Don't worry about the accent...

Thanks for the comment. You

Great instruction, wrong frequency and "accent"
A number of friends and I watched this screen cast. Absolutely fantastic methodology and information. What would make these more accessible is a female voice speaking in a non accented english language, i.e. standard broadcast terms : Standard American English.
This is not a purely ethno/national-centric statement. In China, many , many of my students complimented my English as understandable versus their British or Australian -born previous instructors.
Think about it.
The female voices frequency is more suited for smaller speakers on laptops and really has better recognition, as does a female's voice in any language, English, Mandarin, French, etc.
Thanks for the comment and
Thanks for the comment and kind words.
On the subject of my voice, I can try and tweak the eq to make it less "bass"y so that it sounds better on laptops, but I'm not putting on a dress and impersonating a woman - not during the week anyway :)
If there are any women who would like to re-dub these or indeed create their own, then by all means go ahead. We welcome all contributions. The content is licensed in such a way that people can do that.
As I see it, I speak British English or "English English" as opposed to "International English" or "American English". The comment that American English is better understood by people for whom English is not their first language I can only imagine is down to exposure. With the prevalence of American Television programmes and advertising outside USA, higher population of American English speakers vs British English speakers, combined with the number of American Schools abroad vs the number of British Schools abroad may go some way towards explaining this.
As with Female dubbing, if someone wants to dub these into American English then go right ahead.
Voice quality and tone
Alan,
You are great. Don't change a thing. Your delivery is outstanding. There is no problem with your accent. I live in the U.S. I actually look forward to your presentations. Could the person be too particular?
Excellent. Accessing sftp folders
Hi Alan,
Excellent screencast. Luckily I learnt my English via. the BBC World Service along with the other 800 million Chinese doing likewise so your accent is perfectly clear to us!
It would be could to show how easy and transparently Ubuntu can access remote sftp folders. Could this be added to the screencast? Or would another short screencast devoted specifically to remote folder access be better?
Many thanks,
