Congratulations on posting to the forum for the first time–great job! Your voice is suitable for these two reads, where the audience is young minds, college students, educational… My main suggestion is to be mindful of your pacing, as some phrases like “determine their success” and “is anything but” go really fast and could be clearer. For the Gorden College read, I think your voice has a genuine quality to it, so I would see if you can make it even more conversational. Again, great job and I hope to hear more of your posts!
