Interesting interpretation, thank you. I believe that the recital could be taken to another level if the following is taken into account.
1. The poem is written in iambic pentameter, which should not be ignored. Increasing the speed a bit and changing some of the stress points will help with that.
2. Visage should be pronounced /ˈvɪzɪdʒ/.
3. Ozymandias is pronounced as four syllables O - zy - man - dyas, and not O - zy - man - die - us. In this particular line, the stress in the beginning is not on "My" but on "name". Similarly in the next line, place the stress on "on" instead of "look".
4. "Nothing" is actually "No thing" in the original, which immediately improves the rhythmic structure.
