Hear me try to pronounce Maori words

Here is another story I did yesterday. This story was beyond frustrating and it was a learning day for sure. I wanted to do a story, so I asked to do this one not realizing what I was getting myself into. Doing voice overs is difficult enough for me already, so when I had to pronounce Maori (Native people of New Zealand) words in my story I struggled. I couldn't even focus on how I was saying things and I got really stressed out, which caused my throat to close up a bit. I swear I tried four different times to record the story and this was the best I could do. lol By the end of recording this track, I didn't even like how I said my own name!
Cheers!
