Review of Ocean Elegy

Lot of potential for this audio postcard.

*Actual essay is only 5 minutes, the remaining 2 includes Elvis and ocean ambience.

High marks to narrator Pam Mandel for her perfect pitch read. Good cadence, inflection and emotion. Pacing a tad fast at times.

Audio postcards like these are fun to listen to especially when they include ambient sound.

However,it does sound odd to hear ocean amb behind Mandel's studio and echoey read. She needs a better studio to track.

And essay is a tad long.
