Author(s): Catherine Ryu, Benjamin Furman, Devin Higgins Notes: Tone Perfect, a Mandarin Chinese (MC) audio database developed by an interdisciplinary team at Michigan State University (MSU), was launched in August 2017 as a digital collection and open access dataset to support teaching and research that pertain to MC. This article provides an overview of how the research team, the audio production team, and the digital repository team collaborated to build the database (tone.lib.msu.edu/), which includes an exhaustive catalogue of monosyllabic sounds in MC (410 in total) in four tones (410 x 4 = 1,640) pronounced by six native MC speakers.
