Feedback for my first audio story

Hi Trovan. I just listened to your audio piece. Overall I liked it. The imagery was good and it felt reminiscent of some versions of 'Alice's adventures in wonderland'. The voice pacing was good. At times I found the background music distracted me from the voice, especially when it wasn't just music but a song. I feel the atmosphere would have been better served with less intrusive music, instrumental only, perhaps. Unfortunately, I couldn't become totally immersed in the story because of these distractions. Hope this helps you to continue to improve what is already very good.
 
Well done. You have a good voice for this. I thought the pacing was good. I liked the music including the song, but it would have been more effective if it could have been softer during the narration.

As far as immersion goes, I had a little trouble understanding the "set up" at the beginning.

I had a little trouble understanding the dialog at times. I don't have any experience writing audio transcripts, so I don't know what your options are. In a story, I can tell what's said by the quotes and often I don't need dialog tags. I don't think you want to do voices, so I guess adding the dialog tags would help me understand who was talking and when the next person starts talking.
 
Thanks for the feedback!

I'll try to incorporate it in my next story. I'm already working on better music handling.
