Anthony, Ryan, Kyle, Kara

Anthony
Good use on differentiation of your voice as a narrator against the ambient background sounds. The footsteps and opening of doors pushes the story forward after each narration of an area; indoors to outdoors. A nonchalant memory retracing of your camera aside from the excited voices during the intro and when you, as the narrator, finally found it at the end.

Ryan
Quite layered with a recording of a song in the background along with your own guitar playing alternating in the increase of volumes; the guitar playing goes from slow to loud along with the other recording of the song. Some of the voices are muffled within the middle of the piece. The guitar playing ties the entire piece together. Good use on some reverberations of your voice such as when you counted, "one, two, three, four..." Memories and songs discussion.

Kyle
Multiple sound samplings from video games, songs, tv, and probably your own recording. Intermittent sounds from a harmonica and drum beat sound clips to quieter ambient background sounds of miscellaneous tv/movie dialogue. I think your piece is about trying to get a report done, through the keyboard typing sounds, but are hindered by various procrastinating obstacles like tv, movie, video games, and playing music, or maybe these are the sounds in your head when you are focused on your work (my take on it).

Kara
I thought there were two voices until I talked to you, good use of differentiation on voices. Eerie. The distorted sound effects of the supposed psychiatrist is disturbing. The unnatural "remembering back to the incident" part with the harsh breathing adds more to the anxious atmosphere. Sudden abrupt ending cuts off the fast paced anxious feel that I think maybe would have escalated further.
