### Subset: TV-2021.02-Neutral
This subset contains about 22.000 recordings in a **neutral style**. The recording quality is mixed. Bad USB microphone
or good Rode Podcaster microphone and used a recording chamber. See microphone feature for information. The pronounciation is very clear and slow.
Every word is pronounced very well, but the speech flow is less natural because of very clear recording.
