Great!

Just hold your horses while you narrate. In the clip you sent us a long ago you were speaking like the devil himself was at yout tail. You have a nice voice so let it do the work and read slowly, easily, enjoying every word you speak.

And just as an advice to anyone doing these things: pauses are good as they can be shortened or deleted but speaking too fast binding sentences together is bad as then there is no way of editing them away from each other.

That becomes more acute with the requirement of adding music on the background where one would need to cut the narration / dialogue to fit with the music. Music has beats that can't be fooled but the timing of a speech can be edited... So just record loosely. The gaps can be edited away.

Good to hear that Oddwen!

You're welcome to give Gandalf a try Volo. I think you might manage it but it will be a task indeed. Let's try it.
