I would like to comment on the audio tape The Klingon Way.
As mentioned before in this group it is directly taken from the book of
the same name. The things I like about it that make it different from
other Klingon audio cassettes is:
1) You hear Klingon in a voice other than Marc Okrand. Yes, both Michael
Dorn and Roxann Dawson do *ALL* the Klingon and it is pretty good
pronounciation. I grant you, there was a fair ammount of sound editing
(barely detectable) on Dorns tlhIngan Hol But it is, nonetheless, quite
good. Dawson tends to pronouce each word fairly slower with a great deal
of deliberatness. A good sign of being well coached and having a desire to
do it right.
2) I found the description and analysis of the proverbs engaging. Yes, I
know this was straight from the book but it envolved me and got my blood
screaming!
If anyone from this list is going to a Convention with either Dorn or
Dawson as speakers please ask them how they did this tape and all
the juicy details and report back to us.
