    For any ear, I'd wager, but yes, definitely from an American ear!

    It's strange, but for me it doesn't sound sexy. We have, I assume, different understanding of audible sexiness. I admit Gerty's voice to be interesting, but not something else. There are many similar voices at my place, so I might have got used to them. And don't omit the fact that gerty originally comes from my city, as she told us some time ago in the "fun" lounge.

    I think Gerty speaks to quickly for learners to here the pronunciation clearly.

    Maybe. But only for learners. If she starts speaking more slowly the Russians here will say her pronunciation is strange. Therefore, I think it would be a good idea to say in advance that what you have recorded is recorded slowly.

    I know, but the person who requested the pronunciation is a learner.

    Of course! What's the use of recording your voice for a native Russian speaker? Next time I'm making a recording I'll know that.
