Your recording was very well read. You have a good reading voice and style. :)

Please delete over 2 seconds of silence at start so that it is between 0.5 and 1.0 seconds long.

As a suggestion only, I would recommend running Noise Reduction on the file as there is a high level of background noise throughout. The level of background noise is within acceptable parameters so you are by no means obligates to do this.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Thank you for the feedback. :)

I've deleted the silence at the start, as requested.

I did do some light noise reduction, but I've done some extra moderate reduction which has hopefully improved the background noise.

Here is the amended version:

Have at it. There is some information on the first page here about being a PL. I follow along with the text and only flag sections where the wrong word changes the meaning of what is being said as well as looking for noise, volume, etc.

Thanks,

You did a great job with the recording. One queen's name needs to be corrected.
At 8:39, the text reads "Queens Aah-hotep and Nefertari", you have the more famous queen listed in your recording "Nefertiti".

Thanks,
M
