Great clarity! Your energy is nice and engaging while also having a smooth, calm tone. I'd say one area for improvement would be to pay attention to how you flow through the words of a sentence, based on the grammar/syntax/context of that sentence. For example, at 0:03, it sounds like you conclude your thought at "Bug Blood", and then you say "Bonanza" as a separate statement, when actually it should be delivered as one whole phrase, "Bug Blood Bonanza". And at 0:24, it sounds like you're finishing the sentence on the word "classic" as if it's a noun ("a quality classic"), but if you look at the context of the script, "classic" is actually used as an adjective ("a classic drink") and it's in the middle of the list of descriptors, "quality, classic, perfect", so the delivery should flow continuously throughout that sentence. But overall, very nice read! I like the variation of pitch that you use throughout, and your articulation is good. Your delivery has life to it while also being relaxed. Looking forward to your later submissions!

Ah wunderbar! You did so well in keeping a nice slow pace that allowed you to really hone in on articulating during the read! Excellent! Very nice work separating. each. and. every. word. enough to enunciate fully and attack those consonants!

I think what tripped you up through the read pretty consistently was your breath support. You were stretching your air to make it as far as possible and a lot of the time you stretched your breath just a little too far. The end of your breaths became sped up, or the words tumbled together, or lost air support and faded away. When you notice something like any of those things happen, go ahead and stop, then take the script again from the beginning of the sentence or a natural break point within the sentence. The fleeting end of breath delivery stands in pretty stark contrast to the rest of your measured and methodic pace.

Another good time to back up a read is when you strike an awkward place to stop, it probably could use another go! For example, midway through a sentence. Like right at the top where bonanza was said after a little pause, or the last -est in the best-est-est also having a similar pause. Best to tackle those from the top of a phrase as opposed to just trying to make it work with editing. When in doubt, have a listen back to it and try to imagine saying it in conversation. If it feels strange, take it again.

Great practice here, really locked in on the purpose of the homework, love to see it! And can't wait to see more!
