Well, I read another one, Section 37, and tried to edit it to eliminate long silences. I think it may come from my stopping-and-starting technique, which needs work. I also am trying not to actually pause as long between chapters or topics. Anyway, here you go: The length of this recording is 29:44...

Well read - PL Okay - Betsy

Opening silence must be between 0.5 and 1 second (I believe 1 1/2 would be too long). The general wisdom seems to be that silences between paragraphs shouldn't be more than 2 seconds, and even less within paragraphs.

My only comments have to do with the length of pauses. --The longest one ...

Wow - very good work! PL Okay Betsy

Good catch, Betsy. My imagination pushed aside the reality of the words on the page...again! I also added the 'The End' prior to my closing (you're right, the words ARE there) and also tightened up the closing of chapter and book - makes it seem more like one big announcement (which I agree is an i...

Good job - PL OKay! - Betsy

Another good reading. Once again, you've stated "ready by" at the beginning and also the end. Simple deletion of one or the other will be fine. When I ran it through the Checker, I also got the volume caution. I'll leave that to the admin for advice. Betsy Thanks! Edited out the second &q...
