New practice clip

[Bouks]

Have a look! I have been trying to get this up for days, but had technical problems.

Post your comments - what did you think? Did you laugh, cry, scream? I hope you didn't scream. If you cried, though, I'll at least know I got the acting part right. Please correct my mistakes, lovely native speakers, and don't go easy on me just to be nice.

One last note: what a drag to read a two-person dialogue all by myself. Is there some way to record two people through Skype or some other app? I can't find an easy way to do it. Collaboration would be much more fun.

Wow! Great job Bouks! And I can definitely tell you had some radio experience... you're voice is smooth like butter

And if you don't mind, I'd like to give a suggestion on your intonation. Your pronunciation and fluency was great, but some of the statements sounded like questions. Remember to get those statements down (for intonation)

[Bouks]

Like butter? Wow! Thank you

And thanks for the comments on my intonation. It's hard to get a feel for things like that at first. (All the more reason for me to make sound clips.) I will work on that.

Edit: AHA! I just figured out why my tone goes up at the end of sentences. Japanese sounds like that when they use their particle "yo" (which of course has no correlation whatsoever to the Korean "yo"), and somehow that crossed over to my Korean speaking (I studied Japanese in the past). I knew it had to come from something. It's not such a good thing to keep cramming my head with languages, maybe, but I can't stop myself.
