Re: The English Challenge

Trying to understand the “challenge” aspect. What is the criterion for victory in this challenge? Does the member whose voice is matched with him or her most accurately win the challenge? Or is the Victor the one whose voice is the most mysterious. And hence least matched.

Or is the challenge designed for the members who are matching voices with contestants? Those who are the most successful in matching win the challenge in that case. If this is the case, would they be judged based on the absolute magnitude of right matches? Or are they judged based on the percentage of their choices that are correct. (This fine distinction becomes relevant when a member chooses to exclude certain voices. And hence number of matches < number of participants.

Thanks in advance.

Re: The English Challenge

Few more questions popped up

When is deadline for registration?
Is teaming allowed?
Will the judges be announced?
Will the event start on time and on schedule?
Is it positive for ones voice to be mistaken for Kazakh Turkish Iranian and Magadhan?
And of course, how will this event impact the markets?

Re: The English Challenge

KKF, of course you can participate :slight_smile:

the challenge is the pronunciation part. whoever can read the text with good pronunciation. the other twist, or to make it more entertaining is to have members guess which voice recording matches who.

deadline is till.. hmm i’d give it two more days, so probably til tuesday to sign up.. then until sunday to record so we can have the thread running by next monday/tuesday. i’ll be PM’ing the participants with rules etc.

and those wondering about how to record the voice.. you’ll be using soundcloud.

Re: The English Challenge

One minor follow - up question and we are good to go. Any pre - defined criteria for what is a “good accent”?

No matter, we have advised our readership to participate in this exciting event.

Re: The English Challenge
