11. Was the story interesting to read?

Yes and i thought they meant they were talking about a singing voice.

It was weird and again i thought i was going to here a singing voice, but i was way more impressed with the voice that i heard and it was really interesting.

Not really.
15. Did the writer try to come up with a way for you to hear the voice, i.e. did he try to describe the voice or give you a way to "hear" the voice without really hearing it?
i did not pay attention to that but more to the reading and if i had not heard the voice i would i have been thinking he had a great singing voice.
16. How did the writer do that?
Honestly i sure he did something of the sort on the lines of "welcome to the radio station 98.7 and we will be right back with the newest of of songs the top ten list, toon in later of the winner of these two magnificent tickets see the comedians of New York."
