This is so well explained, found this extremely helpful!! Your voice is absolutely fine, half of the people with these comments could never even come close to your intelligence, so they clearly have nothing better to do, than be cruel to a 15 year old boy.

Amazing, confident young man. Very inspiring!

This video is about how to win a competition and nothing about autophagy

[flowermoongoddess]

Why are people so mean. Your voice is just fine everyone typing on a device might feel a bit intimidating by your age and knowledge. More power to you.

Good job, seriously, I'm amazed

[Sarie]

What a fascinating and smart kid. I do believe that it would be a positive improvement to his success to consider changing his voice. It would take practice but sounding like an old woman distracts from what he is saying. He’s such a gift.

[nurysm]

His voice is fine. He’s really smart!!

[on]

It show what he did, attest show the project video

[macoediv]

[madmiky]

They should have waited until his voice broke

[blahbleh]

[maxmwegerano]
