Recording my voice... cool!!

I'm now working with websites where I can record myself speaking. You can try it too!!
To record this first audio I used AudioPal: it's a very easy tool. I recorded myself reading a piece of a text called "The Breakup" that I found on the course book I've used last year with my students from 8th grade (the text was extracted from Teen Vogue).

The second audio I recorded using Vocaroo. I didn't like it at all!! The server was always down during the period I was trying to record (almost half an hour!!) and the final sound is horrible!! First I thought it was my microphone that was bad, but I did some other tests using AudioPal and I discovered that it was really Vocaroo's problem. You can check the result listening to a piece of a text called "Be a Better You" I've read from the same course book I've talked about above. It was extracted from Teen Magazine.

The last audio I recorded using Recordr. This one is very nice too! And you can record not only audio, but video as well. But I didn't record a video, just an audio file because I was not good-looking at that moment hehehe. The text I'm reading on the next audio was also in the course book I've used last year, but with my students from 9th grade and it was extracted from the book "Who Moved My Cheese?".

The only thing I have to complain about all the three websites is that all of them allow you to record just a few seconds. If you are thinking about recording a longer text you can already give up because it's not possible. At least I couldn't discover how to do it. If you have discovered it, show me the way, please!

I didn't have this problem with vocaroo. I had tried many times before joining this course and it worked pretty well. the one I didn't like most was recordr for the same reason that you didn't like.

Well, maybe my problem with Vocaroo is that I didn't explore it as much as I could... I'll try it again later...
