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!

I've always liked the appearance of the Mock Turtle - he's shown with a turtle's body and a calf's head, hooves, and tail, which makes perfect sense as the dish 'mock turtle soup' is typically made with calf brains or feet in place of real turtle meat.

Note: I flubbed a word near the end. The Mock Turtle actually says 'Ten the first day', not 'Two the first day', so the next bit about lessons lessening each day makes more sense than the way I said it. I didn't want to do the entire file over again to fix it, but I may do so before putting the thing together into a cohesive audiobook, as I plan to do when I'm done reading.

Of note, this one is rather late, and the next one will be even later as I'm going to Japan for 3 weeks.
