Jane Setter joins the show to talk accents, speech prosody, and her new book "Your Voice Speaks Volumes."

Jane is Professor of Phonetics at The University of Reading, UK. In addition to her new book, she is also co-editor of the Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary and the Cambridge Handbook of Phonetics. Jane's research interests include speech prosody in children from atypical populations, teaching and learning English pronunciation, and features of the suprasegmental phonology of global varieties of English, such as Hong Kong and Malay speaker English.

*there's some slight static from 5:00 - 12:00

In this episode, Jane dives into:

the influences that pushed her into a career in phonology
speech classes and how Margaret Thatcher learned to "unshrill" her voice
being the first phonetician invited to speak at the IATEFL conference
the why and how of (unconscious) linguistic judgement
the significance of four seconds in speech recognition
why television shows choose certain accents for certain roles
why men can't make their voices sound sexy
what it means to have a voice that doesn't represent who you are
