Dear recipient,
We are three third-year BA students of Linguistics in The Netherlands, and we are currently doing an experiment investigating voice attractiveness. We want to reach a broad international audience, and therefore we would like to spread our experiment not only
in the Netherlands but also around the world. Therefore, we want to try to reach some participants who have signed up for the Auditory List, since we think that our experiment might be of interest to them.
The purpose of the experiment is to find out what phonetic qualities correlate to certain perceptions of a voice. The experiment will take about 20-25 minutes in total. You will listen to 29 short audiofragments, and then you will be asked about certain personality
traits and to what degree they are applicable to the voice. Before the experiment starts, there will be a short questionnaire about your linguistic background and some general information. Your answers to the questionnaire and the rest of the experiment will
be processed and stored anonymously. All data will be treated confidentially.
