Got 3 minutes? 🐦🐦 We're working on building tools to visualise both linguistic and vocal variation and could really use your help! We're looking for people who grew up in the UK and speak English as a main language. Interested? All the details + sign-up: bit.ly/MindViss Please share!

A Lancaster University call for participants poster with a light red background and blue sound wave across the middle. Who can take part? Anyone over 18 who grew up in the UK and speak English as a main language. What will I have to do? You will act out a short scenario in 3 1-minute phone calls with us. For your time, you will receive a £5 gift voucher. What's it all for? Using these recordings, we're aiming to build better tools to visualise the ways speakers use language and voice differently (and similarly!) Interested? Info & sign-up at https://bit.ly/MindViss
