Advice needed.

Hey, everyone:

This is something I've been considering doing for quite some time now: record a couple of Russian audiobooks, mostly for kids and for people wanting to learn Russian. I finally got around to actually recording some of it today, and I would like to know how you find it, particularly those who are advanced non-native speakers. Unfortunately, I have been concentrating too much on "for the kids" part, so I speek too fast in places, which I fully realize, and I'm going to slow down quite a bit. :) However, I would like to know if people find my diction, intonations and recording quality good enough for a project like this.

Here you can find the story, one of my favorites when I was a schoolboy, and my 5-minute test-run to go along with it.

Thanks in advance! :)
