Originally posted by moonbusOver here in Indonesia, I do voice overs and narrations and stuff for video documentaries and also for listening material for textbooks etc. I had become a bit overly nonchalant by the time we'd got to book three of nine for a set of junior high school English language books, and I had pretty much given up preparing or reading ahead before going into the recording booth. There I was, doing my stuff in my sonorous and exemplary south east England accent, and I turned the page only to find the next two page spread was filled with about 25 classic tongue twisters. Of course, I did it in just the one take, with stiff upper lip, unwavering aplomb ...and just a tiny unseen trickle of sweat running down my back underneath my batik shirt.
