Those who can, do. Those who can't, complain about those who can, and do. I've really enjoyed both the stories and your style of reading. Don't let the naysayers get you down.

[@storiesfromthesky]

Thanks. I know my style isn't for everyone, but I know that the thousands of people who listen, enjoy and comment, like yourself, do like it!

[@bryonpierce]

At first you envy those that are more successful, talented and powerful.
Then you envy those who are just like yourself.
Then finally you begin to envy the victims, the disabled and the less fortunate.

I thought I was disillusioned, exhausted, bitter, misanthropic and angry until I read your comment.
Now I think I'm in love with you. No worries.​ I'm old as the hills, too poor to pay attention, and too set in my ways to share space.
Thanks for your insight. I'm going to steal it and claim it for my own.❤️💋 @@bryonpierce

The last one about "wall watching" is not too far the mark. We all carry our "walls" with us and cannot go a moment without entertainment.

Thank you so much for all these wonderful stories, William. I'm enjoying them very much. As someone with compromised vision, I can't begin to tell you what a difference it makes.

Keep them coming mate! If you ever need a few character voices for any future content, say the word. Examples of my VO can be found on my channel page. Meanwhile… just keep it up. You’re doing great!

Is this AI? Sounds terrible.

[@maxmessner8291]

You do not have a reading voice mister.

[@chrisbrooking5533]

Oh dear .......sounds like a child reading out in class. You need a bit more variety in your tonal/vocal range. Good stories though

I have trouble with the nasal British accent. Just a personal thing with me.
