On my machine, it sounds like the recording volume was to high or you were too close to the mike -- the b's and p's are distorted.

Huh? I've listened to that recording and I clearly don't hear an /V/ sound in those words.

@ Guest

Mike were are you from?

I sence the slight American accent in your recording though I don't think Americans would call it a 'car park' but a 'car lot' Car park is common to Commonweath countries (Canada included to some extent).

Guest, are you from Arizona, dude? Or it was another dude?
Guest = Brad   Tue Dec 20, 2005 6:03 am GMT
Sorry Mike. No I'm not from Arizona nor the US LOL.... from New Zealand actually.

i gave it to listen to a guy from NJ and he said, probably, i sounded like someone from the Midwest ... close to someone right there ....
Brad   Tue Dec 20, 2005 6:08 am GMT
Well I'm not a Language expert but from my basic knowledge your recording sounded American.

I think its best if the Americans comment on your accent.
