Feel free to ask for changes.

Do we need to insert a marker before each of our character's recordings? .... the previous sentence, for example ... to make it easier for the poor editors to identify? After all, the butler says "Yes, Sir" at least twice with, as I read it, different intonations, so it'd be a help to know...

I'm looking forward to this!

Wow! Enjoy yourself!

Welcome Koori: it's a lot of fun. Try yourself out with the weekly poem, or perhaps with Readers Wanted/Short Poetry - Anything goes, or dive straight into Readers Wanted and ask for a chapter of something you fancy. Solo (doing all of one work yourself) is *hard* work, but have a try ... especially...

I found the same thing with the poem Abou ben Adhem ... I've no idea why; it just touched something in me. I got round it by reading it again and again before final recording ... desensitisation.

Thanks, Hugh; it's good to see our exposure increasing like that.

Kara, where's the Comments area? I couldn't find anything under recent news, and couldn't see any link specifically labelled Comments, on the Home page.

I'll take Chapter 6 if it's not been taken? (A rest from Rabindranath Tagore!)

And a suggestion; any of us who write poetry and are willing to put it into the public domain, put it up for recording ... and for possible collection into one book?

Thank you all; I've just bought a mike today, and will start on Tagore this evening. I've been reading the essay/book and marking it for speaking emphasis this afternoon. We'll see how it goes. Hugh, I'll have a look at the Nietsche when I'm done with the Tagore. I'm not always going to do non-ficti...

Cori mentioned this site in a DP forum. I've always liked reading aloud, though I'm more likely to be reading non-fiction, as I certainly don't trust my ability to assign individual voices to the characters in fiction! ... though I do love reading Terry Practchett aloud, complete with personalities ...
