oh and criticism and feedback are well and truly appreciated. *I didn't really feel I even got close to what I was trying to, but its where I'm at I guess.*

Great notes - thank you for bringing this to my attention. Interesting when reading this and then listening to you - I would have assumed by your write up that you might be less enthusiastic - but instead what I hear is that you are a perfectionist and super hard on yourself. Believe it or not we ALL express all these emotions but we just all experience them differently. Sounds like you put a ton of pressure on yourself to get it RIGHT. I'd love to break that habit for you. There is NO SUCH THING - I love that you care this much - that makes me so happy - but it's worry some when we can't be satisfied by what we do. Over time this will change for you but I want to ensure you that you have all the right elements. You've got a great voice and great energy - it's enthusiastic etc. LOVED YOUR SLATE - - xfm is good but needs a bit more sarcasm so that's something we can play with over time, but it was still a good read. Second read was okay but it just sounded more like you put on different voices (with some personality change ups - so thank you) vs being yourself in these things. I would want to work more on that with you. I loved the last one as it was closest to you. I would want to direct it a bit but it was good. I can tell that animation is a great place for you because you just want to play. So doing this more MAINSTREAM stuff is probably why it's taking you 4 hours etc. If I had the privledge to work with you privately I could show you how to be satisfied and how to create characters without having to create CARTOONY voices. You're good and love your passion and dedication. Thank you
