Let me know if I need to change anything! :)
Thanks Vianne.

Just one technical issues. The ending silence is 10 seconds, can you shorten it to about 5 seconds and resubmit?

All else is good.

James
Yep! Here's the updated link:

Hi Fox,
This is the link to Earthmen Bearing Gifts instead of Two Timer. Please post the link to Two Timer.
Cheers,

Thanks Michelle, it is PL ok, good first recording.

I think you pasted in your "Recording by,,," at the end of the recording and did not apply noise reduction to those last few seconds (or recorded it after you had applied noise reduction to the rest)

You don't need to address on this recording, it barely noticeable, just something to keep in mind for next time.

Thank you,

One error to correct

3:15 "Like this damned planet of a star he'd never heard of until they'd landed him there." Is repeated twice with "mistake" between them.

Also you may want to consider adjusting some of your pause timing. The space between the end of the first story and reading the title of the second is much shorter then some of the pauses between sentences in the stories themselves. This is a reading style point, so your choice on if you want to adjust it or not.

I've fixed the issues with the recording :)

New run time is 4 minutes 46 seconds.

Yes, I pasted that. I realized I had said "reading by" instead of "recording by", and kind of added that in a hurry. Thanks for letting me know that it's noticeable. I'm learning :D
