(Complete) Memories and Adventures by Arthur Conan Doyle - lt

I think cheap fiction has a different meaning in the US to the UK

As I'm sure you know, I think the publishers meant authors who don't get paid much, rather than just bad fiction. I'm glad you're finding it fun though!

I've completed https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/memories_and_adventures_09_doyle_128kb.mp3 It was hard work. Not very exciting either. As dull as ditchwater actually, and a lot of difficult phrasing. Let's get back on a gunboat or some other adventure!! I don't think that's going to happen... I might be better reading in the morning. I'm not a great conversationalist so i can't say I use my voice a lot all through the day but by evening I find using my voice to read, pretty hard work. I start out okay then mistakes start creeping in, lots of re-records, then I start yawning! Not enough oxygen getting to my brain, I think it's a breathing thing maybe. I was glad to get to the end of the chapter! I won't give it up though. Don't worry about that. Just having a moan

I do better recording early in the day, too. It's a busy time for me, so usually I'll read a chapter in, and save it to go through and edit at a later sitting. I can always tell if I've read something when I didn't realize a migraine was going to start up later - my phrasing gets all choppy. Sometimes that's problematic when the writing was full of complicated phrasing to start with.

Chapter 9 doesn't sound like you had difficulties with it. Except for one spot, it presents very smoothly.

At 14:23, there is a blank pause where an "or" should be, which makes things sound confusing there for a listener, as if much more than that word were omitted. (It's this phrase: "if he could give me an introduction to Koch (or) to Dr. Bergmann")

I tried to fix the issue in Chapter 9 tonight. I haven't yet done it successfully, due to one thing and another

It's my noise gate I think which caused a pesky dropout. Tomorrow!

Hi,
Thanks, I'm pleased it's okay.

Section 11 is PL OK

I'll get to 12 tomorrow - I got a whole slurry of large PL files yesterday and today, queued up in the order they were submitted.

Got them all saved for attention

LCaulkins · Post by **LCaulkins** » October 3rd, 2021, 3:23 pm

12 and 13 are both PL OK

(watch out that your opening and ending silences don't get cut too short - should be .5-1.0 seconds up front, and 5 seconds at the end)

Hi, if there's a problem with the ones after Chapter 12 let me know and I can edit that for you.
