No, actually Rosa's Spanish reading of the C-a text is
quite horrid.  The stress patterns are even wrong. And
she almost silabantizes my lovely Carrajena J into
nothingness.  The other one, the guy (Alberto was it?)
isn't too terribly bad.  His RR is spot on, but and
his J has a bit more oomph to it, but it's not the /Z/
sound it should be.  That said, even Rosa is better
than the other two French voices.  And don't EVEN let
Audrey read it! **CRINGE**
