okay.
ReplyDeleteLOF: Hey, I sent you some messages. Did you receive them?
Deletei am quite aware that i have a hearing disability that requires visual cues of the speaker in order to really hear what a speaker is saying (which makes deep telephone conversations problematic not because of a voice's loudness but its the intelligibility of the words themselves) however, you have a very beautiful voice, something I guess, I've never noticed because my limbic system is so visually oriented... of course, it could be the timbre of your voice talking about falling in love... i'll have to go back to your vlog and close my eyes.
DeleteLOF: You know you've got me thinking about my own voice. It's perfectly normal for people to change pitch, pace, pronunciation and sometimes even accent when talking to specific groups of people. I reckon this is the voice I use when I'm amongst friends. My vlog voice is for strangers. That sounded a little too low for every day use. haha
DeleteIn short, ang beki ng voice ko! haha
yes, you had a cold in your vlog and you may have butched it up a little... but i stand by my statements after reviewing all of the evidence.
DeleteLOF: You're commenting in lawyer-speak. haha
DeleteI'm still stuck on you saying i "have a very beautiful voice." Regardless if this version of me is super beki or if my vlog's a little butch, i still can't shake the image of you putting a pretty pink ribbon on my vocal cords. haha
sorry. too much impeachment trial, i think. anyways, i thought the award-winning ribbon was blue, or are you back-handing me something? lol
DeleteLOF: I was hoping it would be pink! Blue makes me feel like a prize turkey or something. haha
DeleteAnd it was not back-handing you, I swear! haha for stuff like that, I message you on Facebook! haha
I think pink has traditionally been fifth or sixth place and also now has something to do with breast cancer awareness i think. anyways, i won't get into a big explication or anything, but it wasn't until i was required to block the visual cues did the pitch, timbre and phasing of your natural voice come out. very beautiful!
DeleteLOF: I got it! What about a tiara instead! Most beautiful vocal chords in the universe. Chauce!!!
DeleteI've never really recieved feedback about my voice although I had a caller from Memphis once who told me I sounded like a sexy goat. He was pretty upset when he said that so maybe it doesn't count. Haha
the back hand of cb. lol
DeleteLOF: in everybody's free to wear sunscreen, the guy says we must remember the compliments and forget the criticisms. I'm totally dropping "goat" and fixating on "sexy" hihi

ReplyDeleteOkay. My bad, didn't wait for the whole instrumental to fade. Ang kati kati lang nitong hearing post mo kuya. Hahaha. =)
DeleteGreen Breaker: Well, thank you for waiting (?) haha sana'y naligayahan ka. :)
DeleteI was close to getting hysterical because I never understood why it has a lot of squares. But I realized its about hearing, so I listened.
ReplyDeleteIf someone will tell me that, definitely, 100 %, i will say say!
Happy post... yeay!
LJ: Haha sorry naman. Nangt-troll lang yung post na 'to. haha
DeleteNakaka-walang choice naman kasi yung tanong diba? haha
oo naman... hands down, ikaw na talaga! :)
DeleteLJ: It's me! haha
Delete"he was snoring..he was snoring really loudly...it sounded nice to me"
ReplyDeletei think he's having wet dreams. lol
-----
this is really beautiful.(to think na mataas ang standard ko ng beautiful ah. chos) wala. ayoko nang makipag compete :))
Mots: Hala! Suko na kaagad? Ano ba yan... haha
DeleteAnd tanong mo siya if he was having wet dreams. Hindi ko kasi alam kung ano yun eh. :p
dapat ni-record mo to with your vina or cher voice. damn, that would be epic
DeleteMots: Balik-balik tayo dun? haha Di naman ako kumanta dito, paano palalabasin ang mga hidden talents?
DeleteWaaa, what a post! Nice none, seems like a music to my ear, it suits to those people who are bored. LISTEN mga bata!
ReplyDeleteTim: Well, glad I was able to snap you out of boredom. lolz
DeleteAwesome. Beautiful. Poignant. I loooove Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go.
ReplyDeleteGarpppy Garp: I remember you saying that sa blog ni Mots. Victor is such a huge fan of the book, movie and soundtrack. He even encouraged me to listen to the soundtrack while I read the book. haha Kaso by the time the movie and soundtrack came out, naka-ilang ulit na ako dun sa book so wala na yung effect. :(
Deleteat di ko pa to nababasa!!!!! lagot ako sa nagbigay
DeleteMots: Basahin mo na! Daliiiii!!! Tapos kuha ka rin nung soundtrack para matuloy na yung wet dream ni Victor na pagbabasa ng libro with the soundtrack playing in the background! :)
DeleteOo nga, Mots. Read it na. Now na! Forget the papers you have to check. Char.
