I enjoyed listening to you Max...
I take the sibilances to reflect the wind sighing. Your very slight voice variations, along with your chosen words, create a bit of a disturbed and hypnotic state.

In that case - use it! Vary the pitch, tone etc ... make it a performance - trust me, I do know what I'm talking about here. :)

Chris I do know what you mean but also it's deliberate. The poem's more about the softer sibilances than 'z's.

Beautiful voice Max, just watch the sibilance on certain words ending in s ... sighs, exercise ... unless the sibilance is deliberate (and if it is - use it - strengthen it - and vary it, to add interest) try saying sighz, exercize etc instead - it sounds better in performance - play with it a bit, you should be able to hear what I mean. Well done though.

Really beautifully read, and seeing your elfin face reading gave it a delicate haunting quality.
