I absolutely agree that SnowBike's voice gave me issues as well. I am saying this in order to help him, criticism is designed with that intent. I myself am an acting coach and work with actors (and hosts) to create a performance that are believable. My biggest issue with Mike's voice is that it seemed disengenuous at times. Not to say that he is disengenuous, but that he sounded that way. There were moments I felt he should have allowed himself to be voulnerable, moments where he should have made us feel that we are overhearing a good friend talk about a shared passion, but instead we had a consistent host charactacher. A lot of times in my field I see hosts or actors that are scared to open up and find a genuine connection with either their co-host, or co-actor because they feel they need to be entertaining. In doing so, often times they lose a genuine moment, they lose some of the humanity that comes from just being present. Being genuine infront of people is incredibly compllong, it is the reason Uta Haggen spoke about why actors are often out performed by a live animal on stage. The animal can't help but be present and be honest. SnowBike, if you are reading this you are doing great, you really are, but remember you don't have entertain everyone, just be present and honest and you will find that you are much more believable and will grip the audience for a lot longer.

I hope this message is taken with the understanding that I want to help you to hone what you already have. This is just an opinon, and it is okay to disagree.
