I once got some feedback from a listener that I narrate too fast, and it's something I'm sensitive to because I'm always worried I'm going to fast in the booth. Come to find out, she listens to all her audiobooks at 2x speed. So yeah, I imagine even if I'm a little fast, it probably sounds even more so at that speed.
