I can't understand some of what you're saying, I think you're emoting too much which uses up all of the air in your lungs. Not saying go monotone, but maybe toned down a bit so you can enunciate more clearly if possible. It's important for the listener to be able to understand pretty much every word, or the listener will tend to get lost trying to figure out what was said.

Speed is good though. :)
Maybe I'll try pausing between sentences to catch my breath. I should move away from the mic to breathe, like the Chocolate Rain guy. I also have Audacity, which will allow me to edit the audio.

Okey dokey, thanks for the feedback, later I'll record your entire post tomorrow!

Yes, and you can remove the pauses in Audacity (or shorten them).

Maybe just do part of it first so we can give feedback and make sure everybody can understand it. :)

It started out better, but then the enunciation slipped. Enunciation needs to be consistently clearer; it takes a lot of focus. There are a few mumbled points, like "philosophically true" where I can't make out the words. Also later on, "and any advocacy or popularization" and " will inevitably turn people away from veganism (like positions advocating violence do, or positions advocating extremes of personal purity:"
I couldn't really understand any of that, I had to look up the post. At the end I could only make out "whether or not they are philosophically valid" on.

In terms of pronunciation, I think it's just "antinatalism" and a few other words. Mainly the enunciation is the issue.

Hey brimstone, I've been a bit occupied lately, and I've been experiencing frequent computer crashes, so I may have to delay that audio by a little. I'll have it as soon as I can, I promise!

Hey brim, I have a 5 day weekend, and I finished taking all of my tests and essays (all of which I passed), so I think I'll have time to do some video conversions!

Nice! Please make sure to work on enunciation and pronunciation.

Alright, I'll try my best.
Also, I want to get started on that video about that guy who advocated Greenpeace:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4BrfQ29MNc
I recommend you watch it if you want a good laugh, because I sure know I did. This guy also believes in chemtrails, so y'know, he (or she, since he I think is a transgender, judging by his awful, awful deviantart) can blow me.

I'm gonna rework the script for that, because, while it isn't bad, I need to rephrase some of my arguments and cut out unessesary details. I'll run uit by my friends and you guys to judge to see what I can fix.

This guy also refuted one of Libertarian Socialist Rants' videos, so I guess it's as you say, a broken clock is right twice a day.

Red, in addition to the brimstone's suggestion to work on enunciation and pronunciation, it might be better if you slowed down your speech. I find it difficult to keep up, but that just may be me!
