I struggle with projection and sustained energy, is why I went for this read.

Great job with your projection! 

A good scene for the need for projection at a baseball stadium during a game! However, you sound more like an announcer stating facts instead of talking to a friend. It feels a little stiff. Imagine how your friend is reacting as you tell him each point. Is he laughing, distracted trying to wave down a food vendor while you’re talking to him, or is he half listening as he’s watching the game? When you talk to a friend, it should sound less like a read and more like everyday conversation. It’s a challenging skill to acquire to sound genuine and authentic, so I encourage you to keep practicing and seek additional training on this - particularly if you’d like to go into commercial work. You may have a headstart on announcer type reads though! :) 

0:15 Mispronounced “Rennes”. Don’t be afraid to look up how to pronounce words online if you aren’t familiar with them. Some great reference sources include Cambridge Dictionary (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/), youglish.com, forvo.com and You Tube Videos among other places (there’s a lot of options out there). You can simply type in “How to pronounce [word]” in Google search and it should give you several references. Try to avoid the robot ones though.

0:20 Mispronounced “Rhuddlan”.

0:25, 0:42, 1:06 I hear “ware” instead of “rare”.

Good job going back to the start of the line when you trip up. That will make editing out mistakes later a little easier.

Overall, it was a solid read! Keep up the good work!
