Section 16
The volume is too low. It comes in at 75dB. We look for 89dB (but accept 86-92). Please amplify your file by about 14dB

Please add .5-1 second at the beginning of the recording.
~0.02 long pause. You have a pause of 3 seconds. Please cut this to less than 2 seconds (it may not seem much, but for listeners, it is
)
~13:49 stumble. Please cut this out using your scissor tool.
~22:30 stumble 'which were then'
~27:53 long pause
Please cut the end silence to 5 seconds
The file would benefit from noise cleaning

I noticed there were a lot of 'mouth clicks'. There is no need to fix these, but in future, you may want to try and avoid them. There are a few tips which may help:
a) sip tea... I have no idea why tea rather than anything else, but I have been told such is the case
If you're not a tea-drinker, have a glass of water handy to keep your mouth moist.
b) brush your teeth before recording
c) chapstick
You also have sharp intakes of breath before most sentences. (I do that, too... maybe everyone does
). When editing, it is easy to cut or reduce these. You can see where they are in the waveform on the file and will soon get to recognize them. You can reduce them in the recording process by moving your mic slightly to the side or above your mouth so you aren't breathing directly on to it.
Please make these corrections and re-upload using the same file name. Be sure to post here when you have done that.
