Hey there Dillon – I like the ending to the 99ers recording and would suggest the beginning of the reading to be just a bit less charged and more empathetic for the subject (losing unemployment benefits). The second recording I thought it began well but the volume started getting lower towards the end of the recording which I don’t think was intentional. The pacing was also a bit fast and would suggest slowing down a little. I would also suggest that you make your statements more affirmative sounding as some of your statements sound as if you are asking a question because you end them higher in pitch. Eg. “we are all in the same boat”; and because boat is a bit higher it does not sound as convincing as it should.
