Review of Accepting Me
The production of this piece is spectacular. The music and transitions are almost seamless and also paints a picture of what kind of guy the narrator is. I hear/see someone fun, up-beat, with a big heart solely from the music. Then come the words......he is fearless with his hinesty and self-assurance comes through strongly. I like the organization of the piece. He uses several different voices to describe the reactions received before and after coming out. This piece could be inspiring to many other teens facing the same issues of sexuality. It feels very light to me, very bright and optimistic.
The length is perfect and the varying music, voices and conversation topics are at a length that keeps a listener engaged. well done!
