You have to record and edit and upload no matter how bad you may "think" your reading or voice is. I've been doing this for over five years and I'm still learning and hopefully improving my readings if it is only by 5% a year. I'm hoping to get to be reasonably good before I kick the bucke...

Maybe a daft question - but can I do some in English?

Edit:
Just realised that I can - sorry to have not read it properly.

Best wishes for your recovery and good health! :D Thanks. I've only just realised that there is a limit of two contributions per compilation and I've sent three already. I'm working on another (I can't seem to stop at the moment!) But I will hold it back. In any case it's a test to see if I can imp...

That's about 30-40 A4 pages and a reading time in excess of two hours depending on your reading speed. So it would not be suitable or allowed into any of the short story or short essay collections etc., all of which have a preferred time of one hour or less and definitely under 70 minutes. So I thin...

Peter (Having trouble with Internet at present , I think our hub is failing).

You could divide the long section into 2 parts (either naming them "The Final Problem Part 1" and "The Final Problem Part 2" or "The Final Problem" and "The Final Problem Continued". Yes, I will do that - part 1 and part 2. This will keep me out of trouble fo...

I was thinking of recording "The Final Problem" (Shelock Holmes) by Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) but it's 23+ pages and I estimate it would be about 1 hour 40 minutes in recorded length. It's also a big read for me, so I don't know. Would there be a possibility of breaking it into two pa...

Sorry I was not visible during the session but I had only downloaded and set up Zoom 20 minutes beforehand and did not really know how to use it. I had to fix up the camera and sound at the last minute as well. My wife kept passing me messages saying do this and that, as she is experienced with Zoom...

I take it that 11.00 am will be about 4.00pm UK time? I might just make it if I can.

Oh, sorry, I just realised that I don't do Zoom!
