Nayr's Core5000 deck (Frequency Dictionary of Japanese)

Your wife have really beautiful voice, but I have question about pronunciation.

I've noted that pronunciation differs from voices in Core 2k/Core 6k.
Particularly: vowels う、い are not so frequently reduced as in Core 2k/Core 6k.

Is it just normal pronunciation of normal people (not NHK pronunciation) or maybe it's some local accent?

Thank you
Hi Ingaz, glad you like the deck. Do you have a specific sentence that you notice it in?

The narrator comes from 北九州, but to be honest, I can't really tell due to the fact I listen to her voice everyday so its what I am used to.

None of the sentences were region specific though (i.e. she would usually say '良いやん' instead of '良いじゃん' or '知らんっちゃ' instead of '知りません' etc.) but you won't find anything like that featured in the deck.

The voices in core6k etc, sound very 'textbook-ish' for lack of a better word and try very hard to have 'proper' pronunciation, its up to you what you prefer.
