This was fabulous. Even when there was a troublesome word, you handled it with calm and grace. The beginning could have used a little more enthusiasm, but I felt that the longer the monologue went on the more into it you became.

Nice job with this read, Fredrick! I really like the pace you set for this take. You weren't trying to speak super fast simply for the sake of speed, and it helped your articulation a lot. That said, I felt that as the read progressed, you tended to increase the speed more and more at various points, and your articulation suffered a bit. Clarity is so much more important than speed, so try pouring your all into that! In addition, your energy level felt a bit low, so try sitting/standing up straight and giving your voice that extra push when doing a read like this next time. Overall though, great work!
