Is the following sentence correctly punctuated?

He was begging for change but he was shivering, and his voice dying down so that no one was able to hear what he was saying.

Many thanks.

The punctuation is okay, but I would add another "was", as in

"..., and his voice was dying down..."

or "and his voice was becoming weaker/ quieter..."
