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.

世間から疎まれるような人たちが好き勝手に振舞い、横暴な態度をとること。
せけんからうとまれるようなひとたちがすきかってにふるまい、おうぼうなたいどをとること。People shunned by society acting freely and taking a domineering attitude.
