I don't know why anyone would complain about this reading, I personally loved it. I like the different voices it was as if I was watching a movie. Thank you!
I fell in love with Wilde's use of language and the story after reading the book. Honestly, I love the different voices and I can even picture how entertaining the scenes are! So here I am to listen to it again!
I'm sorry to hear that you have suffered cruel comments. I for one am grateful to you and in fact who were involved in this project. Well done all and thank you.
Am I the only one not listening to this audiobook for school/college? I've read this play many times, it is one of my favourite stories, and gave this a listen out of curiosity. I have to say, the person who plays Algernon is FANTASTIC!
I was the narrator. I have several times reviewed the comments on this FREE recording. I have been surprised at how mean-spirited, nasty, vile-spoken, ignorant, xenophobic and downright cruel some people have been in the various RUclips versions of this project. These people do not deserve to be exposed to literature, whether read aloud by professionals or amateurs, or (supposing any of them are actually literate) by themselves. If I had known that abusive, verbally sadistic, cowardly people like these were to be the recipients of my recordings, I should never have bought a microphone and exposed myself to their ugly mockery.
thank you for the narration. please keep up the good work. as a 44 yr old american u may rest assured that there are people in this world who are starving for the classics.
To worry thyself with the opinions of the lower class is a mockery of thyself. Worry not what the squabbling masses believe, popular opinion tends to be the wrong opinion my dear sir. The squabbling masses are allowed access to higher readings such as this in hopes that we can educate them and bring this mockery of a world back from the brink of destruction by drunken WWE exhibitions and the such.
Thank you for your kind comments. Believe me, I value them and take them as assurance that I can continue to read aloud and hope to please the listeners I want to reach.
In fact, now that I think about it, perhaps the reason I actually like this play so much, is because I was never forced to read it. I remember having to read various books and no matter how enjoyable they may objectively be, they have been soured by the obligation of having to read them. Actually, I can hardly recall one book that was on the obligatory reading list that I enjoyed reading, or would like to read again, no matter how iconic and supposedly good they are. Maybe it'd be better if students were given a wide selection of books on any given topic or of any given time period from which they could freely choose. It's really a shame so many valuable pieces of work were ruined for so many people for the sole reason of being made to read them...
This is my favorite comedy in the world! By it's incredible humor, as almost all characters are saying seriously the exact opposite of serious considerations. Thank all that made possible to have access to this text, in these impressive manner, including every one who could not have the book!....
Thank you very much. This is of particular interest as I find reading at times too straining to my eyes. Besides the audio gives a flair to the wonderful characters created by Oscar Wilde
There are many books I'd like to read and others re-read, but being that everything one does is on the computer or the phone, my eyes get tired, and I don't feel like reading for fun, so this is a great find for me. I particularly really wanted to re-read this book. I LOVE Oscar Wilde! Thank you very much. 😊
Thank you so much! Just reading it, I got so bored! Listening, as well as reading along, I wasn't bored at all and read it all in one sitting. Again, thank you!
I would have never read the play without audio, and here it is! Im absolitley grateful for having discovered this😊 im happy there are still alterations into reading, now that technology is on the rise😇

His identity. Again & Again 2:09:58 - his reassurance that people actually like him for HIM, not just his name.
I really enjoyed this, the different voices help you remember the characters and give them distinction. Also the man who voices Algy sounds so familiar! He was also my favourite along with the woman who voiced Cicely
I always thought MJ flubbed her line when she saw Peter in the theater in Spider-Man 2 and said "Yes! I mean no..." But that really was in the actual play.
+John Garcia That she breathes, through her mouth... I understand that in order to manipulate one's voice effectively more oxygen is needed, but every line she read was introduced with an inhaling of air, through her mouth... We have noses too?
Me listening to this on 2x speed because I have a test on it next period
why is this me
U r me bro . I love you.
i have the test tomorrow bruh

I don't know why anyone would complain about this reading, I personally loved it. I like the different voices it was as if I was watching a movie. Thank you!
Honestly, I had a lot of fun listening to it/reading the captions. Act 1 ending got me laughing the most
It's the bad acting. But the writing is superb
WHY IS ALGERNONS VOICE SO PERFECT?!?!?!?
Thank you to whoever made this! It's so nice to do "reading" homework by listening instead!
Aimee Moore totally agree
What grade were you in when you had to read this?

hilarious

Apologies. I mistakenly posted this comment in the wrong place. It was intended for one of the Dorian Gray threads. I shall now re-post it.

