I enjoyed the Zangwill I've heard so far. May I DPL?

ogus · Post by **ogus** » March 30th, 2021, 9:11 am

Of course. Delighted to have you as collaborator!

I hope to have have posed the first section by the end of the Easter weekend.

0:17 - "Please visit librivox dot org dot" - umm, should be just "librivox dot org".

Oh, and it doesn't matter much, but you have two i's in "comedies" in the file name.

So, was the narrator the "angel of the Lord" that the man found at the end of the section?

ogus · Post by **ogus** » April 5th, 2021, 3:10 am

Thanks for spotting these. Both blemishes corrected.

Yes, I think it is a reference to the first encounter with the narrator-artist.

PL OK! I would recommend some noise reduction to lessen the white noise, but that's up to you.

ogus · Post by **ogus** » April 29th, 2021, 12:10 am

Thanks. I'll listen again to see if I think that the white noise should be dealt with.
1st part of Anglicization posted. You might hear a wood pigeon cooing in the distance in some parts of this. If you find it obtrusive, I'll deal with this also.

I didn't hear the bird, but then, I'm listening on not-so-good laptop speakers.

PL OK!

Apologies for the delay in getting the next section to you. We took a week's holiday in the Lake District and now, on my return, I have work commitments which must take priority.
