Chip's been trying to help me through all my troubles. He's a good guy. *grin* Anyhow. Yes, it is a headset. I have it down near my chin, which is way out of line of any air that should be passing through, but possibly not. I've discovered that if I raise the mic up, it has to be all the way up to m...

I just got finished with the Verses chapter. It's my first longer piece, but was good because I could split up tracks into the individual poems, and it made logical breaks for me to stop at. This was perfect for me. I edited as best I could, but may have missed something. Volume sounds good to me, b...

I'd like to claim a few of these too! I've done a few of the Aesop ones, so I'll steer clear of those. How about these? Chap 9: The Sun, Moon and Wind - E. Frere Chap 33: The Doll in the Grass - P. C. Asbj?rnsen Chap 45: The Glass Mountain - Hermann R. Kletke Chap 66: The Tinder-Box - Hans C. Anders...

Aww, what a sweet little poem. Here's mine!

Narnia
Tad Williams
Heinlein
Roald Dahl
Shel Silverstein
1984, as someone already mentioned
Hitchhiker's Guide the the Galaxy


I'm sure much more, too.

I'm working on it chip! I'll record this one on both the usb headset and the other typical headset, and see which works best. It's weird, because if I use the USB one, I can't go into the 'advanced settings' control under mic volume, but I can if I use the standard. But I'll get it by the end of the...

At first I thought these sewing cards might be similar to the cardboard things we have today for preschoolers, but it turns out that Mary Boole was a mathematician, and used these stitching cards to create geometric designs to teach children basics of curves and things. Think spirograph. Here's a li...

Chip, can you help me? How do you bring the volume up on these? And can you point me to a recording that is louder? The few that I've downloaded sound relatively the same, though I'm aware that windows/itunes/etc may be taking over and automatically adjusting volume. (Also, I've been downloading the...

May I claim #13 - p/q? This sounds like way too fun of a project not to jump in on. Thanks bundles!

Credit to Sara Schein. Let me know if it sounds too quiet again, as it really does sound ok to me. :o) I'll need to change something.

Working on #12!

Here's mine: http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0YHOBC1BCI68W2ON9NYHQNXAL4 This is one of my first recordings. Please let me know if something is awry. I had previously been told that my recordings were soft, but this sounds perfectly loud to me. This is a beautiful poem, I hope I did it justice. ~S...

I'll do #2 - the poems and such, and number 8. Perhaps more if I find some time stuffed in a closet around here. Thanks so much for tackling this, I'm very much looking forward to it!

I mentioned it over in Aesop's II - You can just put Sara Schein. I'm not afraid of the man. ;o) Especially since this is a -good- thing we're doing.

I'm back!

ChipDoc, may I claim 4-10 and 4-11? These are such excellent to practice on!

Thank you!

Wow! This recording seemed louder to me! I must have some strange settings. I'll work on getting everything stabilized for next projects. You can credit it to Sara Schein, though I don't have a webpage right now. And the dog trick probably won't work like that - she has a tendancy to just bark at th...
