Section 16 PL OK!

Here is section 5. This is my first time as a reader, so any feedback is great. I'm looking forward to improving, but I'm not unhappy how this went for my first time

Thanks! I should be able to listen today. In future, please also post the run time of the file (including end silence, in mm:ss).

It went well! A couple minor, technical things:

(1) At the end there should be only 5 seconds of silence. Yours has a few more, plus a missed edit at the very end. Just chop off all but 5 seconds at the end, and it'll be good.

(2) I would suggest some noise reduction to take care of the background white noise. Here are a couple resources:

My settings are as follows:
Noise reduction: 10-16 (I suggest about 12 for you)
Sensitivity: [default]
Frequency Smoothing: [default]
