The intro is unchanged, as far as I can tell. Are you sure it uploaded? :hmm:

I'm still not quite sure what you mean about the maiden aunt. Everything sounded great to me, including the first sentence. :wink: Personally, I think you are being your own worst critic here. But if you do change anything else, just let me know which parts I need to spot PL, or if I should listen to the whole thing again.

Okay, NOW. (I plead temporary insanity -- youngest daughter is getting married on Saturday and I'm officiating. Also running errands. :)

Yay!

It'll probably be another day or two before I'm able to start on these, but I'm looking forward to it! :D

I decided to start with number 4, The Red Etin. :)

There is a long pause (about 3 or 4 seconds) at 2:11. Anything more than 1.5 seconds or so feels very long to a listener, so I would cut this down.

Here and there in the recording, I'm hearing a bit of noise in the background, like a rustling maybe. Some examples are at 4:50, 5:15, 7:56, and 9:11. I don't think this needs to be re-recorded, but I point it out as something you may want to watch for.

At 19:40, there is a sudden cutting out, then suddenly the sound seems to cut back in. There's some sort of little electronic-sounding squeak right there, too. I'm not sure if this was an uploading error, or what, :hmm: but you may want to double check what's going on in that spot.

Mercury must be in retrograde. :)

I will check all of that out before I go any further. Thank you!

Oh, I forgot to mention... I love the Scottish voice you're taking on for the characters! Very well done! :clap:

Thanks. I've been taking an Online class. Sometimes it lapses into Irish, but I'm trying. :)

I also listen to a LOT of Davida Porter (Outlander.) She's great.

I'll be sure to get at least a few of these done Monday or (probably) Tuesday, when I get back from my trip.
