Others may perform this kind of material with more technical aplomb but none - to my ear anyway - inject the zeal and sheer glee that I imagine the writer had in mind when anticipating how his work would be communicated to future audiences ...
@@thrillingsuspensefantasy Haha I'm talking about backing tracks, music, effects etc - all unnecessary when the material is delivered with the conviction and commitment you bring!
@@mediamogul6643 and here I thought we had impugned my handling of Mr. Smith's verbosity or in some manner missed a suggestion of cadence! But no, it is true even in regard to sheer verbal technique, that I am not the equal of Horror Babble (Ian Thompson, if I recall correctly?)--I have great respect for craft and the time that developed craft demands. Even over the course of this last round of recordings (since September) I have felt my craft develop. It would be foolish to think that it will not continue to do so! I appreciate the compliments, and only wished to rib you a little bit.
Hope you do more of these. Your voice adds a level of gravitas I wouldn't have expected for this type of story
Working my way back around, but the kinds words are appreciated!

More technical aplomb, says MediaMogul, BAH! I retort ;P
