I'd like to ask GLAMs and GLAM-wikipedians to support the project I started:
<http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/open-licensed-format-recordings-voices-wikipedia-wikimedia-commons/>
asking the subjects of Wikipedia articles to record a 10-second sample
of their speaking voice, for use on those articles.
An example script is "Hello, my name is [name]. I was born in [place]
and I have been [job or position] since [year]".
So far, the participants:
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voice_intro_project>
include Sue Black, Cory Doctorow, Bill Thompson and Dave Winer; and
we've just had our first recording in French - but we need many more.
Do any of your GLAM colleagues have articles about them? Do you
exhibit living artists who do?
