I like the clarity in your reading, and it sounds like your breath control is good as well. My only critique is that for this piece, you should be more demanding of your audience's attention, that is, be more assertive in delivery. I overall thought your recording itself was very good, but just bringing the context to your attention. Good Job!

Your voice is very smooth! I definitely heard the strain around the 1:40 mark as you were trying to push the air out to finish the line. Practice those Doggy Pants!

Thanks for the comments!

Great job focusing so much on your articulation! Working on and shaping that aspect of your voice will pay off in SPADES the more it's perfected. I do feel that your read lacked a lot of energy. Try doing this read while projecting directly from your gut, allowing your voice to fill up the "auditorium" that is in front of you! It's tough when focusing on both articulation and projection, but you nailed the articulation. Give a boost to that energy level, which will simultaneously add more character to your voice, and your read will be set! Nicely done!

Thanks for the feedback!
