Welcome Kent

All your technical settings are correct, so well done. There are however audible plosive sounds on all the P's where your breath hits your mic.

Reposition your mic so that it is off-center about 45 degrees. Add a pop filter or foam wind screen if necessary.

You can find advice on improving issues like plosives in the Librivox wiki:

Please make a new test recording and post it in a reply to this message. I will come back and review it for you.

Thanks for feedback. Is this better? I repositioned the microphone as suggested. I was already using a foam cover but could get a pop filter if necessary.

No, that's good.

You are good to go.

Hapy narrating!
