I'm going to take a leaf from your book because this was a pleasure to listen to.

Extraordinary work Era, I very much enjoyed the accent work and the funny fan club news reel vibe you went for! This is also pretty good casual RP, that is received pronunciation or generic British accent. The major stumble is on the /ɒ/ sound on your o's. Specifically in "rot" You were hitting that quite american like with that "o" coming out like /ɑ/ "aw" r-aw-t as opposed to the the "ou" sound that is used in RP. See the way you hit wrought r-ou-h-t. It also happened a tiny bit with Robin sometimes, you just want to watch those "o" sounds and hit that "ou" sound consistently, in IPA again that's the /ɒ/ sound or the open back rounded vowel.

The delivery choice and theme were executed quite well! The strongly projected announcer type read works wonderfully for the context you chose and I could imagine the scene you described happening as you read. That said hitting it again I think I would have liked to see a little more drama in the retelling of events. Ham it up a little bit when describing how Robin got that rot, make things a little more uncertain and raise that tension before the reveal that it was all according to plan. Make that triumph more bombastic as well. One way we could go about this is using more of the dynamic volume range we have. Instead of the whole read being at the same volume, dial it up and down with the events of script. Slow down and make it quiet to draw them in then hit hard and loud the the dramatic bits!

Very fun and well done read Era! Awesome work and looking forward to some more!
