Enjoy
Julie.

PL OK

Nice reading of a nice story . On the technical side its only got 5 secs silence at end - we ask for 10 on things over 30 mins - which this just is and it does get a little quiet at the end - the dramatic effect is great but too loud or too soft can cause problems - its OK in this one though . I loved your voice and the passion you had for the story

Thanks for the feedback, Anne

.
I added five seconds at the end, it should be fine now.

Julie.

And Julie, thanks a lot for adding the silence.

The Devil and Tom Walker

I`ve just heard a little word change in my reading..

original text :
...... stalked about a field, where
a thin carpet of moss, scarcely covering the ragged beds of
pudding-stone, tantalized and balked his hunger; and sometimes he
would lean his head over the fence, look piteously at the passer-by,
and seem to petition deliverance from this land of famine.

I said "humour" ... In my opinion I don`t think that is a problem...
Just thought I´d let ya know

I hope you agree
Joseph

I agree, Joseph. That falls well within our goal of 99% accuracy, and is no worse than a typo at Gutenberg. And who knows, perhaps it was originally "humour" anyway ...

You have made life difficult

- I haven't listened yet , normally what I do for standard proof listening is to listen and as long as it makes sense I don't check the text - if it doesn't make sense I listen again then look up the text . But now I know it doesn't make sense its going to be hard to miss

puddings and famine = hunger .
But in the end its you who has to decide and maybe I wont be able to hear the difference

Anne

Didn't realise Anna had already answered - wrote this and was called away before I posted it - Sorry must check next time

Alright already

I have corrected the mistake and uploaded again.
"File already exists: the original file has been renamed."
Should be OK now
