Love this read! The raspy voice adds a lot to the character, I can easily picture them in my head. Make sure it's "and Gertrude" instead of "of Gertrude," just a simple mistake there. Your articulation is solid, and it matches extremely well with your consistent pacing! Make sure your future voices doesn't get in the way of any enunciation (exactly like you did here, this was a great example). This was just a fun read, you did a great job at keeping the read entertaining from start to finish! Well done!
