Hi Grace,

Nice job! YOu have a lovely, deep, rich tone to your voice that is very pleasing to the ear. Your pronunications all sounded spot-on to me. I think you could pick up the pace a bit, and that will help with sounding a little more conversational. But you’re really selling the benefits, which becomes a bit more apparent as you go through the read. As I feel like everyone is talking about here these days, a good trick to start off right away sounding conversational is to do a lead in before you start recording, as though you’re simply having a conversation with someone you know. Also, I’ve been benefitting from using more body language and standing up when I read, in case you have tried those things. HOpe this is helpful, thanks for sharing! – Amanda
