I found an articlethat you are guaranteed not to like. I think you ought to read it, as it states just about the opposite of your position on pronunciation.

I look forward to hearing more!
Amadeus wrote:Amadeus sodalibus s.d.p.,
You know what, I would really like to hear someone record a bit of latin prose. Up until now I haven't been able to read latin prose without sounding like a second grader --too damn slow. The problem, I think, is those crazy macrons; they shouldn't be pronounced twice as long, just long. Have you ever seen an Italian movie? Man, those folks just talk, talk, talk really fast (*cough*8 1/2 Fellini*cough*). I imagine that Romans were the same. In poetry, the reading is simpler because you can take all the time you want and because it's almost musical (who can't remember a tune? Dum-dee-dee-dum...). So, anyone up to the challenge?
Valete!

though because even when talking at full steam Italians usually hold their long syllables for more than twice as long as the short ones, or at least it sounds that way to me.
I know exactly what you mean though, and I can't read Latin prose without it sounding weird, though poetry works fine.
Y señor, usted tiene una cita de mi favorita obra de teatro, y creo que únicamente Shakespeare ha visto la verdad como Calderón. También me gusta 8 1/2 y Fellini entonces tenemos gustos semejantes.

Lucus Eques wrote:Are you sure about that, Amadeus? A lot of it feels really artificial to me. What about some originals? There is of course http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/ — if you pick a passage, I'll write in the macrons myself.
