I am (at least I think I am ^_^) biligual. - Audioman

I listened to your version of 3 men make a tiger. The audio sounds good to me, How long did it take you to record this? I tried to make a recording for Saturn V but I get stressed and make a lot of mistakes. I hope your experience was better. :-D --Chinakow 08:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Chinese pronunciation

Heyas! I assume you've heard my Chinese recordings by now. You seem to be the first really active native speaker. Which is, like, awesome. Do you think I should keep recording Chinese or concentrate on Swedish?

Greetings~

Hello Audioman thanks so much for the pronunciation clips. Are you a native speaker of Mandarin? Do you speak any other Chinese language(s)? :-) — Instantnood 22:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I guess you're meaning you're a native speaker of Mandarin, am I right? Would you be able to make some clips for other Chinese languages too? — Instantnood 08:18, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Too many mistakes in Guqin audio

In the poem 《彈琴》: 劉長卿，“靜”should be pronounced as jìng (you read jīng)，“雖”should be suī (you read xū)。

In the poem 《琴歌》 : 李頎，the readings of the following characters are incorrect: 今(jīn)，夕(xī)，奏(zòu)，烏(wū)，半(bàn)，淒(qī)，木(mù)，增(zēng)，星(xīng)。

Maybe the best way is to ask a native Beijinger to read these poems :-)

Proper upload formats

I don't know if there's been a recent change or not, but the standard format of audio files is that of a two-letter ISO code followed by the filename. You've chosen to name your files "Chinese-xxx.ogg". Would you mind amending this over at Commons?

Don't use straight links to media

Please do not ever use straight links to media files. Use {{Audio}} or a similar template that allows easy access to the license info. This is not a matter of layout style, I might add, since we have to provide users a chance to access the copyright info without having to chase it around Commons.

Also, try to use the shorter standard formats for naming files. Rather than Image:Beijing pronounced in English way.ogg you should opt for Image:en-Beijing.ogg. You can add various specifiers to that if you want to like "en-us-XXX.ogg" or "en-uk-XXX.ogg" depending on if you're speaking American or British English. As always, I recommend that you upload the files to Commons so that all projects can access them.

Keep those pronunciations coming...
