I would love feedback, if you can give it. If there's any call for it, I can do a decent southern accent. It didn't seem to fit with The Velveteen Rabbit.

There is bunch of noise at the beginning, before you start speaking. There is also the presence of an echo throughout. Rubbing sound after "[...] and fell to the ground". Background noise after "[...] and out of it there stepped a fairy". For the purpose of this project, you would also remove your heavy breaths. Mouse clicks at the end. If you ever hope to do this professionally, you will need to learn how to edit your work. The echo could be cause by the space in which you are recording. If that is the case, recording in your walk in closet will resolve it because of all of the clothes. The rubbing and background noise can easily be removed using audio editing software. I suggest you try standing while recording. I think that will help w/the heavy breathing.

Thanks for the feedback! I don't know much about editing, but I'll give them my best shot. I will also try to find a place to record where the echo won't be so bad.

You can use one of these to make a sound-proof blanket fort: https://www.vocalboothtogo.com/product/sound-blanket-producers-choice-with-grommets-black-and-white/

With the comments on the background noise and the like, I'm happy to run an edit through it and you can compare the difference if you'd like to send me the raw file :)

I really appreciate the offer. I would love to hear it without the echo. How would you like me to get the file to you?

The objective is not to sound like you are reading; you're supposed to be retelling a story. I expect you to edit your work.

The sides they read from:

Of what use was it to be loved and lose one's beauty and become Real if it all ended like this? And a tear, a real tear, trickled down his little shabby velvet nose and fell to the ground.

And then a strange thing happened. For where the tear had fallen a flower grew out of the ground, a mysterious flower, not at all like any that grew in the garden. It had slender green leaves the colour of emeralds, and in the centre of the leaves a blossom like a golden cup. It was so beautiful that the little Rabbit forgot to cry, and just lay there watching it. And presently the blossom opened, and out of it there stepped a fairy.
She was quite the loveliest fairy in the whole world. Her dress was of pearl and dew-drops, and there were flowers round her neck and in her hair, and her face was like the most perfect flower of all. And she came close to the little Rabbit and gathered him up in her arms and kissed him on his velveteen nose that was all damp from crying.

"Little Rabbit," she said, "don't you know who I am?

"The Rabbit looked up at her, and it seemed to him that he had seen her face before, but he couldn't think where.
"I am the nursery magic Fairy," she said. "I take care of all the playthings that the children have loved. When they are old and worn out and the children don't need them any more, then I come and take them away with me and turn them into Real."

"Wasn't I Real before?" asked the little Rabbit.

"You were Real to the Boy," the Fairy said, "because he loved you. Now you shall be Real to every one."