Bro chill. I agree with you but chill out. I need you for summer reading so don't delete this video
This reading is wonderful. Besides quality, it helped my ADHD brain to focus on the story lol. Thank you so much!

It depresses me that it’s killing reading as a whole.
That’s exactly what I’m going through right now. We have a timed writing on it tomorrow (the literal first day of school)
This is my favorite comedy in the world! By it's incredible humor, as almost all characters are saying seriously the exact opposite of serious considerations.

My English literature professor makes a voice when he quotes a passage, and Lane sounds exactly like him.
This book and recording is the iron sharpening my iron today. So happy for all that contributed to my experience of opulence today . Thank you.
what a joy to listen to , please ignore NEG comms, an exceptionally enjoyable performance from all... thank you very much xxxxx
Thank you very much. This is of particular interest as I find reading at times too straining to my eyes. Besides the audio gives a flair to the wonderful characters created by Oscar Wilde
Thank you to who ever made this. It is way better and easier to remember in my opinion when you read and hear the same thing.
How could you not like this. Its like the 19th century tarantino book equivalent
Just decided to try Oscar Wilde books for the first time I'm Dec 23 and I can now understand why he was famous. I love the 2 I have listened to. 😊
Very, very helpful! My eyes are exhausted so my ears enjoyed this audio through and through!
There are many books I'd like to read and others re-read, but being that everything one does is on the computer or the phone, my eyes get tired, and I don't feel like reading for fun, so this is a great find for me. I particularly really wanted to re-read this book. I LOVE Oscar Wilde! Thank you very much. 😊
I regret a lot for not being earnest in my English literature class.now I am refreshing it
Thank you. It is definitely more pleasant to read a play by obligation whilst listening to some delightful voice acting.
I bet the outtakes are hilarious
i’m shocked to see all these rude comments this is a wonderful audio
had to read this for summer work, this made it a lot easier and faster (as I am a slow reader) thank you so much for this recording!!
Thank you so much! Just reading it, I got so bored! Listening, as well as reading along, I wasn't bored at all and read it all in one sitting. Again, thank you!
I would have never read the play without audio, and here it is! Im absolitley grateful for having discovered this😊 im happy there are still alterations into reading, now that technology is on the rise😇
I really like this recording. It is so much better then just reading the play. Great job!
porridge is just right at 1.25x speed, thanks for the audiobook!
Yo, thanks for this, you might be saving my literature grade (and thus my future)!

Thank you so much. The voice artists are excellent!
Thanks for an excellent production. Oscar would be proud!
I love how you can tell this play was made for English people by the fact it talks crap on the french three separate times.
Thank you, you have done such a fantastic narration❤
I LOVE THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST!!!!!! 😍 AND I LOVE THIS!!! 🤩🤩🤩
So so good. As usual with Oscar Wilde I was literally laughing out loud. Hilarious.

If you don't like the speaker, we don't care what your opinion is. So don't comment if you don't like it lol.
+John Garcia The speaker for Lady Bracknell is a fucking mouth breather this is a fact.
+Jesus Ambriz Okay? What do you mean.
+John Garcia That she breathes, through her mouth... I understand that in order to manipulate one's voice effectively more oxygen is needed, but every line she read was introduced with an inhaling of air, through her mouth... We have noses too?
Many people read different ways. If you can understand them then good. If ya want to go all perfectionist then fine
Piss off
