Hi Karin,
I really enjoyed listening to that, your voice is clear, with good tone modulation, it is very crisp and pronunciation is spot on! Well done.
What I usually do in this kind of situation is use the technique of "reflective behaviour", we as humans often imitate the actions of the one sitting opposite us (like monkeys actually!), so I politely wipe my face expecting the other person to imitate the action sooner or later.... it has worked well for me.
I look forward to hearing the rest, keep going.
