Is such pronunciation Thank you for considering me this opportunity normal/natural/acceptable/common among native English speaking people? (The audio comes from the wikipedia-English edition entry vocal fry register.)
To my ears there are some apparently unusual points in the audio:
1. -sid- in considering becomes -ds- /dz/ . That is, the vowel -i- is elided and then there is a metathesis (sounds transposition) for -s- and -d- so that it gets difficult, for non-native English speakers/learners who do not speak fluent English yet, to associate what they have heard to the word considering.
2. the preposition for, peculiarly, gains the stress while the following verb considering has no stress at all.
I'm wondering if this or such pronunciation(s) (especially about the new-created /dz/ sounds) is good or natural, or in spite of seeming unofficial or unnatural, it's pretty acceptable and common among native English speaking people?
