Thanks!

Love it! One note on pronunciation, an optional edit:

9:22 - "screaming, Demon! Fiend!" - up to you, but I've always heard "fiend" pronounced with a long E, like "bean" or "dean"

Unfortunately, it's right in the midst of a passionate portion of the poem, so it's harder to edit in, if you choose to do so.

edited file uploaded - it ain`t perfect but it`s OK

That`s me confusing fiend with the german feind.
Thanks

Here is a funny poem that my father used to recite when I was very young:

The Enchanted Shirt by John Hay (1838 - 1905)

Purple Raven - PL OK

The Enchanted Shirt - PL OK

Patterns - I took the liberty of using compression and amplification to get the volume up. I also noticed a very low-toned background noise, so I cleaned that up using a high-pass filter. The reading itself is excellent; it's just these little technical things that needed fixing.

Thanks for the clean-up on Patterns. Helpful feedback - I'll try to fix that on my end next time.
