The recordings you made were excellent!
Without them I don't know how we would've managed...
Here's some takes of today: http://ihmisentila.tumblr.com/

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


Lojban pronunciation is quite tricky for native Finnish speakers,
especially the different "s" consonants since we don't have much
variation there.

Yes, that's a very common problem for speakers from Scandinavia. Are there other things that are particularly difficult for Finnish speakers?

I'm quite happy about the results of today, but does it sound anything
like Lojban? Is it understandable?

Wow that is amazing! What good acting can achieve! I love the way Finnish people sound when speaking other languages, we have a Finnish lojbanist, and I could listen to him all day :) It's such a likable sound. That being said, the recording is easy to understand for the most part. As you said yourself, the s sounds are difficult, so "simsa" was pronounced "zimza", and "dzena" sounded like "djena".

The j in Lojban is pronounced like ž in Finnish I think. Also, wikipedia says that the lojban s is part of Finnish (which is what I thought to begin with), so that shouldn't cause problems in "simsa".

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 better than me what kind of performance you are going for. I would never have guessed from just reading the text that Godot would get so into it.
