Re: How to avoid the "I'm reading" voice

No one has to listen. (except the proof listener) Anne For my purposes (the reason for this post) I disagree with the idea that "no one has to listen, except for PL". Yes I understand that this is the LibriVox standard, but I'm (personally) shooting for a higher standard for myself. So my...

Re: Bloopers - 2

When you've been reading one unnecessarily long and complex sentence after another and you suddenly become aware that you're in the middle of yet another one and you have no idea where this sentence is going or how it's structured. https://librivox.org/uploads/bloopers/blooper_frustratingsentence.m...
