Absolutely, I hope your throat is feeling okay! I would recommend practicing projection more. There were points where your voice softened noticeably, which made it sightly difficult to understand you. Your pacing was good, but be careful not to suddenly speed up with "weird rare race," whenever you did, it sounded like one jumbled word. Take your time! More energy is always welcome. A good read overall, keep up the good work, you're on the right track still!
