(motherly) "Ssshhhh quiet now Abdullah! I know I know! Thou art hungry! We are all hungry." 2. (Polite) "Good even, fair lady. We art in quest of a young lad. I believe his name to be Muhammad." 3. (Delighted) "Dear husband. This child has brought forth miracles from the heavens!" 4. (tearfully, hysteric) "I beg thy pardon, my lady! I beg thy forgiveness. I am ignorant of what transpired. I tried asking the boy! But his tale be most extraordinary! I meant no harm to him. My love for him doth match that for mine own kin!"
I really liked your delivery, I'm interested in what recording setup you have as the mic quality or recording room is poor.
Thank you! The one I used for the audition is just a random recording on my phone. What I normally use in studio is Lewitt BMS-101 mic with a Focusrite Scarlett Audio Interface and editing on Adobe Audition (you can listen to the quality of that in my one audio demo on my profile page).