DeleteMots: O ayan ha. Dalawa na kami ni Garpppy sa dalawang different posts na inuudyok kang basahin yung libro. Keber na sa educational future ng mga batang 'yan! :)
DeleteI listened to it twice. Nice voice Nyl. :)
ReplyDeleteRei: Do you really think so? haha I listened to it again kanina and I felt it sounded really gay. haha hamuna...
Deletehehe. ako din. ganda ng boses. I could listen to it all day. :D
DeleteJustin: Huwow! All day talaga? Maybe I should consider being a radio DJ. Pero do you think the country is ready for an all gay radio show? haha and no, becky nights doesn't really count. :p
DeleteHehe. Go go go! I'm sure you'd pass the screening :D
DeleteAnd it was so obvious na kinikilig ka while talking. Kalurkey!
Rei: It's sad how radio isn't what it used to be like when I was growing up. haha And mahirap isustain yung kilig voice if I had to do it all day, 7 days a week. haha baka magasgas na lalamunan ko nun! :)
DeleteThe things we do for work Nyl. Things we do for work. :P
DeleteRei: I'm glad I don't have to have a "work voice" anymore. lolz
DeleteI wonder how my work voice will sound like. I'll probably sound like a frustrated call girl/ cow. hahaha
DeleteRei: Call girl or call cow? lolz
DeleteI'm sure it's not that bad. Go record something nang makilatis!
sheeeeettt!!!! juskoooo!!! kinilig ako ng bongang bongang!
ReplyDeleteNakakainlove ang boses mo Nyl! I'm pretty sure you're a very sweet guy and it makes ME wanna cuddle you!
Rowell: Ang high-pitched kaya haha Hindi yan yung "recording voice" na ginagamit ko sa office. haha
DeleteYes, I'm very sweet. Daig ko pa ang yemang nilublub sa pulot-pukyutan!
At cuddle talaga? Di kaya kamukha ko kasi si ex mo? haha
Nyl, it's not the pitch, kahit one octave higher pa yan, it's the "love." It's heartfelt. Me kilig factor.
DeleteAnd it's not coz u look like my ex that I wanna cuddle you. It's because of your own charisma, or shall I say, your 'magic'
Rowell: Aww... well thank you for the validation. :) Ako na ang may magic! Yipee!
DeleteSweet! Actually, this brought a little lump to my throat. And naw, you don't sound gay, buy where did you get that mid-west American accent??? :)
ReplyDeleteRick: I didn't realize it was particularly midwestern. haha i've been in the contact center industry since 2007 and I spent 3 of those years as a voice and accent trainer. :p
DeleteWell, the first time I went to university I was in radio/tv broadcasting and they taught us to loose the Texas accent. The "radio" accent was commonly called mid-west since that general region is not as identifiable as other regions. Then I was overseas in Asia for a decade and around nothing but British, and my family and friends back home said I had a slight British accent. (No, Madonna, I DIDN'T fake it like you have) Now after a long time back in the US people here in NY detect a slight southern lilt, while my family and folks back in Texas think I'm a "damn Yankee." Oh well...
DeleteRick: How interesting! You know, in all my years as a comms trainer, no one's ever really told me how I sounded like. In the Philippines, they just say I speak maarte which loosely translates to a high maintenance valley girl-ish tone. Not that I'm at all like that. haha
DeleteDid you spend time in India? I'm from Asia and no one here speaks with any British influence unless they've been watching too much british TV. there is a particularly interesting video of Lea Salonga when she was working on Miss Saigon and she had a pronounced brit twang. It sounded funny but she was totally sold to the idea, not unlike Madonna around the time she was married to Guy Ritchie. haha
Accents are such curious things. Makes me wonder what my real accent would've been like had I not been in this industry. haha I can only guess, of course but I doubt if I would've had any schwas.
Absolutely not valley girl. That horrible "accent" ends every statement as if asking a question (similar to Canadian accents) and that's SOOOO irritating! Your voice and accent are quite non-descript by my standards, and very pleasant to listen to. (not saying that just to be nice! ;P)
DeleteNo, I've only visited India once, but lived in Singapore for nearly 10 years and worked/played all over SEA, including the Philippines. My employer at the time, Halliburton, had an office in Makati and I worked in Palawan a on a couple of jobs. Want to visit Philippines again in the next couple of years.
You know, I saw a video of Lea Salonga auditioning for that role I think....was very interesting, but I don't recall the accent.
