The sound is amazing, so is your voice, and the very well-spoken narration. Sooo natural. I would want to hear this on my show. Seriously.

I did record and mix audio before for journalistic purposes, but it was never for audio-only pieces, and especially, I never recorded myself. (I used Audacity to edit the sound.)

The piece really succeeds at making the listener feel like they’re both in the room at this awkward event, but also inside your head. Simple, skillful, great listen.

You’re a terrific narrator, and you’ve got a very good sense for layering sounds – this can’t be your first audio piece, right? Great example for us of using actualities – would be interesting to hear about how you mixed this.
