Good work!
I really enjoyed listening to your work -- you've got a really good and rich quality, reminded me of a story time audiobook or radio show (like This American Life). One thing I noticed is that your voice changes a little bit when you stumble on a tricky section -- it's almost like a subtle laugh to yourself, but definitely changes how your voice sounds.
Good job with the overall pacing and enunciation of the words. I did notice with the word “ingredients” you softened the “d” sound quite a bit. I want you to make sure that even in long words you are separating those syllables and enunciating them to keep the word clear and concise for the audience. There were also a few sentences where I noticed you paused to take a breath in the middle of it, so keep your breathing in mind so that you avoid taking those micro breaths and disrupting your flow. If you need to take a longer pause after a sentence to take a deeper breath for the next, then be sure to take that moment. It’s better to take a breath at the beginning of a sentence than in the middle. Be mindful of pronunciation of some of those words and feel free to google them if you don't know how they're pronounced. Overall you kept a fun tone throughout, so nice job!
