Nicely read. Just two comments:

--At 0:16: Skipped “(WORLD’S SERIES OPENING, 1922)"
--At 1:31
Written”…over there, pointing. The first, probably hoping…”
Spoken: “… over there pointing the first. Probably hoping…”
This changes the meaning of the two sentences.

Hi -

This is nicely read. You have a very quiet voice, which overall is an advantage, I think. However, at first it's almost as if you are whispering. I had to re-listen to the intro a couple of times to really get what you were saying. By the time you were reading the text, you'd raised your voice just slightly, but it was enough.

I think the quietness is part of your style, which is overall good. But I suggest you consider adding just a bit more power to it. Not a lot, just a bit.

In this recording, I'd like to hear you redo the intro.

Hey,
Here is my edited version of the recording. I have tweaked the file to the best of my abilities!
Extremely apologetic for the delay, thank you so much for bearing with me!

Thanks, Tanisha. Please remember to provide the length of your recording next time. Your file name is incorrect (should be powderofsympathy_01_morley_128kb). You’ve left out the underscores. It is important to name your files according to the instructions in the first post. (The system causes issues for the MC when they go to publish the book if the file names are wrong.)

If there are further changes needed, you can correct the name before you upload it, but if no further changes are required, we can ask the MC to correct it.

Betsy, can you please run Tanisha’s file through Checker? I’m away from home and don’t have access.

Thanks,

Oh I see. Will do the need full if required.

Hi folks - Well, I have a lot to say. I'm going to include my original notes and then comments on each fix are bolded.

Winnifred - the Checker only points out the filename issue. The other aspects are fine.

Tanisha - here is my feedback. I think that you must be new to editing audio files. Your inserts are very abrupt and loud. They don't "flow" really at all. Here are my comments:

5:48
Mispronounced “Eton” as if it were spelled “Etton”. Think “eaten”. Inserted correction very abrupt and cut out the following words “and Oxford;”
5:53
Mispronounced “obsolete” as if were spelled “obsolute”. Inserted correction again abrupt and cuts out the words “from an”.
7:05-7:28
Mispronounced “pint” as if were “hint”. Correction cuts into the word “entranced”;
Lager mispronounced as if it were “larger”.
8:43
Background noise – traffic? Still there.
9:28
Pronounced the “t” in “Clarets”
Pronunciation of “clarets” is okay now but the insert is very loud and noisy.
9:29
Pronounced Bordeaux” as if it were “Bordocks”
Bordeaux is correctly pronounced now but is very loud and jarring.
9:47
Said “Scottish” whiskey instead of “Scotch” whiskey
Correction is good but very loud and jarring

Winnifred - when you get a chance please review my feedback for Tanisha. She's made most of my original corrections, but now has some new mistakes. And definitely needs advice about inserting edits without jarring the existing work.
