My listening is poor, I can't understand these recordings

[VillaCarlosPaz]

I'm trying to improve my listening but it's difficult to me. Could you help me?

Listen to English Listening | LearnEnglish | British Council | The Birth of a Star

I can't understand what is he saying at 0:02 - 0:03 (after "Welcome to this recording").

.................................................. .......

Listen to the audio of this video: BBC Learning English | Pronunciation Tips

I can't understand what is she saying after "listen and repeat (????)"

Thanks.

Welcome to this recording, brought to you by the British Council

Thanks, Tdol.

Could you say me what is saying the woman of this video between "listen and repeat" and "me"? I can't understand.

Thanks again.

Listen and repeat after me (= after she has made the sound)
