Oh wow. This is going to be such a cool week. I really, really like your recording of 'November' (and am very jealous of your microphone). Those last three lines-- I'm struck by the quick quietness of 'ever with me', and how you said it the same way with the same inflection both times, which makes 'Child' stand out so. I like how you read unrushed, how the pace is steady. Your accent (you said you're Swedish?) is not one I've encountered before, but I love how it sounds over the vowels and the w's, like, I dunno, this is silly, but like the texture of warm, fine knitted wool.
Your ghost where your face was
Was this the zombie-inspiring line?

Heh. Anyway, it occurs to me that some of the people on the comm might not be as familiar with giving feedback for how someone reads (performs? recites? says? speaks? is there an all-around verb that's usually used to describe how someone reads a piece of poetry?) a piece of text; do you have links you'd recommend? I dug out two posts from [community profile] pod_aware which include Podfic Feedback Toolbox: 5 ways to give great podfic feedback and was planning on including that in the promo post, but other than that I'm a bit at sea.
