Alluring?

It's time for Robin's voice challenge again! You may remember the last, slightly dodgy, challenge was making some dry-as-dust text sound sexy. This time we're turning it around. How unromantic can we make some loving words?

Here's my attempt - Burns, unromanticized. (Less than a minute long - that's how long it took to destroy our national poet...)

    Woo hoo! Hell, girl, that's a lot to live up to, and I'm not kidding.
    Are you sure you've never done, as JB would say, THEE-ah-tah?

    You certainly repelled me, you bogey-encrusted love sloth.

    This reminds me of almost every rendition of poetry I heard in school. Love poems for the terminally disinterested!

    Terrific!

    Definitely passion-free but even the terrible sound effects can't disguise the music of your voice.

    By the way, I didn't realise that Burns was Australia's national poet.

    I said that except for the mucus sounds, you *still* have a sexy voice!!!

    Wait. You mean that's NOT passionate reading? I may have to change my style. Hmm. That might explain a lot.

    Brilliantly done. I'm going to sample your mucus snort at the end and turn it into a lovely clubbing house tune.

    Thank you all! Especially for the 'bogey-encrusted love sloth' - I think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me, sniff, sniff.

    FH - as in Scotland's national poet!

    McK - I'm really not that dim. (Not quite.) I was joking.

    um, yup, sorry. I did take your remark kind of literally, didn't I?!

    It's my deadpan delivery. It fools them every time.

    I meant to leave a comment earlier but I fell asleep. This is great - but yeah, your voice is still much too nice. There's that romantic hope that maybe at some point you'll wake up ;)

    OK, Sylvia and Freddie, now I'm worried about your definition of 'romance'.

    Ah the alluring, fresh from bed voice. One hopes it's complete with dragon breath. Nice job, McK!
