Her sentences sound forced to me as well. Specially the way she says "WYSIWYG".

Yeah, that's true. We clearly told her to speak it as "wee-zee-wig" (fearing otherwise she would simply speak each letter) but she stumbled on the word (I guess). I gather from comments here that we probably need to redo the audio.
Perhaps you could test out different voices, and test which ones people skip over vs which ones people watch all the way through? Doesn't youtube offer some stats on that?
"whizzy wig"?
