You'll all be able to listen to my garbled Wisconsin/Tennessee-accented voice sometime soon.
My team is getting a bonus soon (next couple weeks or so) so I'll be able to spend some cash on a microphone.
Until that day arrives, imagine Jerry Lundegard (from the movie "Fargo") deciding not to pronounce the "g" of the "-ing" suffix. My vowels are still true to their hard/straight/non-rounded/Northern Germanic upbringing -- there is no "e" in "oh"! -- but i've more or less dropped that "g".
Nuttin' but a G thang baby -- Snoop diagnosed my particular change years ago. _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |

Yes, you pronounce my name perfectly!
I do not imagine writing my research with improper spelling. :lol:
I try to stick to spelling rules even when I am writing e-mails to friends. It is better to write flawlessly. :wink:
Thank you.
Take care,

Thank you Philburk for your experimental recording.
It shows that a clear recording requires not only a calm background but also some good equipments and sound system.
I listen to many recordings in this forum but a few of them, in my opinion, pass the quality test and convey the message to members without any discomfort.
Anyway thanks to the admin team for providing such an option for us to listen to many a styles of voice modulations in English pronunciation. _________________ Sahid59
