By the time I got done with the reading, I was somewhat hoarse. I took a break to take care of something for my dad (and that didn't work right!), before I put the audio onto the computer.
When I did put it on the computer, I found out that I had accidently hit the buttons connected to the external mic inputs, so I didn't get anything but a static sound!!! Needless to say, that rather exasperated me...but since I tend to learn from my mistakes, I probably will be much more careful in the future and less likely to make the same mistake again!
I started on a second take, but something came up and I had to quit...I will re-do the whole thing perhaps tomorrow.
