Hello! I usually do my own recordings for stuff, but for this I need as much variety in vocal talent as I can get. I'm working on a sound collage project for school (mixing a piece in surround sound, and I've already used a number of sounds from the site, but I can't find the rest of what I need). Basically, my piece has a lot to do with dream sequences and meditation in my own personal life. I would like to get the following mantra phrases in as many different languages and voice types as possible, it doesn't matter what ones, just if anyone knows a language other than english (though I would like one english version too), please record a sample for me! German, Russian, Indian, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, Swahili, etc etc etc... Here are the phrases:
* I am present now
* I love myself
* I am free from anger
* I am free from sadness
* Love is my experience
Put a little pause in between each phrase so I can splice them apart and move it around to where I feel they are needed in the piece. Also, I know it's a lot to ask, but if you can, please at least record at 48k/24 bit (Higher quality is always awesome. And I can work with 16 bit, but prefer 24). Stereo or mono is fine, I can make either work. You can either upload here or send to me in a personal email (I know sound moderation has taken a while lately, and I have some time, but not a LOT of time with this project). Any help is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to any samples I get!! Thank you my friends!

Mesmerizing... Your request was so mesmerizing and clear that it was easy to do. I like it to help somebody that is werking for school.
I hope other freesounders Will help you to. ;-0
I'll do the phrases in Italian for you. Maybe also Spanish, and probably not French (my pronunciation always tastes atrocious, lol), though if nothing else I can post the written forms of those for somebody else to record. My grandma speaks all three languages and she worked as a teacher most of her life; she'll be all over this
She and I have a dinner date tonight, so I'll see about getting some translations from her then~
Here is my one in Spanish, it is awaiting moderation.
You might need to do noise removal. If you can't, let me know and I'll do it for you.

And I will repeat what Calcuttan says. There's no language called "Indian."
I'll record this in Hindi, Gujarati (almost-sister languages). There are many ways to say these, so I will say the sentence in English first and then repeat the various ways in which it could be said. I'll do two files, one for each language, (probably a third one with the help of my Marathi friend), and post the links here when they are moderated. (Will try to send you a PM for the links before then).
Edit 1:
Here's the Hindi take (in 48/24). It came out like some Rosetta Stone Language Lesson. Lemme know if you want me to do these more naturally. Some of these "may" be wrong, not in terms of word choice, but they wouldn't make sense if you were to literally translate them. Also, if you speak these to someone, it may sound more formal than informal, although anyone who knows Hindi should be able to understand these.
Cheers.
