accent donation
step 1: read
Have a look at the PDF below with the consent page and everything you need to know to successfully record your accent:
step 2: record
I've created the above PDF that contains the following four sections with instructions on what to say:
- consent
- speaker background
- word list
- longer text
- free speech
These timings are only estimates and vary slightly according to speaker, language and accent. Your recording will roughly be 6 minutes short - it's up to you if you want to do everything in one sitting or split it up into four separate recordings, one recording for one page each.
​
Feel free to use whichever recording device you like - it doesn't have to be a professional one. I can recommend the app Easy Voice Recorder for your phone, as it's free and quite intuitive to navigate.
