I have been learning a lot as I’ve been working on my project to record through Acts in Greek. Since the beginning I’ve changed my process pretty significantly. I learned a couple weeks ago about the ACX, which is a marketplace for audiobook production. They have a technical standard that they hold audiobooks to if you want to be on their platform. While I don’t intend to put these on that platform, I decided to go ahead and use their standard as my guideline. My last few recordings were edited to this standard, and I decided last week to remaster my first 5 chapters to this higher quality standard as well. Though none of these are perfect (at this point mostly due to my own lack of narration skill and the lack of a professional studio), they are all improved. As a side note, I’m still not happy with chapter 2, so I may re-record that one in the future. If you have been following my work on this project, I recommend that you revisit (and redownload) all of my earlier files.

Here is Acts 7 in Greek using the Koine Era Pronunciation (aka Reconstructed Koine) from the SBLGNT. You can find Acts 1 – 6, and all of my other recordings on my Greek category page.

Feel free to download and share the files, but please cite me if you share it online (a link to my site is sufficient). Here is the text if you’d like to read along. If you notice any errors, please feel free to comment.
