a cool thread! Thanks for starting it, Junes! Your story made me laugh out loud, btw! That is sooo awkward, I would have been so mortified! So congrats on remaining relatively cool! I haven't listened to all of the responses yet, but I will, because I think it's super cool to actually hear people's voices! I feel like... I've kind of formed voices for some of you in my head automatically, but it's much cooler to know what your voices actually sound like and read your posts in that voice from now on. As for my own response... well... I recorded it, then listened to it again. That was my mistake! I realize that it's normal to hate your own voice on recordings, but I really really hate my voice on recordings. So much so, in fact, that I just don't want to subject the rest of you to it. I'm really sorry! I feel like since I'm listening to all of these, I should also contribute, but I'm just much too shy. Again, sorry. Link to comment
LeapYearKisses Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Haha, everyone's stories are so great! I love the one about Quasimodo the pigeon. What a great idea for a thread. Here's a story from me: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1gmjvoHDyKE Link to comment
Sitruuna Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 This is super cool ok. I'll have to listen to all the stories when I have the time but right now I' just poppikg int o say that I love the idea and will try to contribute something as soon as I can think of a story worth telling.

MaiMai Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 This is such a cool idea for a thread, Junia!! And all of these stories are gold. This is mine. I kept messing up words because I was nervous. http://vocaroo.com/i/s06cLPkhO59M Eta: also it's really loud for some reason!! Link to comment
venuskiddo Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 http://vocaroo.com/i/s1wOAAMYWltJ Haha Im so awkward I'm sorry. Also people in my house are sleeping so I was trying not to be loud. My story wasn't much but this topic is so fun and I wanted to share Link to comment
Big Bear Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 http://vocaroo.com/i/s0HOlHOuFMdD My first voice recording that I've ever contributed here. I hope it doesn't suck. :/ Link to comment
Bondi Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Should I really be doing this? http://vocaroo.com/i/s1v5AEv1Rru4 It's the same story I told in chat last night. Link to comment
Zed Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Well done Mr. Death and Bondi! Not easy to take the plunge but you both did a great job sharing your stories. Thanks! Take care, Zed Link to comment
Guest Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Although I thought that I would never be open about my voice here I decided to push passed the dysphoria I have concerning my voice, and contribute something to this thread as I think that it is a cool, fun one. Several different tales came to mind when I read the premise of this thread, so I may decide to record more of them later on. The one I chose to record was the very first one that popped into my head. Please note that I meant everything in the best way possible. I simply tried to convey everything as accurately as possible to paint a vivid image for you all so that you could better envision the moment, down to appearances and movements. I have great difficulty weaving together words when I am actually speaking, so I apologize if my voice is off or if I just come off as "eh" in any way. Anyway, without further ado, here is my story: http://vocaroo.com/i/s12fkUxoWV6E . It is a little longer than most here due to my drawn-out manner of speaking just as a warning. Also, for some reason I referred to the chief as "the coach." Link to comment
nolongeractive Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Okay, here is my beautiful story, my true to life tale of my first job interview and its poor beginnings! My voice doesn't sound super good cause I don't have a high quality mic or anything, but I copied Sen Beret's idea of adding a spectacular soundtrack to help give my story some star quality. Please enjoy my tale, and take my moral to heart, and remember that we're all super stars at the end of the day... http://vocaroo.com/i/s1xG5YXlTrSt Link to comment
Zed Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Delightful story, Egg, told in a most delightful and charming way. Well done! Take care, Zed Link to comment
Guest Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Warning: You may wish to lower your volume as I ended up speaking somewhat loudly in the following recording. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1uDI949MoTb I apologize for the sound distortion, by the way. My microphone is one of those built-in ones, so its quality is lacking. Link to comment
Poppy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 http://vocaroo.com/i/s0sgT5rHM11f Here we go. Link to comment
Reader Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Posting this before I listen to the other stories! Love this idea though! I really love accents too! https://vocaroo.com/i/s06iHurEQmVS I'm also terrible with computers so I hope this works Link to comment
