Nice job Jay. I must admit, I was a big Bob Ross fan. It’s because of him, I had some pieces hanging in some of the municipal buildings in Buffalo. I loved your pace. There was a hint of background noise though. But great job overall.
I think you’re off to a good start. Great tone and diction. There is, however, audible room noise impacting your recording. Please ensure you record in an acoustically treated space. If you already have acoustic treatment, it may not be adequate.
These were great reads with very good sound quality. My only critique would be to vary your pitch and pace a little more to make it a bit more conversational.
