I was experimenting with my delivery for this read, so my delivery will be a bit inconsistent throughout. My delivery was also quiet between about 24:57 to 40:11 if you'd like to skip that part.

[@michaelkaplan946]

been listening to a ton of your dfw content. you've got an incredible voice for his work. thanks for making these

[@Pallettown]

Thank you!

[@gp2860]

I don’t think it’s all that fast. It’s a solid cadence, of course there could be some inflection or emphasis in rare, contextually appropriate moments. Love it

[@Pallettown]

Thank you

[@Spudcore]

Point of pedantry: "Croat" rhymes with "throw at", rather than "goat". Decent reading overall, although I would say that not every comma necessarily indicates a pause.

I hanks so much for doing these, dude. U have venmo?

[@Pallettown]

My pleasure. I have more coming soon! Unfortunately we don't have venmo here in Canada.

Some advice: 1. Don’t read so fast!! Why the hurry? Give the beauty of the writing some room to breathe- and give the listener time to savour the what they are hearing. You have a good voice but the breakneck pace kills the experience for your audience 2. Research pronunciations: errors you made include Croat/Croatian, lugubrious, several names (Wilander)

Use speed 0.75 lol

[@KatJ3st]

Damn! Please slow down and enjoy his words. It's not a race dude, it's a journey.

[@NomadT]

i think his reading speed is fine

[@Spudcore]

Given the subject, a brisk reading pace seems appropriate to me.
