Hi Nikka, I really appreciate the energy you’re bringing to this read and can tell you connect with the material. I think picturing a particular person and really speaking to them might help you with being conversational. With regard to glottal stops, one trick I learned a long time ago in a theatre context is to put a teeny ‘h’ before the vowel, just to get your air moving. Full disclosure: I’m a newbie to the world of VO and I have no idea whether the pros would agree with me — that might be something that microphones would too easily catch. But, could be worth a try! -Hondo
