I heard a few days ago that one of the recordings I made for the Librivox project (note new url) was played out loud to a party of 600 well-connected Internet industry people in California.

It’s particularly scary that this piece was chosen because it’s the one where I ‘do’ an American/New York accent that in no way stands up to scrutiny from real Americans.

Luckily the clip that gets played doesn’t go as far as the dialogue.

Hugh, the leader of the LV collective, taped the speech which included the extract of the piece. Someone in the audience says ‘wow’. How chuffing!
