HW Review:

Really nice pacing and clarity, Eddie! You have such a friendly voice that suits this type of script well. Nice job placing your breaths in a strategic way that allowed you to keep up consistent support for your projection.

Speaking of projection, you did a pretty decent job here. On a scale of 10, I'd say you start out at about a 6.5, but you gradually grow into a stable 8 in a handful areas within the script. You don't strain yourself and you take thoughtful, yet natural breaths to support your speech, which takes some awareness that not everyone has.

I would definitely love to hear more of that enthusiastic energy that you push out in a few areas within your performance. You're doing a good job with the basics, so next time feel free to play around a little more with some boastfulness and add even more power to your projection!

Overall, solid read. Keep up the nice work!
