Hi Tom,

Many thanks for your assistance -- it's great to have a professional voice specialist like you on board. Your voice message sounds brilliant. The only thing I'd like to ask you is to turn the volume of your microphone up a little so the playback gets louder.

Regards,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

Yes, I realized after I posted the recording that the volume was down too low. I have made some adjustments that should make a difference. When you have a minute, please let me know if the volume is at a better level.

Thanks again,

Tom

Hello to all those on English-Test.net,

I wanted to let you know, that if you do not have a microphone available, it's okay. If you would still like to hear the proper way to pronounce a word, a phrase, or a sentence, please "type" or post your request in this forum, and I will respond to you with a recorded message.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Tom

Hello to everyone on English-Test.net

This is Tom Kane talking. I have been speaking with Torsten and we hope that you will continue to check back on the recorded message forum and consider posting a message or a pronunciation request. I know that many of you may be uncomfortable with speaking the English language, but we are here to help you. So please, just leave a message or type your request, and we will respond to you.

Take care!

Hi Tom,

Thanks a lot for your latest message and your email about the navigation issue. You are right, at the moment the online voice recorder is very difficult to find especially since this is a feature nobody would expect on a forum like ours. We've just counted all our forum posts that also contain a voice recording and so far there more than 123. The problem is that there are spread throughout the forum and if you don't know that they are there you will never find them.

That's why we are going to add a voice recorder link to our navigation panels as you suggested. Just to clarify a technical point: You can add a voice message to any text post in any area of the forum. In other words, the online voice recorder is available throughout the entire forum. However, it's probably time to start a special voice recording subforum where we can design specific exercises for those forum members who want to practise their speaking and pronunciation skills.

The first step is create a text that our forum users need to read out loud. That way we'll make it easer for them to get started because they don't need to think about what they should say. Giving a free speech is much more difficult than reading a text.

More on that soon.
Regards,
Torsten
PS: The sound quality of all your forum recordings is excellent. The only thing I'd like to ask is to increase the recording volume of your microphone even a little more.

Hi Torsten,

Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah, I really do think a separate "Voice Recorder" link would be a big help, and a very big hit with those who are logged on.

It's funny you mentioned that we can record in the other areas of the site. I actually posted a few online recordings in the New ESL Member forum.

So, I have turned up my mic even more. Let me know how it sounds.

Thanks again, Torsten!

Tom

Hi Tom,

I think the volume of your recordings is fine now and we can hear you loud and clear. Yes, I've listened to the other voice messages you have posted earlier today and I'm sure a lot of our forum members will do so too.

Tomorrow I'm going to set up a separate audio/pronunciation/phonetics forum by singling out all the threads that contain voice messages. I'll also ask Alan to write a text for our forum members to read out loud so you can give them feedback on their pronunciation.

Have a great day and talk to you soon.
Thanks,
Torsten

Hello,

Thank you for sending us your question. This is Tom Kane speaking. If you can, please type out a few words that you would like to pronounce better and I will respond back to you. There are many words that begin with "P" or "A." For example, the word "Please" or the word "Apple." I am not sure what words you would like help with.

Also, what is your name? I hope to hear from you soon.

Tom
