Good job with this!First, I could hear some pronounciation issues with a few words like "quantity" and "hospitality" and so on so just remember if there's any word you're confused about you can always google them and listen to how its said on there. Or if you misread it, always listen back to your auditions just to catch these little mistakes (of course its fine here since this is hw and we want the mistakes left in). But minus the ones you mispronounce, your articulation is good and clear!

Don;t be afraid to change up your tone and have fun with it! I know this sorta script most find a bit boring, but think of it as a sort of character and try to draw your audience in, since thats what we voice actors do. Think of sublte changes in your pacing, pauses, empahsis, inflections, volume, intesnity, and so on to make this more unique to you and the audience.

You're lacking in your projection so make sure you take bigger breaths and push out using your diaphragm your voice so that it fits the scenario of being in a gym without a mic and the person at the other end of the room needs to be able to hear you. You can use the trick of placing your phone at the other end of a big room while recording and try to do this script at the other end to see if your phone can pick up your voice. Overall you're doing great and keep up on your exercises and practice, practice, practice!

    Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I mispronounced those words. I kind of roll over my words without realizing it when I read aloud, especially when I'm speaking fast like I did in certain parts of the script. I'm not sure why this happens because when I take my time, I feel like I don't sound natural so I speak faster and end up fumbling. I feel like this and projection might be the most difficult for me to master.

    The fact I did this in one take didn't do me any favors lol.
