Say something in Russian!

I have a voice post request. If you can vp the proper way to say "Я не обязан оправдываться перед тобой" (so I know where to stress, where to pronounce the o like ah, and all that), I would be eternally grateful.

What's vp? (in dictionary it's vice president)

[spiritrc.livejournal.com]

I believe that's an acronym from 'voice post'.

vp = voice post :)

[g-l-k.livejournal.com]

vp also means a voice post:)

I have no idea what vp is, but you can use this (http://www.moshkow.net/snd/neobyazan.mp3).

P.S.

(there's three versions, with slightly different intonation that emphasizes different words.)

качественно :)

I am indeed very happy that you like it, but I also have to remind (traditionally) that the working language of this community is English. Thank you.

It sounds like
Я не абЯзан апрАвдываться пЕред табОй
I think, the stress should be put on the phrase не обязан

Was it useful?

I'm afraid your version of stressing is correct only if words are pronounced separately. :)
When pronounced as a phrase, it sounds more like "Я ниабЯзан апрАвдываца пириттабОй"
