Hi All:
I'm 23 years old and have suffered with a severe speech impediment all my life along with low confidence. I finally want to face this speech problem and develop a confident voice by reading aloud every night. I barely speak in social situations and usually lock up/becomeafraid that I can't get a word out if I try, so I hope by practicing every night that I can workout these speech muscles and mental connections and as a result become more fluid, loose and confident in speech.
I took a short record recording tonight(my first night) and I was hoping anyone could give me some constructive criticism on what they notice that needs to be improved on. This is where i'm at right now, and obviously I know its completely laughable/horrible but I am hoping I could get some ears that aren't my own to give a listen and let me know what they notice that's a problem (again i acknowledge there's lots haha) that way I can start on this journey with ideas to work on.
I am extremely appreciative of anyone who leaves some constructive criticism on here (please be painfully honest, I need to know what specifically to work on and it helps a lot to have other ears)
