Now I wished I underst= ood Finnish! The pictures are very impressive,=20
makes me very eager to see the final play.

We have a seat reserved for you if happen to find= your to Helsinki! 
 
Yes, that's a very common problem for speakers from S= candinavia. Are=20
there other things that are particularly difficult for Finnish speakers= ?

I think just the "s" sounds, especially when ther= e's two different ones in the same word. Since the everyday spoken Finnish = has only s (s) and ts (z), it's very hard for a Finnish speaker to make dis= tinction between =C5=BE (=CA=92) and =C5=A1 (=CA=83) - and to compare those= to s. That's the only problem in my opinion, and also the reason why diffe= rent s's vary in our recording.
Here's a good, short guide to Finnish p= ronunciation, if you're interested: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/suomi/fo= n.html     
 
Overall, it's a very nice recording, in my opinion. = :)
I'm not sure I can comment much on the acting, since you know much=20
better than me what kind of performance you are going for. I would neve= r=20
have guessed from just reading the text that Godot would get so into it= .

Thanks a lot! I also think that the recording was= succesful. It was also great fun to play with the sound and rhythm of Lojb= an. It has a very unique sound as a language, I think. And I'm also glad th= at it's mostly understandable!
