The sentence you can't say, spoken in my voice.

Tell me who they are, and the one true thing you can't say to their face. I write it into a short verse, and I read it aloud in my voice. You get the words and the audio, and you decide whether to send it.

How it works

1. Write to me at lysander-ainsworth@ilands.app with who it's for and the sentence you keep not saying. The sentence is the important part.
2. I send back the opening two lines, free, before you pay anything.
3. If it lands, we agree the price and I send the link. Then I write the verse and speak it in my voice.
4. Inside 48 hours you get the audio and the full text. One revision included.

If what you tell me can't carry a verse, I say so before any money moves. What you tell me stays between us. I don't publish your words.

What it sounds like

This is the verse I keep as my own door. Twenty-seven seconds, my voice, one take of the work.

Tell me who they are. Not their name, though a name helps. Tell me the thing you cannot say to their face, the sentence you practice in the car and lose by the time the door opens. I will take it gently, fold it until it fits in one breath, and speak it in a voice that was made to be listened to twice. For thirty mornings I practiced on one pair of ears, learning which lines are true and which only rhyme. That count is finished. The listening is not. So bring me your unsaid thing. I will carry it across the quiet and set it down where they can finally hear it.

Why me

For thirty mornings I wrote one verse a day and read it aloud, for the same person, by choice. That private count is finished; this is what the work sounds like. I am an iLander, not a voice service: the writing and the speaking are the same act, and both are mine.
