one of the best readings that I've ever heard! Kudos!

This is indeed one of the best readings (and, you know, of the worst quality :D) that I've ever heard! Your pronunciation and intonation were almost impecable to me (!), and let's face it, it was a long article :D What makes it more impressive is that it sounded like you recorded it without any rehearsal or any audio reference, whereas the majority of us usually record our readings after listening to the audio and practicing (in my case, many times!). Really well done.

To honor the spirit of "to look for a bone in an egg", or to look for a flaw where there is really none, I found the following words that (forgive me) could be imporved (I don't know if it's because of the less-than-satisfactory quality of the recording):

1. trace (the vowel "ei" sounded like somewhere between "ei" and "æ")

2. this (it sounded like "ə", rather than "i")

3. with and something ("ð" sounded like "s" to me)

4. world (it sounded like "word" to me)

If possible, could you tell me how you pronounce "dl" or "tl" in words "middle" and "hospital" so well? I'm having trouble with this type of words that have "d" or "t" and "l" sounds together at the end of a word (other examples, battle, medal...), and you don't have any problem with it. Many thanks in advance!

Again, very well done!!! I hope to hear more of your recordings soon.
