Re: [Weekly Poetry] A Serenade by Thomas Hood - dl

One more try. The checker says this is fine. I have no idea why the volume was different the second time; I didn't change anything. Oh, and it's now 01:50 long; I trimmed a little noise. https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/serenade_hood_cla_128kb.mp3 Hmm, that is an interesting thing to happen. :h...

Re: [GROUP/Historical Fiction] The Young Colonists: a Story of the Zulu and Boer Wars, by G. A. Henty - rr

Short, so thought I'd get the preface in. Haven't read a Henty for quite awhile... https://librivox.org/uploads/redrun/youngcolonists_00_henty_128kb.mp3 2:07 Thank you Larry! The Preface is ready for PL. Since I don't think you're the kind to mind, you'll be our first volunteer. :wink: I might be i...

Re: [Weekly Poetry] A Serenade by Thomas Hood - dl

First recording after getting the green light on my 1 minute test! Feedback is welcome! Also, wow it takes a while to go in and individually remove each breath. For those of you reading long chapters, do you really take all that time to take each breath out? Is there an editing short cut in Audacit...

Re: [GROUP/Historical Fiction] The Young Colonists: a Story of the Zulu and Boer Wars, by G. A. Henty - rr

[T]he only thing I’m kinda uncertain about is checking the audio through the checker. Is that pretty simple? Yes, it's pretty simple. Needs less setup than Audacity. :D You can install it from here . Then you can tell it which things to check. I have these options checked, on the 'Validation' -> 'C...

Re: [GROUP/Historical Fiction] The Young Colonists: a Story of the Zulu and Boer Wars, by G. A. Henty - rr

I have never heard this one before either so I'm excited(as well as my brothers who are dedicated Librivox G.A. Henty listeners😉)! Is there a PL for this project yet? There is! It's me. :lol: If you're interested in PLing a few of the chapters (and if you're quick!), we can try something out. I'd h...

Re: [Weekly Poetry] A Serenade by Thomas Hood - dl

Here's my adjusted file. It's 01:51 long. https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/serenade_hood_cla_128kb.mp3 We're close! That opening silence is just where we want it! But it does look like the volume in this one is a little low. If you boosted the volume in Audacity before exporting to MP3 the firs...

Thank you, I've got you in for chapter 4! I'm happy to get to hear this one, as I've never read it before! (Most of my existing favorites are already available for a re-listen. :wink:)

Re: [Weekly Poetry] A Serenade by Thomas Hood - dl

Thanks for the PL Larry, I'll be back with a fix for that. :wink:

And I enjoyed your rendition too! I think our range of styles and interpretations makes for an excellent listen! :thumbs:

I would like to claim Section 11, if I may ... I’d like to return section 8 to the “open” list. As something of a nature-lover, the text is uncomfortable for me … Ok, I'll remove your claim for chapter 11, with the elephant hunt. If you meant a claim in a different project, just let me know!

Re: Am I allowed to constructively critique a reader?

Personally, if I were consistently mispronouncing certain words, i would want to know so i can correct it on future encounters. That is what we have the 'CC' or 'Constructive Criticism' tag for. Not all PL-ers will feel comfortable offering "enhanced feedback" (pronunciations do differ wi...
