as a radio announcer when I need money sometime? :P The only
thing, though, that bugs me when recording something in
English, is when my sometimes terrible German accent comes
through.

OK, so I was right and misinterpreted whatever I read about
creaky voice recently -- I don't know anymore where, really!
Thanks for clarifying that. I'll also listen to that Khmer
newscast thing Henrik gave a link to.
