Thanks!
I do have a check list to follow when uploading audio files, but guess who forgot to look at her check list yesterday. (Some man--as in neglected husband--was bugging me to finish and join him to watch a movie.)

Martin, I missed a step! I always use MP3 Gain and Checker but failed to do this yesterday afternoon. I am reloading it now. Also, pardon my request for clarification: Should I leave the tempo as submitted yesterday or adjust it back to the original speed? What I am uploading this second time, with ...

Chapter 8 https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/idiot0304_18_dostoyevsky_128kb.mp3 44:59 Martin, during my final listen, I felt the tempo was just a bit too fast. I adjusted it -5 and then just sampled it and thought it was improved. If by any chance this is NOT a good change when you listen all the...

Oh, I did hope I gave him the manic speed of speech that signaled the coming shattering! Thanks for the assurance. My first pleasure once this project is "put to bed" will be to go back and re-read the whole book. I've loved other works by Dostoevsky. This now may be my favorite. Thank you...

Okay then! Very good. Thank you so much.
Movin' forward!
So sorry for your partner's vision issues, but so nice it's a remediable problem, soon to be resolved!
My best to the terrier!!
More to come soon....

Martin-- I've recorded all the way to the end and have begun editing on Ch. 8. I'm aiming to finish by mid-November or earlier. I wanted to reassure you that I have plenty of time to completely start over on Ch. 7 if by any chance it could be a lot better. I just don't want you to worry about giving...

Here's Chapter 6 of Part 4.
On to the breaking of the china vase!

Oh my!!! This is WONDERFUL! Thank you, Martin!

Oh my goodness: THREE times! You amaze me! Yes--the shattered vase is currently in the "editing room." Heading your way shortly! I jumped ahead and read to the end of the book just for my own pleasure and understanding. Oh, sad sad sad! Jan P.S. As always, thank you for your timely response!

Here's Part 04, Chapter 5--

Greetings, Camille-- Thank you so much for your response! He is an older Russian man, a real "poser." My Proof Listener has signed off on my garbled version given the fact that our elderly Russian is always drunk, probably DOES NOT REALLY know any French, and undoubtedly never EVER met Nap...

Martin-- Thanks! I had thought POSSIBLY this would be the case. General Ivolgin is SUCH a posturer--perhaps my version of his drunken Russian-accented "poser" French fits the tale. I will be back if I need help with French again on this project. (I cannot believe how impossible it is for m...

Greetings-- I'm attempting to use a gruff, elder male voice--in theory quoting Napolean!--to pronounce the following phrases: Voilà un garçon bien éveillé! Qui est ton père? Le fils d'un boyard et d'un brave, pardessus le marché. J'aime les boyards. M'aimes-tu, petit? Bah, il devient supersti’sioux!...

Thanks, Ann--I so appreciate this!
And did I in fact upload the most recent chapter to the wrong MC???
