    Thank you very much. I am doing coaching in voiceover and they told me that I do a lot of glottal stops and I wasn't fully 100% sure what they meant even after they explained it to me. These examples have helped me mentally visualize what it means and this will help me with not doing that.

    Sorry (not really) to complicate things but can I add something from my part of the country - Durham. Up here and in fact all over Durham, Tyne & Wear and Northumberland we have a unique way of pronouncing this type of 't' sound. We also use a glottal stop but not instead of the 't' sound like for example Londoners but we keep the 't' and produce a glottal stop simultaneously with it! We do exactly the same with 'p' and 'k' sounds. If you want to know if somebody is from the north east just ask them to say 'later', 'happy' and 'lucky' and you'll see. It's what most people call the 'Geordie' accent. It's probably not wise to try to imitate it unless you're going to live here but it's interesting to hear.

      Replacing the hard "t" sound with a glottal stop before vowels has actually become a trend in the U.S. lately, too. You can hear interviewers and weather people doing it on t.v., not only at the ends of words but in the middle of them, too. I wonder how long it will take for this fashion to be replaced by some other strange pronunciation trend. What will the next one be?

Like in "a lot of work".. that goes more like "alorofwork" (not exactly but you get the idea).😅 Or "That is true" that becomes "Datstru"😅
