She has a voice that could break glass.
It's a very strong Southern English accent: - from the East End of London I think, although perhaps one of the forum's English members from that side of the river Humber will correct me on this. Jacqueline's reading is not pleasant to listen to and it really should have been obvious to her that she needed a bit more practice before doing so and putting the results up online. As well as an editor, she is badly in need of an agent to handle her publicity (well, as an exercise in damage limitation, really).
I taught ESL classes for several years, so am familiar with most of the mistakes made by someone who is in the process of learning English. Her errors strike me as being merely clumsy usage; they're far more similar to Dan Brown's errors, lazy uses of syntax and gross ambiguities.
