To be honest James reading was boring and monotone. It lacked life, it lacked spirit. It took me a lot of effort to even continue listening to his reading.

What I can learn from Baldwin’s reading is to always make sure that I add life to my reading.

Apr 29

Adrian Rojas-Baez Adrian Rojas-Baez (Apr 29 2017 8:46PM) : Annotation 3 more

His tone of voice very clear and nice, but it gets to the point where if he reads with that tone for the whole story, it’s going to be very difficult for people to keep paying attention to what he is reading.
