25: Languages, Voices & Sound with Chinese PhD Researcher Phoebe

How sound sensitive are you? Our guest today, Phoebe, grew up with Mandarin Chinese but has learned a myriad of languages including English, Finnish, German & more. But her sound talent goes far beyond languages into sound and voice research in her current PhD life in Ireland. She is currently researching the connection between recorded voices and listeners’ emotional responses to them. This sensitivity and Phoebe’s general curiosity touch every aspect of language that we discuss in this conversation. 
Note: There are some construction noises, ironically, in this conversation. They do NOT last the entire time, so hang in there.