As for Texas accents, there are actually several distinct regional ones within the state. What many think of as a Texas accent is actually heard in surrounding areas of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and the southern tip of Missouri. But once you move out of western Arkansas and Louisiana, the southern accent begins to change, sometimes dramatically.
Rick: I know what you mean! When I was training people to neutralize their accents, they always equated proper english to rising intonation. It was super annoying!
DeleteAnd I remember you talking about working for Halliburton. I didn't know you worked in Palawan. I've always wanted to visit but I could never find the resources to.
This may be a little dorky but have you ever visited the International Dialects of English Archives? The US accents are documented really well there. IMHO, they don't do the Filipino accent justice, especially now that the linguistic landscape of the average Filipino has drastically changed thanks to the advent of the call center industry.
No, haven't.... That would be very interesting to me. I'll check it out tomorrow or this weekend! Thanks for the tip!
DeleteRick: It's over at http://web.ku.edu/~idea/. I've spent many hours there trolling their archives. We often use the recordings to familiarize trainees with how you Americans speak. :p
DeleteI don't know if it was in the previous year when we watched this (Never Let Me Go), but man I cried so hard in the movie house. My friends and I, we are all crying. I thought for a while I would be listening to Andrew Garfield and Carey Mulligan.
ReplyDelete.
.
Anyway, stories about love (or love stories) fascinates me, like yours, whether sad or happy (of course that depends on the point of view of the storyteller). This audio post of yours reminds me of Joan Didion's "We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live." I can't provide a more decent take on your story. I never had those moments. I never really saw people.
DB: I cried so hard in that scene where Andrew Garfield breaks down in front of his car. I still can't shake that feeling. Grabe...
DeleteOoh and what an interesting title. *googling* :)
@nyl: you could pass for a radio jock, i mean really.. inglatera ka talaga! you already! and kinilig ako sa love story.. :)
ReplyDeleteNate: Inglatera talaga? haha salamat salamat. Everyone's being really sweet to me. :) Tengs!!
DeleteHUHUHU ANG SWEET SWEET HUHUHUHUHU
ReplyDeleteYohan: Kailangan umiiyak? haha salamz Yohan, for this comment and le tweet! Hang out soon, k?
DeleteHarry: You too! And welcome to my blog! :)
ReplyDeletehaha! i was figuring out kung nasaan yung recording mo. yung recording mo pala ay nasa music player kembot! kasi naman mga posts mo lahat may kasamang music so akala ko yung play button e music lang so i was like
ReplyDelete"nasaan ang play button for the recording??? waaaahhh."
hahaha!!!!! :D
i was also thinking dati pa kung lahat kaya ng posts ko lagyan ko ng recording? pero katamad lang. hahaha.
aaaaaaaawwww!!!! i'm sooooo happy for you!!!!!!!!!
nice post/recording! :)
Sin: Haha ayan na ang sikreto ng post na itey.
DeleteAt medyo matrabaho siya pero I enjoy looking for songs and putting them in posts. May Excel sheet naman ako that concatenates all the code for me so di ganun kahirap.
ah okay, matrabaho nga pero shaaaaal organized! :)
DeleteSin: But it's totally worth it! You can organize the blogs you follow into certain folders. Para ma-match yung mood ko sa pagbbloghop, I have folders for lit, nsfw, personal blogs, music blogs and my 9gag and failblog subscriptions.
DeleteI can't read anything. All I see are small boxes and some numbers and punctuation. No alphabets!
ReplyDeleteGervin: cat's out of the bag. It's an audio post! :) the letters spell play and the numbers refer to the timestamp that I start speaking (01:21) :) enjoy!
Deleteeffect sa akin ang entry na ito. haha! meron din akong similar entry na ganito which was never published. i am never confident about my voice (and ovkors, ang probinsiyano twang ko. LOL)
ReplyDeletewould you mind sharing the decoded script? :)
Pepe: I'm glad you liked it. Post mo yung sa'yo! I'm sure it's not as bad as you think. :)
DeleteAs for the decoded script, I don't have one. I had a few scribbles on my notebook. It was a basic outline of what I wanted to say pero di ko siya finull script. The squares above are based on this work report na nireplace ko all characters with the box. then I manually added the letters and the numbers (in fact if you were here when I first published the post, wala pa yung kemeng yun haha)
Publish mo yung sa'yo ha. Aantayin ko yan. :)
Anong font type ginamit mo? Just kidding, hehe :D
ReplyDeleteI like this post; it's very clever. :)
Andy: Haha it's a troll post! Too much time on 9gag leads to unproductive minds. haha :/
