tintinnabulation
"the ringing of bells," 1831 (perhaps coined by Poe), from L. tintinnabulum "bell," from tintinnare "to ring, jingle" (reduplicated form of tinnire "to ring," from an imitative base) + instrumental suffix -bulum. Earlier forms in Eng. were tintinnabulary (1787), tintinnabulatory (1827), and tintinnabulum "small bell" (1398).

Could you imagine life before television, when stories were told over the radio airwaves? They'd even have a guy there whose sole job was to make sound effects any way he could figure. I definitely agree with you, you need to put some life into a narration - to keep the audience interested yes but also to do justice to the author's work. Thanks for showing how difficult but fun that effort can be!

heck I still listen to radio like that. Prairie Home Companion!

[AmandaPbRooklyn]

The second time I watched this it was a lot more funny.

And yes, I watch your videos about four times.

[claytonian]

all loyal viewers should watch 8 times. No more, no less.

[ArashiNekoi]

Haha, very good, but you had the advantage of suspenseful music. Btw, it still says 666 views. Weird.

[claytonian]

music?  That was subvocalization at work my friend

[remedy82]

I love that you spend your free time doing this. and I spend my free time watching it. haha. well done man, well done.

Hey, you have a good reading voice yourself. I reccomend that you read for LibriVox yourself! :D

And, most of us do NOT sound nerdy. You picked a weird version of that poem indeed.

Many, many LibriVoxers are native English speakers and we have over 3,000 works in our catalogue. So... maybe you didn't listen to the best that are out there so far! Really thoug, please volunteer for LibriVox! You're definitely LibriVox material. ;)
