Made this thread separate from the one it was inspired by as I wasn't sure if it stayed on the original topic.
Rules: Keep it clean, don't want to get shut down. Keep it nice.
Write a original scene or an excerpt from tv, movies, books or your dreams and tag the person on mfp that you want to read it. http://vocaroo.com/

Since I had a few volunteers: @dpwellman
“Atticus said to Jem one day, “I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. “Your father’s right,” she said. “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” – Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” – Jack Kerouac, On The Road0 -

Thank you. I've been practicing. I read a toddler to sleep daily.
If James Dean were alive today, he would have flowers and candy delivered to you.
Nice!1 -

@KyleGrace8
you gave me a toughie, so I'm not taking it easy, but here's one of my favorite scenes:
"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."0 -
I am so naturally shy, but I love the idea of this thread too and would join in, as well!
Let me find something to request...be back in a bit, lol.
You guys both did a great job, @FeraFilia and @dpwellman!0 -
You have a natural flair for inflection. The reading was evenly paced, authentically accented and there's an audible element of optimism in your interpretation which garnishes the somewhat serious theme in a balanced and mood lifting fashion. Liked it very much.
You give the best compliments!1 -

Thank you! Like most people, I hate my voice... But I like reading, and don't mind reading passages out loud.1 -

Try this classic?
"I love you right up to the moon," he said, and closed his eyes.
"Oh, that's far," said Big Nutbrown Hare, "That's very, very far."
Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves. He leaned over and kissed him goodnight. Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile, "I love you right up to the moon-- and back."

@newmeadow That was a more eloquent critique than I ever received. To tell the truth, the first time through I realized I was having trouble with "birds". Natural dialect for that particular word is Philadelphian (PA); to wit: "boidz". One of those idiosyncrasies, I guess.1

The scene takes place in a lawyer's office. But if pre-scene character preparation calls for it, then...
I can't speak for everyone but I've been nude plenty of times in my lawyer's office.1
