Hi Damian! I really like your voice for this genre! Good flow and clarity of the read with plenty of emphasis on key words to keep the listener’s attention. Very good!

Hi Robert! That sounded good, you have a good voice for this genre. It did seem to fade out in the ling with “…ended with the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1973…” but then came back to the same volume later. I also heard “decisive” instead of “divisive” in the second line. Not a big deal. There are so many number stats in this read (concentrated in lines 3 and 4 mainly), I wonder if you could really emphasis those numbers when you come to them so that the listener can take a beat to understand how shocking the statistics of this war really are. The read overall flowed well. Good job!

Hi Robert! This was great, a really good fit for your voice. It flowed very casually and was a fun listen, very conversational. I like how the inflection varied at the end with “where all the cool kids go” and “it’s a winner”. Great job!

Hi Kathy – thanks for the feedback! Ok, will try more emphasis on what seems to be the punchline / point of this script (even after 600 years), good tip there. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback RYoung! I am trying for a realistic conversational tone, so hope I’m making some progress there. I will work on the weird-sounding words too. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback Robert! Yes, I’ve been trying to vary up my tone without going overboard, and will work on hitting the key words. Thanks!

You are welcome! I struggle to get a good flow and not be choppy myself, so I know what you mean. It’s a fine balance! 🙂

You are welcome Robert! I’m guessing it was hard to do and keep up the pace, but your pace was consistent throughout; really sounded good. Paul Harvey was such an iconic speaker too, so being able to emulate him while keeping your own identity is a good goal to stretch for.
