Condensed the 30 min recording into a 11 min audio file, this is just about on track with the 20 min goal. Hope to be recording the rest tonight. I'm sure I don't need to remind you guys to be harsh with criticism's.

changed the settings try it again

Please use MP3 instead of wav. Wav is huge, and mp3 is a smaller file and is really good enough for almost anything.
I have no way to download this now, it's too large. But I caught a few seconds of it.

You've improved the R enunciation.
I'd probably work more on your enunciation of other sounds before recording the rest. You might also want to make a DIY pop filter, but that's a lesser issue.

You're losing a lot of S sounds as "th", eg. 'rethponth' for response or 'theemth' for seems.
This is relatively easy to fix, but may take a little more practice.

Work on closing your teeth completely for S and don't let your tongue through. Also, keep your tongue back and up while making an S sound to avoid blocking the air passage through your teeth. The tip of your tongue should not touch your teeth or gums.
This kind of lisp is mainly due to a lazy tongue, just keep the tongue under control and you should be fine.

S: Teeth closed against each other. Lips tight and wide. Tip of tongue away from your teeth and gum; keep it floating in your mouth cavity while making the sound.

You're also losing some L sounds, as in "well", sounding more like 'wew'.

This is a lip issue mainly. You're making an O shape with your lips, when you should be keeping them parallel with a small space between them.
Secondarily, your tongue may be lying flat against the bottom of your mouth. It needs to be engaged, pressed against your the inside of your upper teeth, right next to the gum line.
Teeth should probably be separated for this sound, but that's less critical, and I think you're already doing this.

Lip shape and tongue position for this one.

I'm not sure how much you've improved the R, but it sounds like a bit from the beginning. However, I was unable to listen to more than a few seconds, and can't download it because the file is too large right now.

It is 3:30 am. The house has been quiet enough to record for a few hours, and I have finished all the recording. Sorry that this took me so long, I have been thinking it was irresponsible of me to take on this project, given the unforeseen stresses in my life, that would have been better avoided. I am back up to 30 mins of audio to edit, I will than proceed to check the audio myself for any glaring errors, in what I expect to be about 20 mins of audio total. I would than upload as an MP3, but I do not have the correct encoder on this pc, nor do I have administrator's access to install one. So I will upload it again in lossless wav, which will be a huge file I know. but this is going to be the best quality version I can possibly get to TVA.

And than this happened.

I'm sure we are all aware of how badly crashes can effect progress if you don't save often enough , and I did not save after the half hour recording session. As a result, little remains and its unedited . So I'm Going to record this again while I still have some quiet.

That sucks. Better luck next time!

On closer inspection I actually did not lose any audio. But much of what I edited needed to be re-done. I'm just about to upload it to the internet.
