Subject is riveting, the narrator’s voice not so much

“I heard about this situation in Rutherford county and wanted to listen to this podcast to do a deeper dive into the subject. I found this storyline and the details to be an excellent although heartbreaking picture of what happened to these kids.
The only negative is the narrator had a strange way of talking. She spoke like high school girls that drag out their words and almost have a Valley girl tone when they are trying to be cool. It’s hard to describe. She does a weird drag at the end of her sentences. It’s so distracting. At times, I would be listening and suddenly would be yanked out of the story because of the odd way the narrator was talking.
I don’t know if this is her public speaking voice that she puts on for speaking engagements. Sometimes I heard a normal tone, but it was rare.
I think the podcast material itself is excellent and I appreciate the work that went into it.
However, I would highly suggest the narrator work with a coach before she records another podcast.”

“I want to hear this story but the narrator’s voice is too nasally and condescending.”

“You will note a review indicating narrration is an issue. If you don’t want to hear female journalists report their stories in their own words…. The I guess don’t listen. Big eye roll. These comments about narration reek of sexism. Her narration and content is great.”
