Just listened to these (4 chapters) on my run and this is pretty cool, I think you guys are really on to something here.

Meh

Listened to the 1st on when it came out but just caught up on the rest this morning. You guys did great on these. Has a heavy MCU kinda feel in terms of writing/dialogue so if you were going for that you knocked it out of the park. Got two (really one) main criticisms, but probably just need to go back and listen again if I missed it. That being introduction of characters/concepts. I think I remember the whole Carousel scene, but when I listened to episode 2 it was like "oh he got these powers now from that" so that seemed out of nowhere at the time and I just rolled with it. Same with most of the characters (sorry I can't remember their names right now). Chris was at least mentioned in the 1st, but everyone else beyond Suraj was just kinda there and it felt like I was supposed to know/care who they are but it falls short of that mark. Again that could totally just have been me not listening when I thought I was XD. That aside I want to talk acting: Suraj: Sounded like he felt right at home doing this. Something I can't tell may have worked against you is that this kinda RDJ/Tony Stark type character fits your natural tone and delivery perfectly so there wasn't really a need to change, and it managed to sound exactly like yourself but still "in character". Plus your emotional deliveries I'd say were really spot on, nothing felt over/under sold at any given moment. Marketa: No real need to change for or critique the narrator, but ultimately just soundedd like her through and through Suraj's AI: I honestly didn't know who that even was the whole time, so if you tell me that was Rana, or Niki they freaking KILLED IT (effects or not) XD Chris: about the Same as Suraj, but he somehow sounded consistently just a little bit (think he just slowed down his normal speech) and it really suited his character's normal serious straight forwardness, and really delivered on his anger, guilt, and self righteousness. Well done. Navi: Wasn't really around long enough, I primarly only heard and pictured Navi Don't know if you plan to keep going with this or content like this, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and think you should be proud of it even if it may not be as perfect as artists/performers tend to want their creations to be.
