First line: I prefer the second take, I think the pitch is better. Second line: I prefer the first take because something odd happens with enunciation toward the end of the second take. Third line: I like the second take, again--actually, I like you read on this line in general simply because you've gone a different route than everyone else and I hadn't heard the line that way when I wrote it--I appreciate the new perspective.
Thank you very much for the feedback!
