Wonderful, I'm very happy that the book made it - and so fast too! :9: As I suggested it, I think I should contribute as well - Is it too early to claim the Preface and Chapter 1? :mrgreen: I'm sure with all the dog lovers around here, and at least one chapter of interest for each of them, it will b...

Hi, hope I'm not too late yet...

it's Goo-lAsh, with a nicely pronounced A at the end. I recorded it here:

Cheers,

Ava, I didn't notice anything wrong with this file, no softer than others I am listening to, so apparently you fixed any problems with the editing... everything is ok now. Sounds good too... you did a fine job! Thank you! :D The problem was not the volume, the mic on my headset developed some sort ...

Chapter 29 finished, 10:16: http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/tg/humbugsofworld_29_barnum.mp3 It took me quite some time to record this, my mic has developed some problems on the way :( I guess I will have to replace it. If this recording is substandard, please let me know, and I will re-reco...

Finished Chapter 28: (8:47)

I'd be happy to receive any CC!

Thanks,
Ava.

Also we have a "Slowing UP"? I was not sure, so I recorded additionally "Slowing down". For what it's worth -- people do say "Slow up!" where I live. I have no idea if it would fit with this text, though. I presume it is a regional American colloquialism. Also, I think...

Tataa.... only hours later, the second part of the narrator (10:32): http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/law/countessjulie_narrator_2.mp3 Again, there were some small things in the text: "Kristin putting on his STOCK?" No idea if this is right... maybe his SOCK, but that would not mak...

Finally I had time to go over part one again... I have corrected the mistakes (so I hope) and uploaded again, it's 10:38 now.

busy recording part 2 now...

Just returned from my vacation, and half of it done already - my goodness, do I feel pressurized here :shock: I have recorded the first part, it's 10:27 and it can be found here: http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/law/countessjulie_narrator_1.mp3 Some comments on the file: - I pronounced Augus...

That's exactly what I wanted to suggest

No thinking for me, all the work for you

Cheers,
Availle.

My first recording (after the test) can be found in the Short Poems Collection 082 :D I had time to look at the text, and although the narrator as such is clear... what do I do in instances like those: JULIE [Hesitating]. But—it might happen again. or KRISTIN [Listening]. Who's that walking upstairs...

Hi,

could I do the narrator part please?

I have an Austrian accent, and I am on vacation right now, so I can only start recording in about three weeks. If both is fine with you, please sign me up

Cheers,
Ava.

Hi, I thought I should do something tiny before I start reading 'serious' chapters.. :D I have recorded the following: 'The Flowers' by Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963) Text URL: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/24364 MP3 URL: http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/jc/flowers_huxley_a.mp3 Duration: 0:00:...

Footnote: A dialect is usually spoken by people who live in a certain region of a country. Those people speak their mother tongue in their own individual way. For example, many Scottish people have a dialect. An accent usually describes the way people pronounce words of a language that is different...

Yes, some accents can be harder to understand than others, but I don't think that disallowing people to read in a foreign language will solve the problem. I have listened to a number of books with different readers, and the one accent that I found most difficult came from a British... :shock: Unfort...
