Help a Swedish 15 year old with his English homework

You mean, record a verbal reading of it?

That sounds like a lot of work.

Depends on the lenght of the text.

If it's a short text, it's quite easy..

(I'm not qualified to verbally do it but the technical part is ok..)

I want an audio recording of what i have written.
Well, i don't know if it's a lot of work but if you talk english as your first language it would take about 5-10 minutes to record the text i think.

It's about 1000 words

Agree with Cyclo there, 1000 words is a lot of work..

Why?
Is it hard to record a text?
The english in the text is correct

Have you tried to record a 1000 words text in Swedish?

If so, I'll exchange your Swedish recorded text with an English one of the same lenght.

But you'll probably be disappointed with my French accent..

Yeah, you have to keep in mind that Francis ain't no 'Merican . . . he's a alien . . . i think he's from Venus . . .

Your outrageous French accent ...

No, Venus is for me..

Outrage is in the ear of the listener..

I'd be delighted to help you if only to have my dulcet mellifluous consonance recorded for posterity to marvel at in fawning wonderment.

My thick Boston accent would make it difficult to understand. Many of my coworkers and friends sometimes can't decipher some of my speech. So, I can't volunteer myself without messing the whole project up.

In this article, titled How Many Words in a Five-Minute Speech?:

Let's take 100 words per minute as the means from this statement. Your assignment would involve at least 10 minutes of flawless reading. Considering no one here is a professional reader, it will most likely take more then one try to get a decent recording where every word is recorded and understandable with playback.

It's a great idea if you can somehow bring an incentive to the project for someone.

I'd do it, but I've been told I have a rather thick Austrian accent.

the-swede, I'm American and an English teacher. I'll help, if I can figure out how to work the software. Can you link to the text?

I'll do it, but only in a fake Swedish accent.

The-swede:

Francis knows many languages; he made an offer several posts back, you'd be smart to consider it.
