The music in the background steals your words. I like your video otherwise.

Great and informative video, I can't wait to give this another try as my first attempts failed.
I think it's quite a good choice of music, by the way, low key and not distracting or loud.

Thanks for the comment Adela. Preparing your paper can be one of those things that takes practice to figure out what works for you (and the climate you live in). Good luck with future attempts!
