The sound effects and music choices brought the story to life and enhanced the listening experience. It had great narration, and made what would be a normal fairy tale story into a fresh new narrative! Everyone’s different voices (is Mr. James Rumplestiltskin?) make the story super exciting. The pacing makes the story an easy listen, and the whole show is very well put together. It sounds amazing and very professional!

Very entertaining piece. The sound effects were appropriate and captivating. The storytelling is very well done.

You did a very great job with your tone of voice. It was very smooth and clear. The sound affects were also very good. Just a all around good job

Your use of sound effects and different voices enhanced the story and made it very entertaining. It was a wonderful spin on the classic story. I love how you took a classic fairy tale and made it unique and different, I felt like I was hearing it for the first time.

I love the use of music and sound effects to keep the story entertaining. I also love how you used other voices for the different characters.
Jalen • Aug 14, 2020 at 3:13 pm
I already knew this story cause I really like fairy tail shows, so I really enjoyed listening to this. I think the background music perfectly fits what’s going on in certain moments of the podcast.

This rendition of a fairy tale I have heard several times in my childhood is quite nostalgic. The voice acting is high quality and the sound effects too. I can tell this took some time.
Hayden • Aug 14, 2020 at 1:17 pm
I loved the sound effects and different voices used to tell the story of Rumpelstiltskin. However the best part about was the narration, it had just the right tone and inflection throughout the entire piece it was really well done. But some of the music beds did not fit the theme or were a little quiet, other then that it was great!
Ava Beckman • Aug 14, 2020 at 1:07 pm
I really like this podcast, getting to hear the stories you grew up with. She spoke clearly the whole time, and the use of the sound effects made it more fun.
Aidan Thomas • Aug 13, 2020 at 12:14 pm
The podcast was very entertaining. The name drew me in right away, as I had never personally heard this story, or it’s lost in my childhood memories perhaps. The sound effects kept me interested, as did the different voices. Overall, it’s a good choice that kept my attention and stimulated my wonder at what other fairy tale stories I missed out on.
Ben • Apr 28, 2020 at 10:15 am
I loved listening to that podcast, and I could tell that you spent a long time picking out the sound effects used in the background because they are perfectly placed and just the right volume. Keep up the good work!

I enjoyed this podcast a lot, your voice was really clear and had great intonation all throughout. The sound effects add a whole new level to the story and really deepen the soundscape and puts the listener into the scene. The voice acting is also really good and fits within the story in both tone and intonation.
Skylar Medlin • Apr 1, 2020 at 9:17 pm
I really enjoyed this podcast! It had great narration, and made what would seem like a boring story into entertaining narrative! With a smooth voice and great sound effects, I could have my niece read along!
Zach Browning • Apr 1, 2020 at 10:42 am
I thought you did a fantastic job of adding a lot of sound effects to the story, without overdoing it. There weren’t too many sounds, every sound had a purpose. The sound effects really helped enhance the story.
Sky • Apr 1, 2020 at 9:23 am
I love your different voices for all the different characters! And the sound effects for even the small things like her necklace and the wheel spinning. The music really fits the tone of the story and the assumed time period. Overall I think you did a great job!
Paige • Mar 31, 2020 at 9:14 pm
The sound effects you used are very creative and really brought this story to life. The sound effects match the story perfectly and the different voices also add a lot to it. Everything was truly great, it kept me interested the entire time.

This is amazing! The kids I babysit loved all the character’s voices, we can’t wait to listen to more!
Austin Rubin • Mar 31, 2020 at 12:57 pm
The sound effects and music choices brought the story to life and enhanced the listening experience. Additionally, Elizabeth’s relaxing tone and upbeat delivery while storytelling along with the dialogue from the characters makes the podcast great for kids to listen to. The progression of the story is excellent and kept my attention throughout its course. Overall, this is an excellent podcast!
Niranjan Swaminathan • Mar 31, 2020 at 11:51 am
I really liked how you used different voices. It really added to the story. The sound effects were also great, especially the doors closing and opening. The way you delivered the story was also great. Great tone! Good job!
Caroline • Mar 30, 2020 at 9:45 am
I was first drawn to this podcast out of pure curiosity, and I was not let down. The editing in this was excellent and it added to the overall fantastic reading of a child’s fairy tale. Both the sound effects, pauses, and new voices that showed that it wasn’t the narrator anymore made me as a listener want to continue to listen. It really drew me in even for something that I didn’t expect to enjoy so much, I did. I would definitely listen again.
