Apologies for the slight delay in new recordings - my desk microphone has failed. I'm getting a replacement Thursday 15th September. Hiatus ahoy :(

Dear TribalElder,
I have just listened to the second chapter and you sound wonderful reading it. It is just perfect, like a true, talented story-teller, not only perfectly accurate, but also great in acting the roles of the characters! Again, a delight listening to you. Congratulations!

Hi again. Hope everything is ok with you both, and that life is not throwing too much at you!

Part 4 of the story is now up and ready to go for PL, as and when time is available. It's not too much of a rush, I've got 23 more parts to do yet! :wink:

Time is 7:31, link here: https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/doodles_04_dowd_128kb.mp3

Many thanks! :thumbs:

Hello!
I am sorry for the late reply...I was busy with some exams...It was indeed a great pleasure listening to your recordings. You make the story and dialogues so vivid! The sound quality is good; the intro and ending accurate, the five seconds of silence at the end of the recording are there...so...PL OK...There are only few minor differences compared to the basic text ( for instance "a little" instead of "a bit"),but, like I said, they are rather insignificant, and, since there is a STANDARD requirement for prooflistening, I didn't note them here. Thank you for the opportunity to listen to you!
Best regards,
Simona

Good evening :)

I've just completed chapter 6, which has a running time of 16:22 and the link is here: https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/doodles_06_dowd_128kb.mp3

You may notice I sound a little more sombre at the end of this one, the chapter made me feel a little mournful, so I'm sorry if it's not my usual cheery self. I guess the mark of a good story is one which can change your emotion at the drop of a hat, though :mrgreen:

Enjoy anyway! I'll probably get a couple done Monday as I've not got a whole lot to do all day - I have a day off work, and they're rare, so I better use it well :wink:

Take care, hope you're all well!

J.

The story is beautifully written, but you really make it sound PERFECT! It is always such a delight to listen to each new chapter!

Edit: I'd like to apologise for the confusion I may have caused during the recording of Chapter 7, which is now up and ready for PL. It has a running time of 08:00 and the link is here: https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/doodles_07_dowd_128kb.mp3

I had to replace the track, because I realised that my copy of Audacity had reset, and I'd recorded the whole chapter in Stereo! Thankfully, I've managed to repair my mistake (and fix the MW which I messed up when I accidentally dragged one of the tracks out of place and completely messed up the order of the chapters!!!)

I guess it's just not been my day. Hopefully some sleep will fix it.

Take care and thanks for your patience with me :)

I must apologise to you both for the delay in continuing my work; I currently have practically no voice thanks to a stinking cold. I will continue as soon as I can get shot of it - I'll keep you informed.

Thanks!
