Quote:1) My question is Shannon, does these subs work only when the target knows English well or their should be native English speaker?
The person will respond as well as their subconscious understands English. Currently there is some question as to whether or not the subconscious has access to comprehension of all languages, but I can say that since it remembers everything you ever learn, it will respond better than your conscious mind would to the same audio.
Quote:2) Since these subs were recorded in American English slang ( I assume u recorded in that slang) the target should understand American / British Slang well?
I don't think, based on context, that you mean "slang". Your context suggests you mean "accent". "Slang" English is improper English, which I never use. I do use an American English accent, since that is what I have. However, it is unusual for me to record my own voice to get these built, because that would more than double the amount of time required to build them (having no audio-clean environment in which to record, and of course editing and cleanup time), and the price as well in cases of multi-stage sets, where the scripts can be hundreds of suggestions and tens of pages long. Normally, I use text to speech to create the audio, which saves me sometimes weeks of work and hundreds of dollars creating the audio I need, and therefore, it saves you guys a lot of money.
There are a variety of accents within the "American" and "British" English realm. Some are so thick that someone speaking the "standard" variant of either would be lost trying to understand them. The accent I use in my recordings is standard American English, which is what you hear used in American newscasts. This is pretty much universally understood within English speaking areas, as is the "standard" British and Australian accent. There should be no issue with that.
Quote:3) Does device like mobile phone or Equalizer setting matters a lot ( Eg Normal,Rock, Jazz, Wide, Classic, Concert hall etc)?
The device matters in that the quality of the speaker matters based on whether or not it can reproduce the proper frequency range (20 kHz minimum on the high end). I have not encountered one that did not.
If you're going to worry about equalization, prefer Jazz or Classical settings.
