Thank you,

The footnote says "1 The Russian form of the German name Munich." This is from page 81, and I recorded it both with the foo...

I think your style is fine for this. History doesn't require really dramatic readings, so your more calm style works fine, IMHO. :) At times the readings feel a little... mechanical. Perhaps it's the pacing? Maybe vary the length of the silences a little more - a bit longer where there's a change o...

Don't worry, since your files are otherwise PL OK, I can fix the filenames during cataloging (IF I am aware of them...)

But don't do it again, okay? Pinky promise?

Of course! Lol

Please watch your filenames! Your last three uploads are missing the author's last name. Tricia - could you please note that in the MW so I don't miss it during cataloging? Thanks. I'm so sorry, I was told about that filename issue before and completely spaced it. I am more that willing to go back ...
