“Congratulations on winning the election and leading our country to greatness, Mr. President. You know, I got you elected so I could get the weapon’s contract.
I don’t know if it slipped your mind, but I’m through being patient with you. I will expose you as the fraud that you’ve always been.”
“Coronavirus is a dangerous disease that spreads quickly and threatens the most vulnerable in our communities. People with conditions like serious heart disease, chronic kidney disease, asthma, diabetes and people treated for cancer are most likely to become seriously ill. So clean your hands often for at least 20 seconds. And if you can’t use soap and water, use hand sanitizer. Stay at least six feet, about two arm lengths, away from other people. And when around others, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth covering. Protect the circle of life. Protect yourself, your families and our coronavirus communities. Wishing you all good health and thank you. This message was brought to you by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Visit CDC.gov for more information.”
*Disclaimer: I’m not a SW fan, so I’m not sure how Darth Maul is actually supposed to sound. I did two takes, which one sounds better?
Maul: *Lost*. I am lost… And yet, I-I can *feel* his presence, so close. So close! I can… *see* him… in my mind’s eye. Kenobi. KENOBIIIII!… Will it end here, like *this*? *No*. NO! I must draw Kenobi out, *tempt* his noble heart. But how, *how*?… I know… I *know*.
I’ve been expecting you. Why? Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me?
Oh! You still don’t know who I am. Let me try and help you with that. . .I am the ill ease that you feel when you walk into a crowded room. You know. The hot and cold flushes that confuse you when you are already confused enough. I am the one that raises the whip to your already raising heart. I am the tightening of your chest. The s*********g worries that feel like they might become an avalanche and they can just bury you in an instant.
My friend, I am the obsessive and the compulsive. I’m the voice. You know the one. Always questioning, questioning, questioning, everything you do, everything you think. And I am every, single staring eye that watches you. So, now that we have become acquainted, what are you going to do about it?

The background music was a nice touch. I liked that you added the personal touch of “financin'” instead of “financing” to really create the “down home country” appeal for the voice.
I thought that you had a good “reading tone”, but not necessarily a conversational tone. But you were clear and articulate and didn’t stumble over your words.
