Great concept ā€” the dramatized voices and sound effects make The Yellow Wallpaper feel much more engaging and accessible. Iā€™d just make the opening hook more dramatic and add brief on-screen context for students so they understand why each quote matters.

I agree with Cyan - highlight key quotes and concepts for students. They will likely be using your work to revise for exams or study so making the cocepts clear and concise would be very helpful for them.

The Yellow Wallpaper can work well as a dramatized reading, but I think the hook needs to sell the descent, not just the fact that it is a classic story. The first 20 seconds should make people feel the room closing in. A line about a woman being told rest will cure her while the wallpaper starts to feel alive is more clickable than a neutral "dramatic reading of..." I would keep the visuals restrained: wallpaper texture, dim room, handwriting, maybe slow changes in the frame as her perception gets worse. Too much editing could make it feel like a trailer instead of a tense reading. Also worth deciding who this is for: literature students, horror fans, or audiobook listeners. The title/thumb would be different for each one.
