Wow is this guy’s scansion and declamation bad! Every uttered syllable has equal volume, equal weight, a metered pace set to a metronome!!! Bad bad bad. My ears are bleeding. At least his diction is fine. And his body language is fine too. He’s obviously got tones of experience. Why is he so spectacularly bad??
