    So well-read and written, I thoroughly enjoyed that!
    …I don’t have any problem with hear a man read a woman’s part, or vise versa; it’s all in the delivery, and Yours was excellent.
    Thank-You so much for this!!

    Good story, but spoiled by the staccato tones of the reader, nothing flows and the breaks are in the wrong places.😞

    Hello, I don't normally like a story told by one narrator without character accents but your narration was hypnotic and gripping from beginning to end. A most enjoyable and intriguing story. Thank you. Xxx

      Ha, I really can’t do character accents….I only do the stories I like but can’t source….….I also have a podcast called ‘the historical crimes and criminals podcast’ if you want lots more interesting stories read by me

    This is possibly the Most DEPRESSING voice I have ever heard. Couldn't take it. Hope I find the story somewhere else with a narrator who sounds alive.😮

    Very nicely read - calm, good pacing, and easy to listen to. Loved the story. I hope you’ve read other books. I subscribed. I love the lilt of your accent - English is more staccato.
    I’d love to hear you read the short stories of James Joyce :) 🌷🌱

    Sorry, this narrator didn't do it for me because there was no change, no emotion in his voice. Us Scots have natural reflections in our voices and this is just a drone on and on. Did this young man not read the book beforehand to find where to lift and lower his voice? Sounds like Inspector Blandey was reading this book, sorry. A proud central region Scot.

    Someone else mentioned the way your vocal pitch goes up at the end of almost every sentence, making it sound like a question. Some Americans do the same. So is it just you or do all the Scots where you are from speak that way? It's a bit wearing after a while. I have to say that my phone rang about 15 minutes into this story and I'm not sure if I want to continue. I don't mind a good rich Scottish brogue but the pitch thing gets annoying after a while. If you are hoping to make some money from this, perhaps a good vocal coach could be helpful. Bye.

    The narrator's voice? ending every several words in an uptone? as though asking a question? It's very irritating?

  • @pamedwards352
    @pamedwards352 Год назад +12

    Terrible reading, a single cadence throughout, with every sentence ending in a lift, as if an inquiry.

    • @janestill2588
      @janestill2588 Год назад +2

      It’s a Scottish accent. I don’t like the American accent.

    • @2msvalkyrie529
      @2msvalkyrie529 3 месяца назад

      Which American accent do you not like !? Texan , New York , Virginia
      Louisiana...? Typical arrogant
