Yes, beautifully done. I wonder if this might be the beginning of a newly presidential Palin. The tone of her voice throughout was in a lower register than we are used to hearing. I wonder if she’s also got that vocal coaching some people here have been calling for.
The tone was somber and as you say, resolute. She wasn’t speaking to fire up a crowd, or make herself heard over loud cheering. Don’t know if a voice coach has been consulted, but from what I’ve seen on the TLC show; in more quiet settings, that’s a pretty normal speech pattern.
My only complaint on the video, is minor, and of a technical nature. We know Todd is her behind the scenes engineer and cameraman, but he needs to place the lights so they don’t reflect off her glasses. I found it distracting.
