Due to poor audio in our first upload, I decided to reupload- however, the audio on this one is still not great. Due to a mishap with our mics, it has been very difficult to get 'good audio'. This audio is more clear and 'professional' than the last upload, however sometimes it will glitch, cut out what we say, or make what were saying kind of robot-ish. So sorry! - Angelica
