I think I would get better results in future recordings if I were to bump down my microphone volume a bit even if I end up having to amplify, but open to any other constructive feedback.

Section 11 PL OK!

One note on pronunciation for future readings: "corps" when referring to a body of soldiers, has a silent P and S (if singular). So it' would be more like "core" rather than "corpse". :)
