Thanks for your feedback. I value these comments over those who slam the product/website without any suggestions.

1) I'm from Singapore and English is my first language. 2) Good point. 3) I've actually been experimenting with mics, but I'll definitely re-record once I find the right one. 4) I hired a designer from dribbble to help me out. MS Paint Art, seriously?

Again, thanks for your suggestions.

I once heard a very simple trick on a Mixergy interview. Record yourself under a blanket. The interviewee who was a professional audio/video consultant explained that with a simple iPhone and by being under a blanket to kill surrounding sounds you can almost get a studio quality recording.

I think the gp might mean that he doesn't care for the spray of pixels around your logo -- the stuff highlighted in the arrows in my image. To be honest, it isn't to my taste either.

That's funny, I noticed these stray pixels too, but I assumed they were put there on purpose, to make give lettering a 'dusty' appearance.

As they are placed exactly where a shadow would fall I think they are deliberate. I actually really like the design of the site.
