It's a smidgen scratchier than normal today, I have a tickle in my throat. I just hope it doesn't develop into some sort of illness...

I'm not sure why, but I can't seem to hear it. The volumne is way low on mine. I can hear other things, though.

Its the perfect voice for a narrator of a movie trailer or something. You should see if you can be the announcer for the Ender's Game movie trailer when one is needed.

That first R is trilled, eh? and the first a sounds more like and e. I'll practice. Where's it from?

The first way is how I hear it in my head when I'm reading it. I'm sure I butcher it when I say it, though. Sorry.

Wow, you Canadians sure spell funny. I always thought it was pronounced Ra-ja. Oh well...with your voice, you can always come down and get a national television newsanchor spot. NBC and CBS have openings.

One of the a's in Raja is the same as one of the a's in asparagus. I leave it to you to decide which a's, though, because my memory is only so good.

Played it on my desktop computer with the speakers.
I'm sure I would have anglicized without knowing better, but having heard it, I'm positive I can say it correctly.

I bet that there are more people here who can say it right than there are in the general population. Obviously I'll have to start going to more Hatrack gatherings!

Oooo, that's the name of my uncle's horse. He is a beautiful horse, but we call him Ra. [/random fact of the moment]

By the way, correct pronunciation of someone's name can be important when casting spells. Thanks for sharing.
