Wonderful narration- so nice to hear a narrator not rushing over the words like they’re just trying to finish. You really draw the listener in to the magical world. Thank you ☀️

Hello.. New subscriber here. Thankyou so much for a wonderful experience. Do you by chance have any children's stories? Looking forward to the rest of the story.

That and the hobbit are pretty kid friendly I think. I may start doing more kid oriented content very soon. Thank you for listening. 🙏

What a wonderful reading: fine pacing voice variation-nothing precious or melodramatic. It’s so rare to find such a good reading. I’ve just found you and you’ve obviously been successfully posting for awhile so I hesitate to make a request, but I will. Please eliminate the music. It’s distracting, irrelevant, and often annoying. It’s hard to imagine why or how it would be desirable. It nearly ruins your fine work.
@johnssleepstories2 күн бұрын
@@robinwells3 you can check out some of my other stories that don't have music (chronicles of narnia come to mind) to hear a difference. Honestly without the music, a lot of audio mistakes and recording attifacts are much more audible. The music is the glue that hides that and pieces everything together. Plus I composed the piece myself 😊 Thank you for listening and for your feedback. ✨

@@johnssleepstories. So good of you to reply. I *will check out others of your stories. Thanks. And of course, I didn’t consider what I am ignorant of-recording difficulties.
