I found that wasn't as effective without music, but maybe next time I'll go for something more minimal and less intrusive. And yup, totally agree on the audio levels - that's something I definitely should have fixed. It's funny you mention that - it was recorded in a closet (or at least in a room about 2m square)... probably a bad decision on my part.Thanks again for your input - next time I'll definitely be putting a little more thought into the audio, it's definitely the weakest part of the animation Hey Israfella, thanks for the tips!

Nice catch!) Though I wrote the script, so the overuse of "actually" is probably my doing :/ She’s an aussie (think she lived in NZ for a bit though? Nice catch!)

That accent sounds more NZ than Aussie. Or do the Aussies overuse 'actually' just as much? I wonder where the narrator is from? That accent sounds more NZ than Aussie.

Do they think we're all so attention deficit that we can't sit through a 3 minute video without electro music blaring in the background? The music should be at a much lower volume than the narration. In this video, the narration struggles to rise out of the music. In this particular video, I think no music would work best. The voice seems to have an annoying echo. I don't mind the accent, but it sounds like it was recorded in a closet. This is an important message, it should be cleaned up a bit. The message is great, but the music is distracting.
