I really like the concept. I think it makes a difference. My issue is that it’s very cut up. You can tell where the audio is spliced. It seems like full sentences are cut up in a lot of places and I can’t help but wonder what the full conversation really was. Maybe it’s not splicing but the audio itself because it’s hard to hear him. I had to turn the volume up all the way to hear him and then her audio was really loud. Please take this as constructive criticism because the concept is fantastic.
