I would like to ask for your voluntary participation in a survey, which is to be used in aid of my final year research project.





Your participation is voluntary and you can not be compensated but if you do decide to partake there will be no disadvantages for you, all data collected will be kept completely anonymous. If you would like to ask any questions or contact me you can do so by email: ml13176@qmul.ac.uk





The survey consists of 16 voice clips of speakers and then questions asking your opinion of these speakers, by asking you to rate to what extent you agree with certain statements. This is not a test; there are no right or wrong answers. I am only interested in your personal opinion. It should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.





The voice samples are very short, this may make you feel it is difficult to draw judgments on a speaker. However, we all do come to assumptions about a person based on the sound of their voice; it is these honest personal opinions that I am interested in.





You will need to be able to hear the voice clips, so the use of speakers or ideally headphones is necessary.





The clips are all taken from clips discussing books and literature.
