mollyringleThis is the official sign-up post for Operation Raven (or Operaven, if you prefer), in which your job is to read aloud a line or two of Poe's "The Raven." All are encouraged to join. Here's how it will work:
1. Leave a comment here if you want to participate. Sign-up period ends in two weeks, October 12.
2. Shortly after Oct. 12, having counted up how many people are signed up, I will assign your lines to you.
3. You record yourself speaking the lines and post them as a LJ voice post, or email the sound file to me if you're more tech-savvy. The latter is the preferred method! They sound much clearer that way. I know .wav, .aiff, and .mp3 files will work with my software, and conversion of other types might be possible. We can try.
4. If choosing the voice-post option, let me know by email or LJ comment that you have posted it. I might miss it otherwise.
5. All accents and ages welcome, and indeed encouraged. Please sign up, and draft friends and family into it as well!

Thrilled me---filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before
It may help you to read over the full stanza in which your lines are contained, to get a feel for the rhythm and meaning. The full text of "The Raven" is here. (http://www.houseofusher.net/raven.html)
Please record in .mp3, .aiff, or .wav format and email the file(s) to me (my ladyirony earthlink address); or do it as a voice post, then comment here to point me to the post. You have till October 29, so I can splice them together and have the file ready by Halloween. I'll be listing everyone's LJ names (or whichever names they prefer, for those not on LJ) along with their lines so we can place voices to names as we listen.
Thank you for joining in!
