Voice Matching Game

By answering the following questions, you are participating in a study being performed by linguists in the UC Berkeley Linguistics Department. Your anonymity is assured; the researchers who have requested your participation will not receive any personal information about you. There is a link to a questionnaire at the end of the task. If you do not complete the questionnaire, your HIT will be rejected.


In this study, you will be presented with audio recordings of whispered English words. For each recording, listen to a series of synthetic voices and then choose the voice that you feel would most likely belong to the whisperer. Please do this experiment in one sitting, without taking any breaks.

Sound requirements:

  • Please be sure to complete this experiment in a quiet environment without any distractions.
  • Please use headphones rather than speakers if at all possible.
  • Please be sure the volume of your computer is turned up to the highest comfortable level.
