Medium-Fast - good. You could even go a little faster on the tag I think.

Medium - good pacing, you just sound choppy. You tend to take a very pronounced paused between every sentence. You do a good job emphasizing key words/phrases periodically, but since you're choppy it isn't coming across as well as it would if you were smoother overall (because then it would be more apparent when you're slowing down and emphasizing things). Good speed difference between the tag and body of the card.

Medium slower - this was faster than medium. Slow down a little.

Slow - good

In general you should just try to sound more buttery, you sound really mechanical right  now.  I think once you get that down the rest will fall into place. You have a pretty good grasp of the speeds.

Other nats peeps should listen to these and see what I'm talking about.

Some notes on medium slow: After listening to various medium-slow & medium speeches over the past few weeks, I don't think there's really a significantly perceivable difference between the speeds that we're going for at "medium-slow" and "medium," but you generally have a good grasp of how fast "slow (league)" and "medium" are. Really, the only difference between the two is that you can go slightly faster on your card text in "medium," but the tag speed and everything else are the same. The main difference between "medium" and "medium slow" imo is gonna be how much debate jargon we can use vs how much we have to emphasize explanation and more league style debate stuff, and that will depend on your judges. I hope that makes some sense. Let me know if you have questions.
