There's really no excuse.

Please listen to my recording and respond with a voice message too. Many thanks.

Kitosdad · May 23, 2009, 5:42pm

Adelina, are you using a microphone -headset, or are you using a laptop with a built-in microphone?.. Your message was very low and indistinct. Could you try to do it again please.

Please listen to my recording and respond with a voice message too. Many thanks.

Eliiz, your voice was so very low that I could not hear one word. Did you have your microphone plugged in, and the volume set high enough? If you press the play button BEFORE posting your message then you can hear your recording before posting it.

Kitos.

Hi Kitosdad:

I listened to your voice recording for the first time. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to give my oral answer as I do not have the means to do so. I will try to ask the help of our technical support to enable my computer to have this capability. I would be fun to give it a try.

Best regards,

Sherry

thanks a lot for giving me such advice nw i will try to record my voice on u r fourm

Kitosdad · May 25, 2009, 4:41pm

Hello Balanki, Well you certainly do not lack confidence in using the recorder. Your accent is beautiful, and only reinforces my thoughts that a natural accent is far more interesting that an adopted one.

There was a lot of background noise in your recording, and it would be marvellous if you could make another recording without that interference.

Please give it some thought.

Hello bill .I’m William from colombia, I am learning English and need to improve my ability to speak correctly, I need to communicate with people speaking English

Kitosdad · May 26, 2009, 5:24am

Good morning William. Yours is a very oft repeated problem. People just seem to have less and less time to talk. If you have a headset you could certainly get involved here, and replies are usually very quick in coming. Give it a try.

Bill.

I was out off station for about a month. Therefore, I am not able to open the gmail account. I am interested in learning English exclusive of listening all the voices that are recorded.

Thanks

MY best regards,

Yes, I believe that there’s really no excuse in learning English. I agreed to you that in able to be good in English I should keep practicing on my speaking part. Actually, I’m hesitant to record myself because I’m not a native speaker. I hope you help me to be a better one and I’m open to comments because I know it will help me to improve my English. Thanks a lot and more power.

Hello Rosette,

To record your voice please follow the instructions below. Let us know if you still have any questions. We look forward to hearing your voice here on the forum.

Kitosdad:

This is just a quick reminder that a while ago you decided to improve your speaking skills. Since then quite some time has passed and so far I can’t see that you have recorded your first online voice message yet. What seems to be the problem? As you know, you can only practice and improve your pronunciation if you start using the online voice recorder you will find on the forum.

You should remember that this forum is the one on-line worldwide forum that offers you such an interactive tool completely free of charge. You will even get feedback and suggestions on your accent, your intonation and your voice as soon as you post your voice messages. The feedback will be provided by enthusiastic professionals who want to help you learn English online for free. Most English language schools offer this type of service only if you purchase an expensive English course.

On our forum you can record an unlimited number of voice messages and you can also listen to messages from Alan Townend, Tom Kane, David Beroff, Bill from the UK and of course from other learners. You don’t need to pay anything, you don’t need to subscribe to an English class and you also don’t need to purchase any software programs. All you need is a headset and Java, which you can download and install for free.

Hi Bill and everyone,

I totally agree with your opinions. I love it. I’ll try to sing some English songs as I’m available even though I’m always off key. Ha… I really appreciate that you and other English professionals do for us. (As you mentioned, I did purchase some expansive English courses to get this kind of service, such as recording my voice.)

By the way, you are German, aren’t you?

Speak to you soon.

Hello everybody!

Naimi · May 29, 2009, 5:14pm

Hello Everybody!
I am always here to learn from you!

Kitosdad · May 29, 2009, 5:39pm

Hello Naimi, I’m sorry to say that there was no voice on your recording.Did you press the small red button on the recorder? When you do, and all is working properly, then a black tracer travels across the screen and oscillates as you speak. Give it another try.

The small round red button starts the recorder.
The square blue button stops the recording.
The blue arrow allows you to hear what you have recorded.
When you are satisfied that all is to your liking, then firmly press the " Post voice message " tab.
If you are NOT happy with your recording, then press the LARGE red RECORD button near your name. This will delete your message and you can start all over again. Good Luck.

Kitos.
