The Alice Recordings - Chapter 10

So I started taking testosterone recently. Part of going through this means that my voice will change. Therefore, I wanted to create a way of tracking the changes in my voice over time. What better tool for the job than Alice? AiW is in the public domain (as is the John Tenniel illustration I'm using for the cover image) and is pretty much my favorite book/'franchise' ever, so it seemed fitting to read a chapter every two weeks or so (this is how often I get my T shots) and see if I can detect any changes.

This is an informal reading - there's a couple sniffs and I stumble over words occasionally - so please don't expect perfection. This is mostly for my own interests but I know some of you like hearing me talk and read and so on so I figured I'd upload it here. Enjoy!

The quadrille is a dance, rather like American square dancing, that was popular in the late 18th and 19th centuries. It would've been going out of fashion by Carroll's time, so one supposes it is intended to be rather quaint. However, obviously, the dance described is nothing like it. Imagine throwing your partners into the ocean!

I flubbed a sentence, and pronounced 'whiting' wrong, so that'll be re-done for the final audiobook.

Of note, this one is rather late. I hope to get back on a regular schedule from now on.
