Emmanuel:
You sound much more interested in what I'm saying than you should. Your conversation pace is well-paced; faster than mine generally, which lends to your sounding more energetic than I do. Your voice has a lot of inflection in it, WHICH IS GOOD. It makes me want to continue listening to you because it sounds like you're actually talking to me (...which you are, but you get the point). Good volume, especially when you are yelling above the Chipotle rabble.
Tim:
I'm used to your oral advocacy sounding very conversational, so you sound like how I'm used to you sounding. You are excited, bordering on school girl, at the beginning when you are making fun of Rhi (and admitting to watching Twilight). Good volume, well-paced, extremely emotive. You cover serious, jest, and sarcasm in quick succession (I suppose this plays to tone and somewhat to pitch). I suppose your pitch range isn't vast, but I don't think that's necessary.
Rhi:
You sound much more cheerful than I'm used to hearing you in oral advocacy settings. The two of you sound like you're hosting a radio show or something, which means you're both clear and entertaining to listen to. Your pacing and pitch is more controlled than Tim and you sound more formal than he. You emote with inflection, as well as volume variation. Good energy all around.
Sara O'Hara:
You do the end-of-the-sentence-curl thing that we talked about in class (I'm pretty sure we all do but I happened to be thinking about it when I listened to yours). Your pace is slow, but easy to follow. You emote more than I'm used to hearing, but you don't seem particularly excited to be talking about school.
Sara Ingram:
The conversation seems a bit tense, but that might be because I now know the background to it. You seem tired and are quieter than Ryan. There are times when your pacing is lilting; it seems that when you're working through a sentence that you hadn't thought of beforehand, you rush through a couple of words, pause, then finish the sentence. Most other times you go on quite steadily. You sounded like you were going through a motion, rather than really conversing (which I suppose you were).
Anne Laure:
I couldn't hear you as well as I could your friend. You were more neutral-sounding than I expected considering the exciting gossip you were discussing. I expected more outrage, but you were very point-of-fact and analytical. You inflected quite energetically when your friend told you you were finished talking and you said "oh very good!"
Jeremy:
You sounded very convincing about liking the nail polish that your girlfriend got. Well done. You have also always been pretty conversational for oral advocacy. You are clear, well-paced, and inflect nicely. I enjoyed how nonchalant you were about recording the conversation without her knowing.
Jenn Goodwillie:
I was very entertained by the beginning of the conversation. ("what...are you...cooking it in?" etc.) [on a side note, as I’m listening through these, I’m increasingly entertained how you can almost hear many of us frantically searching for something to say to fill in the space. Which is sort of not really a conversation anymore.] Back to you. Your pitch tends to pretty much stay the same, even when you ask questions. You get somewhat excited when you are talking about what to put the tofu in. You aren't not energetic, but I don't sense much emotion. You sound tired. (maybe you're bored talking about tofu).
Lauren:
I had to turn my speakers down for you. You are very clear and easy to listen to. You have high energy, sort of in a "I'm talking to someone that I need to sound happy at" way. Maybe I'm projecting, since I always try to sound more chipper when speaking to relatives. Pace, tone, inflection are good all around.
Linda:
You sound exasperated and teacherly particularly at the beginning. Your pacing is controlled and you are very clear. You sound quite interested in the conversation on body parts. You're right; your voice does curl when you're lying.
