Phonological differences during the reading: 
Assimilation: the process by which phonemes take on the phonetic character of neighboring sounds due to coarticulation; refers to articulatory changes that result in the production of an allophone, or of a completely different phoneme. 
Metathesis: transposition of a sound in a word (personal speaking style, dialectical variation)
 Prism.. Pri/i/sm 
 Division.. d/i/vision…When he said “division” he said it like   
        "deevision" because John tends to articulate his vowels    
         differently
         Into.. Intwaa
Elision:  the omission of a phoneme from a word as a result of a historical change, or from coarticulation associated with connected speech.
          Second time he says “beyond” he leaves out the /d/ and   
          pronounces it as “beyown”
          This is also connected speech. When he starts talking   
          faster he tends to alter the words phoneme identitiy and it 
          becomes more difficult to understand him. 
Epenthesis: additional phonemes inserted into words in connected speech 
 He says “man a” “this a” 
 This is also connected speech. When he starts talking faster  
        he tends to alter the words phoneme identity
Metathesis: transposition of a sound in a word (personal speaking style, dialectical variation)
 Beyond.. Beyowned
He said the same word before, however it was an elision. Before, he was talking faster. Now that he slowed down and seems to be concentrating on his words more, he pronounced it more clearly and successfully. 

Interview Analysis: For example, when he is supposed to be saying /I/ (ex: win) he uses /i/ (ex: key) instead
He seems to favor the tense /i/, which is a high tongue height, a front tongue advancement, and is unrounded.
