Welcome to LibriVox sacredsounds

Good first reading, your file does have a few 'plosives" - breath hitting the mic on certain sounds, the 'b', 'p' in particular. The best way to prevent this is to keep your mic at an angle to your mouth so there is no direct breath into the mic.

Thank you, I thought that too so I did a re-recording where I had the mic positioned to the side of my mouth at the suggestion of someone who listened to it in my 1 minute test post but still had some issues with plosives and I wasn't as happy with the recording for various reasons including background sound and reading style. I am going to get me a wind cover or pop filter when I can though.
