Nice review of dedication needed to be an artist

Nice review of dedication needed to be an artist. Also encourages others to be true to themselves as well as to others.

Really, really fast

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

The narrator could have, at least, paused between sentences and put a little more feeling in his voice. He was reading so fast I couldn't even distinguish one idea from another. After awhile his voice droned on and my mind tuned out. Terrible narrator.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I liked the speaking points but but I'm sure I missed some.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Anthony Pica?

Lorelei King is my favorite

None that I know of. I just didn't understand everything because it was read so fast and with no change in tone or pauses between ideas.
