[Open] University study — This isn't a chorus but take a look, please !

Hello everyone ! First of all, I got the green light to post that odd "project" here, so it's ok if it's not really a chorus.

Now, let's begin a little presentation, I'll write some long stuff, read it carefully, it is principally for singers who are native english speakers, but off course you can read the whole thing if that interest you to know what's going on.

So, I'm G or Djee (my name is Simon btw and a lot of people are calling me by my name ahah) in the community, I'm not a famous singer or musician and I'm still pretty new into it, but being with all those singers, musicians and artists is my vocation.
Surprisingly, I'm not working in music but in phonetics !

I'm french, and in France, for a Master degree, we have to make a study in a field of our choice, a sort of baby Doctorat (equivalent of the PhD in France) which is important to prepare for the real PhD. I'm studying English linguistic and culture and my choice was phonetics !

So why am I posting that ?

Because my study is linked to music and singers.
I need to create a corpus of native english speaker singers which will work with me. Well let's say that I'll work and they'll just record some stuff for me.
I already has 13 people who said yes for my study, but the larger the corpus, the better the results will be !

So it's a very important and serious work ! It will implies some questionnaires with quite personal questions (where you lived during your whole life (if you moved for example), some informations about your parents, etc.), but at the publication of the study, everything will be kept secret and anonymated, only the results of my analysis of the corpus will be important, all the personal stuff will be kept appart.
Off course if you want me to link your YouTube channel at the end in the thanks section, I'll do so, I was planning to propose to all the singers of the community (that are willing to share a bit of their time for me) to link them as a big thank you.

So in the end, if you want to participate, your participation in the corpus would be the following one ::

Thanks for your attention !
And if you have questions, don't hesitate and ask me everything. ~

PS : I'll add my Skype in my profile if you want to contact me directly.
