When the past ending ed comes after a voiceless sound it is voiceless /t/, and after a voiced sound it is voiced /d/.
passed /pɑːst/picked /pɪkt/begged /beɡd/
Here. Varied /ˈveə.rid/

Mark The Stressed Syllable
When a word has more than one syllable, the primary stress marker must be placed before the stressed syllable. It is wrong to write /lɔː.jə/ without the stress marker.
