Very nice, and very fluently spoken. To my unpracticed ear, it sounds far more "South Indian" than "Southeast Asian= Indonesian or Philippine"-- possibly because you are speaking so fast... Is there any way you could slow it down? As a Sixth Former I was called upon once to read the Lesson in Chapel, and during the rehearsal the instructor kept telling me "Slow down, slow down!!" (The text was some bit of craziness from Revelation.) Afterwards, one of my teachers, noted for his sly and ironic humor, commented "you certainly made that sound dire".... :-)))) Now I'm getting fired up, finally, to do some Kash recordings. I guess I'll have to translate Babel, perhaps as an inclusion in a Kash "Intro. to Alien Religions", with commentary to explain _God_.
