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.

まず自分から声かけてみれば。
まずじぶんからこえかけてみれば。Try speaking up first.
自分のことは自分で決めたかったのに
じぶんのことはじぶんできめたかったのにI wanted to decide things myself.
自分を積み重ねられるのはひとりだけ
じぶんをつみかさねられるのはひとりだけOnly I can accumulate myself
