HW REVIEW

Hey Callie! Audacity is a perfectly suitable DAW (digital audio workspace) to use, especially just for HW submissions, so don't feel like you need to get another right now. Of course, you are welcome to experiment! There are plenty of good options out there and everyone will have their preference of DAW to use! (I still use Audacity for auditions, but I also use Adobe Audition when recording for projects)

Onto your submission. Your projection is great. Very clear and I love the energy! You hit the beginning of the script a bit fast, but you quickly fall into a nice consistent pace.

Volume is good! I think you managed the relationship with your mic very well in this script.

As mentioned before, you start the script with a really quick pace, so you use up the strength of your breath pretty quickly. This is why you find yourself starting to get a bit breathy towards the middle and end. You have to start taking more breaths and more pauses to rest your lungs because you start running out of stamina.

Keep up your breathing exercises and be sure to warm up every time you record! You'll soon start to hear the improvements in your breath control and stamina! Overall, excellent job!
