Customer Reviews
Ok - so it’s not just me…
The up and down of sentences that seem to run on and always end in the tone of a question… is rather annoying. Zero emotion. I also agree with 90% of the comments about the host trying to be like Heather Ashley - I would imagine that both being under “Big Mad Media” means they do know each other. Even the way this podcast goes directly into ads with no warning, just music - the same as BMTC.
Content is great, I hope the host can be less like Heather and more like herself. And for the love of God stop using the same monotone voice for every sentence.
BMTC
Feels like she’s trying to copy Heather Ashley from Big Mad TC but it’s a good pod. Just wish she’d try to be more original.
UPDATE - She’s clearly still trying to be HA. Now she talks after the episode about her thoughts on the case just like Heather recently started doing. Just be yourself and do your own thing!!! You are good at what you do and don’t need to rip someone else’s style off.
Practice
Practice the script before recording!! Think about what your saying first and how your saying the sentence!! Can’t listen anymore
