is it just me or the pronunciation for HR Partner is off at https://vimeo.com/157981359#t=0m24s https://vimeo.com/157981359#t=0m24s (the H is mispronounced)

  Well picked up. I think that is really a colloquial thing. My wife is Australian, and she does tend to switch between "aitch" and "haitch" for the pronunciation. Good tip to remember in future to keep it consistent. I am thinking also that US viewers might be discomfited by her pronunciation of "data". Once again, the Aussie way is "darr-ta" rather than "day-ta".

    gotcha! I'm not a native speaker, so I had to double-check how to pronounce the H :)

  I can't decide on that. The voice is amazing, and in the US we see foreign accents as "trendy". However if the target market was US (which I have no idea if it is), I wouldn't be surprised if A/B testing would favor an American accent. Just because we hear it all day, so we are much more used to it.

  This is how most Australians pronounce H (as 'haitch').
