More Roger, including that Chapter 11 hotel scene, where Roger's smarmy doesn't work so well as he hoped.... https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_roger_08.mp3 https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_roger_09.mp3 https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_roger_10.mp...

Thanks, Todd

Chapters 5 and 6 are PL OK, thanks.
Roger's last line in each is "Go blow your jets!" - a favorite.

Here's my attempt at zebrewski https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_zebrewski_14.mp3 Well, you're spelling Zewbriski differently from the way it is in the book, but you are pronouncing it fine, and that's the important part! The utter panic in your voice for "They can't leave us ...

I'm back from a movie and now have time to listen to the chapter. I am hearing clipping in many of the loud syllables*, so I think it would be good to re-record the chapter with the microphone gain turned down a bit - or read a little farther away from the microphone, if you think the mic itself is ...

Here are some initial Roger files. I tried to make him as he's written - the kinda smarmy cocky person you really want to hate. https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_roger_01.mp3 https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_roger_02.mp3 https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standby...

OK, give it a shot.

Hello, may I read zebrewski the panicky passenger? I think he has 2 lines total, is that correct? You've got Zewbriski, who has 6 lines - all in chapter 14. The book describes Zewbriski as " a short fat man with a moonface and wearing glasses" - a female reader is fine. You'll read: Zewbr...

Here is the corrected file:

Yep, yep, yep. The moment the hatch opens and Strong steps in, Al James is ready to get started on rescuing the passengers. Just right, PL OK.

Al James Chapter 14 https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_AlJames_14.mp3 There is a missing line. Jim, our narrator, pointed out I was wrong to assign "How many jet boats do you have?" to Steve Strong when it clearly belongs to Al James. You apparently recorded your lines for...

Al James Chapter 11 https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_AlJames_11.mp3 Al James Chapter 12 https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_AlJames_12.mp3 Chapters 11 and 12 are PL OK . Note: if this were a standard chapter your volume would have been much too low (say, 9 dB too lo...

Chapter 22: At ~8:04 I hear "Strong came in with an auto scriber" - the text reads "Strong came in with an audio scriber" - so it's See PL notes . Here are the corrections: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_narration_22.mp3 Chapter 22 is now PL OK . Thanks again...

Here is the remainder of the narration. It is interesting that the big reveal/back stories chapter (#18) is one of the shortest in the book. https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_narration_17.mp3 [12:24] https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/standbyformars_narration_18.mp3 [9:41] Chapter...
