Here's my first attempt on 18. I'm having trouble dialing this one in from an amplification standpoint. I keep getting "passed with warnings." I've tried increasing and decreasing the amplification and I continue to get the same message. Can you review and tell me whether I"m too loud or not loud enough?

Hi Ben
Text is correct and well read
The recording is too loud at 95.8 d. Our preferred range is 87-91 db.
Oddly you did not have this problem on your first recording which was within range. Were you speaking closer to the mic or more loudly this time.
Try de-amplifying by 5 db. Then re-export and re-upload using same filename.
This may produce some "clipping" sounds.
Sorry I cannot be more help but I am not a tech expert and my hearing is not as good as other peoples.
Also please reduce opening silence to between 0.5 and 1 second.
