Please listen to my AudioBlog

Microphones are pretty cheap, Glenn, if you're thinking of buying one. I bought a headphone/microphone coupled with a webcam for someting like 5,000 yen some time back. If you only want a mic, you could find one for cheaper than that without a problem, I'm sure!
 
レオンマラインさん、いや!あしかさ~ん、こんばんは!とうとうデビューをはたしましたね!イエィ!!I really enjoyed your ashika story, hahaha! Kudaranai hanashi is very welcome! Now I can't wait to hear your yakuza speaking in Kansai accent! And, as Cue-san said, you can speak Japanese real fast, way too faster than I do!

このケロログっていうブログサイトを使うと、家の電話とかケータイからパスワードを入力する事によって、マイクなしで録音&アップロードが自動的にできるんです。でも、私は、電話料金がもったいないので、(何度か録音しなおして、一番マシなのを選んでアップロードしたいから)無料のmp3録音ソフトをダウンロードして、パソコンにつないだマイクで録音しています。
♪超録 - パソコン長時間録音機 フリーウェア版

今まで2回、録音&アップロードしてみて、音質とか雑音は使うマイクによってかなり左右されるかなって感じました。1回目と2回目では、違うマイクを使ったんですけど、かなり声が違って聞こえますから。お忙しいとは思いますが、ぜひ、epigene さんの声を聞かせて下さい、とっても楽しみにしています!

A mic doesn't cost that a lot. Mine was like 1500 yen or so and it works alright. I am not trying to force you guys into getting one, but I still would be really happy if you joined us.

I'd have to get a headphones/mic set, because I only have a port for headphones on my computer. Eh, 5000 yen, huh? I don't know....

There are also webcam/mikes or headphone/mikes or any other combo's you can stick in your USB port. 👍
 
Methinks you have no choice but to go with the USB option, because I don't think that you can plug a mic into a headphone jack and have it work. (Actually I'm quite certain about that.)
 
Yeah, so that's going to get even more expensive than just a microphone, or even just a microphone/headphones set. I was afraid that was the case.
 
USB hubs are pretty cheap, too, you know. Just get a small one, and you're talking about a couple hundred yen maybe.
 
Really? Less than a thousand? I guess that isn't too bad.
 
I'm certain that you can find a USB hub for under a thousand yen. Go to a Yamada Denki or some place like that. They're have a whole wall full of them.
 
Alright, I'll keep that in mind, then. Thanks for the heads up! :-)

Everbody seems to think I sound like Doraemon for some reason...
Oh, I didn't think you'd sound like Doraemon. But like Edward mentioned, you guys have deeper voice than I'd imagine. Or is it just that Japanese guys have much higher tone...?
Ashika(Leon) said:
Well yeah I was kinda nervous so that makes me talk faster.. You see, I stutter sometimes, so I try to cover it up by talking fast..
Ahh, I see. Yes, I understand. When I speak on the phone I always get nervous and I can't talk properly myself.:(
But anyway, you sounded good, I couldn't tell you were being nervous.

I don't own a mic either... I'm too shy when I'm sober. 😊 LOL
I've talked on the Skype without mic once. I mean, only he talked and I answered him with keyboard, and I (and probably he also) felt so awkward. xD
(And I ended up deleting Skype itself from my laptop after all.)

Japanese guys, in general, have a higher tone of voice, lol, half-Japanese are hit-and-miss though, some (like Leon) have a lower voice, some (like myself) have a higher voice, hahaha

Haha, I'm saving every single penny I can get my hands on before I move! ごめん it'll be a while before I can put anything up 😌

Excellent! doinkies-chan!
Don't eat too many (too much???) omanjyuu though.🙂
(Hmm, is omanjyuu a countable or uncountable noun??????)
 
Kyoko
I think I would say "too many". I think "omanjuu" is uncountable, since it's Japanese, and Japanese doesn't have a plural. Like, you would say "I want three sushi" not "I want three sushis". It's the same, at least, that's how I would say it!

Doinkies
I love listening to your voice blogs. It's amazing how Japanese you sound, and you're not even again!
Everyone else, I love your voice blogs! Keep posting! I look forward to listening to new ones all the time! ^^
Ohh yeah! I see the problem... It wasn't .mp3... Well, I put 2 voice clips in .mp3, so it should work!!! ^^

Tell me what I should work on with my Japanese accent! O.O I think it's really bad!
p.s. thank you to doinkies, for correcting the hmm... 4 or 5 little mistakes I had before saying it! (and yes, I did read it... I can't think in Japanese [I wish I could]) Well, please listen to the English and Japanese ones! ^^

Doinkies, I had a similar experience with sushi. I ate way too much and, well, same result. I wasn't able to eat sushi again for a year or two (I don't remember exactly when it was). I can eat it again now, though. 回転鮨万歳! :D
 
Impressive stuff Tomii! 👍 Your pronunciation is very good too.
I saw that the titles of your pieces were:
「日本語が話しています」、「英語が話しています」
I think those should be:
「日本語を話しています」 and 「英語を話しています」
Unless some other native Japanese tells you otherwise!! 😌
Keep up the good work.
 
よく出来たと思いますよ。Doinkiesさんの日本語はきれ いで、分かりやすかったです。
Tomiiさん、よかったですね。 You're progressing well. Wish I'd started that young.
leonmarinoさんが日本語がすごく上手で、うらやましい ~です。

Somebody needs to make a list of these things.

Oh, and I love my Logitech headset/microphone combo. Only $15 in America and nice quality. It was on sale, though.

Gotta study for tomorrow's test, now. Ulp.
 
doinkies chan: Just one word. Awesome!
You even say those interjection, "ano..", in Japanese, that's amazing.
You must have a dream in Japanese while you're sleeping, eh? ^^
Your story was really interesting. Grammar, pronunciation, composition, all great. I'm glad you still like manju. ^^

And Tomii, you did great, too.
Just one pronunciation mistake I noticed is "Umare mashita", but other than that, you did good.
Keep up the good work!

PS. J44xm san, what's "Ulp", please?? "Under low pressure"? "Unleaded Premium..."? LOL
Sorry, I searched it but couldn't find it in the dictionary. orz -_-;
