This is me going for a hearing test.
The images are flipped.

I expect that to work. Still interested in that longer test.

Do something theatrical or narrative. 'This is me talking into my Rode microphone," is nice but the next step is a short story.
"'No I can't find her either,' I said to my wife. 'She'll turn up when you start the can opener.'
Who would have thought the cat was sleeping on the warm engine? When I started the car she took off for the next county not touching the ground more than twice the whole trip."
Copyright me. That should take about 12-13 seconds, roughly 15 counting the two or three seconds of silence at the top.

... Iām not sure what clicking is. Is that a sound description or a technical term?
Some clicks come under the category of wet-mouth-noises : lip-smacking & inadvertent
tongue-clicks.
They tend to be brief : less than 5 milliseconds, and higher-frequency : above 2kHz.
(Most people can hear up to 14kHz,
but that cut-off frequency drops off with age).
Those are fixable with De-clicking software, like
Audacity's free plugin.

WHAT? I can't hear you. My cutoff frequency's been dropping with age.

Not necessarily hearing, it could be headphones or speakers.

Hey guys!
This is that reading you gave me to do. I'm sorry, it's about 18 seconds long with silence at the start.
Again, thanks for your help[.

Forgot to mention, As requested, no effects or alterations were done to this recording. I did cut out about half a second after can opener to shorten the time between words

It was always down to your delivery speed. The text was an approximation.
So a little audiobook mastering and boop. Good to go.

So now it's up to theatrical patching for any clicking or popping in your delivery.
I need to play real life for a while.

I did a bit of tidying up and reformatting on that page today.
And formerly it was an unlinked orphan page so I:
1) added a link to it from thge usewr Tips section on the Wiki front page
2) added {{CategoryTips}} to the page so that it gets listed when you click on "Tips" in the left menu bar
