Nice. My husband told me our local Yemenite lainer doesn't sound like this; his is more of a chant. But someone who visits our synagogue (Cong. Etz Ahaim in Highland Park, NJ) lains in a similar fashion.

Breishit happens to be my son's bar-mitzvah parsha. He's laining Sephardi, a nusach that has its origins in Iraq. My husband joked with him he should do each aliyah in a different way, one Ashkenazi, one Sephardi, one Yemenite...poor kid. The Iraqi Sephardi is actually easier than Ashkenazi laining. (We are Ashkenazi but go to a Sephardi shul).

This is very close to the Litvish accent, as far as the chaylem and kometz are pronounced. I wonder why?
