Wanna Beta an SGA Podfic?

I've been enjoying podfics -- fanfics read aloud by fans (sometimes, but rarely, the fic's writer). Flannel-PJ type podfics really help me get to sleep.
I have a lot of experience narrating books, articles, and manuals for readers with print impairments, but podfic is *different*. I lack any creative writing skills, so podficcing looks like one way I could contribute to fandom.
There's a lovely Due South fic I'm hoping to record, but it's a massive project. In an uncontrolled rush of practicality, I decided to start small, with a Stargate Atlantis podfic.
Yesterday I listened to vociferocity's great recording of thingswithwings' Synthesis. While Cool Hand Luke is there, the archive doesn't have the third element in the remix-a-thon, so I decided to fill that gap. I did! today! with GarageBand!
The story is
toft's Tall Kingdom I Surround
It's PG for a couple swears; it's nominally "amputee fetishism" for
kink_bingo and it's also very abstract. It's from the city's POV about its human inhabitants, so the pairing is Atlantis/Everyone.
I'm not very happy with the sound quality -- presumably there's some way to massage this in GB, but I'm overwhelmed with choices. I'm more confident of the reading itself, but I'm eager for suggestions -- am I acting too much? I left in some errors, should I be fixing them? I really do want concrit!
Reply and I'll message you the MP3 link. Any comments you have to offer would be swell -- I'm a rank beginner!
