Okay, since I need help I'm going to expand the help base

[JMV]

I need some recordings of some one talking without making the hoarse/horse, caught/cot, or cheer/chair mergers.   I end up merging the vowels so they sound the same, I want a recording of some one who pronounces them differently.


plz

hoarse/horse isn't a merger.  Their homophones.
