Just a few phrases need to be corrected.

About 3:33, I hear "take a look" the text reads "take a book".
About 5:34, the word "and" is repeated.
About 7:41 I hear "he wanted to bite it into his mouth whole", the text reads "he wanted to put it into his mouth whole".

Your reading is very clear and understandable. I suggest that in future you try to eliminate the mouth clicks as much as possible as this would improve the quality of the recording. You have a nice voice and I would like to see it come through as best as possible.

Thanks,

M

(I find it appalling that any human being would be called a coal scuttle. I guess that was just a sign of the times.)

Just a couple of comments here.

Please delete the title of the story that occurs at 0:03.

There is a rather dramatic change of voice at 2:52. Do you know what you did differently here? There is no need of rerecording it, I just wanted to draw your attention to it for future recordings.

Thanks,

M

I reduced the background noise as well but please tell me if it still needs some adjusting.
An excellent job with the editing. No additional changes necessary. :D

All three sections are PL OK.

Thanks,

This was nicely read. I have a couple of comments though.

At 0:03 please remove the story title at this location.

At 5:45, could you please add the verses at the end of the story.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
M

Excellent job with the corrections. I couldn't tell that words had been changed. :D

You also did a good job with the noise. Checker dropped the noise level from 43 dB to 24 dB (that seems to be the lowest number).

It is now PL OK.

Thanks,
