I'm not really .u'u familiar with this project, but I'd be happy to
read scripts in Lojban.  In fact I'll broaden that offer: If anyone
has anything they'd like read out loud in Lojban, drop me a line.
DIsclaimer: I have a terrible US accent.

(Relatedly, anyone know a good free place for posting audio files?)

I don't personally think that your accent would be a detriment in this case- in fact, I think it could be an bonus. Seeing as how Parallel is meant for people who desire to learn Lojban written /and/ spoken, I think the more differing people there are doing the audio, the better.

I'll be updating the modules to comply with xorlo and Dot-Side, starting with li pa and going up. If desired, I'll post the altered text portion of the modules to the list once I've finished with them.

The audio portions are in Ogg format. I don't know if it's Ogg-Vorbis or Ogg-Speex, but I doubt it matters, although supposedly Speex is better suited for this application, so I would appreciate any recordings be sent to me in that format, along with information as to which example/module it is the recording for, i.e. "Lojban_001-0158.ogg" would be for example 158 in module 1.

On a side-note, for any recordings you do, do your best to speak clearly and naturally, and if you believe the recording is too quiet, by all means up the volume in post-processing.
