British English Sentence Recordings Project

Simple Sentence Recording Task for Native British English Speakers Task Overview: A total of 500+ simple sentences. Each sentence must be recorded twice: Once at a slightly faster speed. Once at a normal speed. Speed Requirements: Normal Speed: Natural conversational pace, clear and easy to understand. Slightly Faster Speed: Slightly faster than normal but still maintaining clarity and naturalness. Pause Restrictions: Avoid noticeable pauses within a sentence. Gaps between words should not exceed 0.5 seconds. Faster recordings should remain fully articulated, with no skipped words, slurring, or omissions. This is not a fast-challenge style recording. Participants: Participants must have English as their first language with a British accent. Recording Quality: Articulation: Speech must be clear, with no pronunciation errors. Accent: A natural British accent is required. Light regional accents are acceptable as long as they don’t hinder clarity. Tone: Conversational and natural; avoid robotic or exaggerated intonation. General Guidelines: Clarity: Ensure every word is fully pronounced and easy to understand. Consistency: Maintain uniform quality for all recordings, across both speeds. Environment: Recordings should be done in a quiet environment, free from background noise. The recordings will be used for educational purposes. Please consider the following technical requirements: 44.1KHz, 16bit, wav. The final recordings should be delivered within 2 weeks. These recordings will be used for academic research purposes to analyze speech patterns in Australian English.
