Great job on this read! I want you to push it even further and really harness your diaphragm, your voice should have power, passion, and presence, like you’re speaking to a full gym with no microphone. Right now, your pacing is just slightly fast, which makes it sound friendly, but it doesn’t give the sense of weight or excitement that a full room demands. Slowing down a little will not only help with breath control, but it also gives the audience time to really absorb and feel your energy.

Focus fully on projection: every word should carry confidence and excitement. Smile while you read; this will naturally brighten your tone and make your performance more inviting. Think of something that genuinely excites you and let that emotion fuel the delivery; channel that joy and enthusiasm into every line. Your goal is to make me feel so drawn in that I can’t help but want to engage with what you’re presenting.

Always remember, going faster doesn’t automatically make a read more exciting. Instead, lean into the character-performance aspect: how your voice, energy, and passion sell not just the words, but the story behind them. Keep practicing projection, pacing, and emotion, and I’m confident your next take will be absolutely magnetic. Can’t wait to hear it!
