This corpus of Singaporean English speech was recorded in 2016. Parents of children 0-6 years of age were asked to read an English language storybook as they would when interacting with their children. The goal was to elicit child-directed speech under different conditions, as cued by different versions of the storybook. Audio recordings were completed by BLIP Lab member Juanita Travers Kumar, under the guidance of Suzy J Styles.
