- Sound quality
Dr. Stugill voice soft; the advertising horribly too loud. Please adjust to even out the sound quality. Thanks.

So useful and pertinent! Yes, she talks too fast, but that is easily solved by going to Settings and setting playback speed at .75. Makes all the difference!

I frequently “rewind” because your voice does not keep me with you. Monotone. Lack of enunciation. Too fast, like trying to keep us with you with speed, instead of the gravity of what you say. Dr. Sturgill: I will repost a 5 star review if you can improve your delivery! To be clear: your content is 5 stars+ ! The one star is just to get your attention. Please have a qualified voice coach session; it’ll make all the difference. Thanks!
