Haha I actually agree with you on this, luckily it was only 5 minutes of 45. I stand behind the analysis but you’re right, it’s almost as much about delivery as the content.
Part of the issue was it took me literal hours to get and edit the interviews because I was having problems with the mic, so I was trying to get the opener all in one take and be done with it. I actually had mainly bullet points, but they were probably too detailed. It does sound better when you go off the top and like you said, you can edit it later if needed.
“Think of the monologue as a conversation with the listener.”
I like this. Gonna keep that in mind for next time. Appreciate the feedback
