The reading itself is just fine. You have a pleasant voice. There are just a few technical things that need to be addressed.
- 00:00 The volume of this track is 82.65dB. LV requires the overall volume for the track (measured by ReplayGain - you can try this tool if you want to check the volume) to be between 86-92dB (with 89dB being the ideal). The easiest way to fix this automatically is to use the 'Loudness Normalization' effect (set to -19LUFS) in recent versions of Audacity before exporting the track as an MP3. Another way to fix it would be to use the Amplify effect set to 6dB. Since the volume is so low, amplifying it sufficiently would increase the background noise a lot. Did you accidentally have the microphone slider lower than intended or were you further from the microphone than you should be?
- 00:01 Max 1 second of silence at the start of the track please!
- 42:34 We need 5 exactly seconds of silence at the end of the track (as close as you can make it).

Hope this is better? Unsure if the sound is unclean, though.
