George Washington: Farewell Address

By: George Washington

Narrated by: Deaver Brown

The Farewell Address is perhaps the most important document in American history, providing a vision for the future of America and her leaders. The background and history of it are as important as listening to the complete address itself.

adress is good, reading... ?

the Magnificent Washington in his farewell address was read by what sounded like a cab driver in a small apartment possibly on the toilet. I think once he paused mid-sentence to take a drink of beer. other times pausing perhaps to shift himself and you can hear a squeaky chair. Other than that Washington's address is great.

The work is excellent. The narration is awful.

I'm not sure how they selected the narrator - but they clearly chose the wrong person. Ruined an excellent piece of work.

Poor audio quality, narration. Little or no editing.

While this is complete and convenient, it’s a terrible production. The recording sounds like a random man with a decent voice, sitting in his home office, reading the text for the first time, with only one take. I can hear him clicking his mouse from page to page as he reads as well as other background noise. The unprofessional nature of this recording is surprising on a platform like Audible.

Poor sound quality and reading

This great document deserves serious and superior voice acting, directing, sound quality and reading.
