The Kalevala in your own voice
Poetry & EpicLong readabout 9 hours to listenAdult
Finland's national epic in chanting verse: the sage Väinämöinen, smith Ilmarinen, and rogue Lemminkäinen forge and fight over the magic Sampo; hypnotic but repetitive. Record a short sample of your voice and Voiceami narrates the whole of The Kalevala in it.

How it begins
I am driven by my longing,
And my understanding urges
That I should commence my singing;
And begin my recitation.
I will sing the people's legends,
And the ballads of the nation.
To my mouth the words are flowing,
And the words are gently falling,
Quickly as my tongue can shape them,
And between my teeth emerging.
