Well, thanks for a sample.jasonfink wrote: ↑May 26th, 2020, 4:38 pm I cut and edited together a small sample for your opinion before I keep going. I've got a pretty good grip on using Audacity.

Now it dawns on me that I should put a special note on how to pronounce Oregon. It really grates on my hears when people say, "Oree-gone. I say, "Ory gone nowhere!" There used to be tee-shirts printed with "ORY-GUN."
But, you've got it right, of course. All of your technical specs are spot on.
The only comments I have about your actual reading is that I find the pace much too rapid, and there seems to be a lack of normal spacing between phrases and sentences, so the flow seems even faster. I think many of us struggle with trying to slow down. I know I still have to reign myself in sometimes.
You develop your own style, which is fine, but I thought this would be worth mentioning for your consideration since you asked for feedback.
Looking forward to listening to the rest of your recording.
