Real voices: how native speakers say it

These sentences were read aloud by real people — native Japanese speakers — for the open Mozilla Common Voice project. Listen to how a phrase sounds in real speech: the intonation, the pace, the way words run together. Two speakers mean two different people read it — compare them.

ああ、わかってるさ。
ああ、わかってるさ。Ah, I know.
「やっぱりお化けや幽霊じゃないんだ。ああして歩いているところをみると、人間にちがいない」
「やっぱりおばけやゆうれいじゃないんだ。ああしてあるいているところをみると、にんげんにちがいない」"So it's not really a ghost or specter after all. Seeing it walk around like that, it must be human."
ああ、この顔には表情が無いばかりか、印象さえ無い
ああ、このかおにはひょうじょうがないばかりか、いんしょうさえないAh, this face not only lacks expression, it has no impression either.
