Narrating some of Rays papers
Dave in Tenn:
hmmm. I thought that's what 'acting' was, including voice-acting.
Never mind. I see that "HE" doesn't do that...same as an actor that won't take a certain role.
microlink:
Hi all,
I have found that the canned (synthetic) voice is not a good idea. Eventually turns people off.
Yes a real human voice with a degree of emotion is recommended. Can this be done via Skype of a similar voice transfer program with out losing quality and range of voice variation to satisfy listeners?

Dennis, I think you should make an announcement where you explain you are seeking any who consider themselves good readers to come forward and pm you. You can make arrangements for them to contact you, so there could be a reading for you to evaluate.
Surely there are people here that would be willing to make this effect, as this is a way to directly serve in this work. I know how hard it is to come forward, as I thought of myself as the last person able to transcribe Ray's Bible studies... but it is God's work and we are privileged to participate. Maybe there are a few that would at least try for it.

I don't think I want to re-write the 1st person.

It doesn't seem right to change anything. We learned by reading exactly what we read. Ray's papers aren't bringing people to know God - God is bringing people to read what He gave Ray.
Please forgive me if this is offensive, but it seems like this is advertising. It has a feel of the world to me. Honestly, I mean this from my heart - Ray wrote what God told him to write - and Ray wrote it as according to his nature. God chose Ray, not the other way around.
It may be that God wants Ray's papers out there, but to change anything seems as though we're trying to improve on what was given. If you choose someone to read Ray's papers, God's revelation to Ray, then God will help you find the right person.
If I'm wrong, if I don't understand, if my heart is in the wrong place, If I'm out of line, if I'm looking at this carnally, then please, in advance - forgive me.

The changes would be minor and I made many small changes to all of Ray's papers before posting them on the Internet. Mostly removing commas and deleting the word 'that'.
The idea is to get the Word out. But I know what you mean. I need to be very careful.
