The intro is unchanged, as far as I can tell. Are you sure it uploaded?
I'm still not quite sure what you mean about the maiden aunt. Everything sounded great to me, including the first sentence. Personally, I think you are being your own worst critic here. But if you do change anything else, just let me know which parts I need to spot PL, or if I should listen to the whole thing again.

Okay, NOW. (I plead temporary insanity -- youngest daughter is getting married on Saturday and I'm officiating. Also running errands.

Yay!
It'll probably be another day or two before I'm able to start on these, but I'm looking forward to it!

I decided to start with number 4, The Red Etin.
There is a long pause (about 3 or 4 seconds) at 2:11. Anything more than 1.5 seconds or so feels very long to a listener, so I would cut this down.
Here and there in the recording, I'm hearing a bit of noise in the background, like a rustling maybe. Some examples are at 4:50, 5:15, 7:56, and 9:11. I don't think this needs to be re-recorded, but I point it out as something you may want to watch for.
At 19:40, there is a sudden cutting out, then suddenly the sound seems to cut back in. There's some sort of little electronic-sounding squeak right there, too. I'm not sure if this was an uploading error, or what, but you may want to double check what's going on in that spot.

Oh, I forgot to mention... I love the Scottish voice you're taking on for the characters! Very well done!
Thanks. I've been taking an Online class. Sometimes it lapses into Irish, but I'm trying.
I also listen to a LOT of Davida Porter (Outlander.) She's great.

I'll be sure to get at least a few of these done Monday or (probably) Tuesday, when I get back from my trip.
