... to help us out with something :)

As many of you will have seen, we have started a youtube channel and Ben is getting to grips with making some videos. We have taken some inspiration from a wonderful thread here about what different forms the "depression monster" could take and we are putting together a video.

What we need (and what you fabulous people can help with) is some voices. It would be anonymous - nobody would ever know that this or that voice is you unless you choose to tell them - and all you would need to do is to read a line or two into your phone or record it on your computer and email it over so Ben can blend it into the video.

We would assign the lines at random to avoid any "I wanted this/that line" issues, and how long the line is will depend how many of you fabulous people will lend your voice to the project.

Please can you just pop a reply here or send me and Ben a PM if you don't mind reading a line or two out for us to put in the video? The more the merrier so roll up! We would like to get this wrapped up in the next couple of days and it will literally only take 30 seconds or less of your time so if you could let us know ASAP if you can help SF do this, that would be wonderful!

Thank you so much :)

Wonderful idea! You are doing such a great job. It is amazing!
If it is no problem that my voice might sound not very English I would like to take part.
Have a nice day!
Diversity is good! The more diverse voices we have the better - thank you SO much :) :)

I'm in if you can understand my Aussie accent! I did a very, very little bit of radio work when I was younger because (I've been told) I have a "radio voice"... :)
Fabulous! Thank you Kira :) Oooh radio! That is very cool. And I love an Aussie accent - something very calming about an Aussie accent I think.

I'm in as well...though will need advice on how to record/send etc...alas no interesting accent though...
Thank you Kiwi - I will send a PM to everyone with advice if needed on how to go about it. I am sure your accent is lovely - it will be an accent to someone (e.g. if you are American it will be an accent to me as I am English) - really appreciate the help :)

I would be able to do Chinese, Urdu, Russian, Swahili, or Welsh. ;) But I think my voice is too grumpy.

Your voice would be wonderful! No Swahili required, but a nice Welsh lilt would be good. I know you actually sound like Prince Charles though, and that is fine too :D

I would like to contribute if I may
Absolutely! Thank you so much :) I am going to hit all the lovely volunteers up in a couple of hours once we have had time for people who hop on later in the day to see this as well. Thank you for wanting to pitch in! :)
