Where to stress in this sentence: How're ya doing?

Where to stress in this sentence: How're ya doing? I often stress on ya, but what is the exact place to stress? I think we would raise our voice at the end of the question, wouldn't we?
  

Top answer

Equal stress on 'how' and 'do'. Incidentally, the "How're" is usually just pronounced 'how', dropping the 'r' sound: how ya do-in? How are you doing really?
