J'ai presque peur en vérité

“J'ai presque peur en vérité” from Fauré’s La Bonne Chanson, spoken in French — 2 minutes, 22 lines of text.

Spoken slowly by an opera singer whose mother tongue is the language of the score, one line at a time, with the phonetic transcription underneath. Slow a phrase without changing its pitch, loop the line that will not sit, and read along as the voice moves.
